Completion of Offering of 7.15% Senior Notes due 2020

On November 26, 2013, Meritage Homes Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), completed an offering of $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.15% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) that are guaranteed (the “Guarantees,” and collectively with the 2020 Notes, the “Securities”) by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The Securities were offered to investors in a private placement in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be sold except in a transaction registered under, or exempt from, the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

The 2020 Notes will be treated as a single class under the Indenture with the Company’s previously issued and currently outstanding $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.15% Senior Notes due 2020. Because the 2020 Notes issued on November 26, 2013 (as described above) will be subject to transfer restrictions upon issuance, the new notes will be identified by different CUSIP numbers than those for the outstanding 7.15% Senior Notes due 2020 and will trade separately from the outstanding notes until the new notes are exchanged for new exchange notes registered under the Securities Act. A description of the registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the 2020 Notes is included below in this Form 8-K.

The Securities were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated April 13, 2010, among the Company, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The material terms of the 2020 Notes and the Indenture are described below.

The 2020 Notes are the general unsecured obligations of the Company. The 2020 Notes will rank senior in right to all future obligations of the Company that are, by their terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 2020 Notes and pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured obligations of the Company that are not so subordinated. The 2020 Notes bear interest at 7.15% per annum, payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2014.

The Company may redeem any or all of the 2020 Notes at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments on the 2020 Notes being redeemed, discounted to the date of redemption (on a semiannual basis) at a discount rate equal to the rate payable with respect to comparable treasury securities plus 0.50%.

The terms of the 2020 Indenture, among other things, generally limit, subject to exceptions, the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to (i) incur secured indebtedness and (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions.

The Indenture provides for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others: nonpayment of principal or interest; breach of covenants or other agreements in the Indenture; defaults under certain other

2

indebtedness; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes then outstanding may declare the principal of, premium, of any, and accrued interest on all the 2020 Notes immediately due and payable. In addition, in the event there is both (i) a change in control and (ii) a ratings decline by either Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., the Company will be required to commence and consummate an offer to purchase all Notes then outstanding at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest (if any) to the date of repurchase.

The foregoing description of the 2020 Notes and the Indenture is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indenture, including the form of note, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the sale of the 2020 Notes, the Company and the Guarantors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of November 26, 2013 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with the initial purchasers of the 2020 Notes. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission exchange notes (“Exchange Notes”), which will have substantially identical terms as the 2020 Notes (except that the Exchange Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions), so the Company can offer to exchange freely tradable Exchange Notes for the 2020 Notes.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

On November 26, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the offering of Notes described above. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
