Proposed Transaction Overview

Proposed Transaction Overview D.R. Horton (“DHI”) is proposing to purchase 75% of the outstanding shares of Forestar (“FOR”) for $16.25 per share The approximately 10.7 million shares that DHI does not acquire will remain publicly traded FOR would become a large-scale, national land developer through a mutually beneficial relationship with DHI Together, FOR and DHI would identify land development opportunities to expand FOR’s platform across DHI’s broad national footprint DHI would acquire a large portion of FOR’s developed lots at market prices As the nation’s leading homebuilder with operations in all of FOR’s major markets, DHI is well-positioned to help FOR maximize returns in its existing communities FOR would remain a public company with ability to fund near term growth through existing cash and redeploying capital generated from efficiently selling FOR’s current assets. FOR would opportunistically access capital markets to support its growth as the scale of the business increases FOR would be led by new Executive Chairman Don Tomnitz, who was DHI’s CEO for over 15 years, and would be supported by a best in class management team and board of directors FOR stockholders would have the right to elect either cash or to retain their shares. Cash and stock elections would be prorated so that after the transaction, DHI would own 75% of outstanding FOR shares and existing stockholders would own 25%

Strategic Rationale of Combination Land development and homebuilding are highly related, but fundamentally different businesses As the nation’s largest homebuilder on pace to close approximately 45,000 homes in fiscal 2017, DHI has an immense appetite for finished lots DHI is committed to owning no more than a 2 to 3 year supply of lots and supplementing the rest of its land pipeline through lot option purchase agreements with land developers Most land developers lack the scale and access to capital to be consistent suppliers of a significant portion of lots to DHI across its national footprint In partnership with DHI, FOR would become a national, well-capitalized land development company, selling lots directly to DHI and other builders FOR would benefit from DHI’s network of markets, long-tenured employees and land seller and business relationships to rapidly accelerate growth FOR remaining a public company is essential to ensuring access to growth capital as the business scales

Operational Overview Operational terms of the relationship between DHI and FOR would be outlined and agreed to in the Master Supply Agreement FOR would be led by an experienced management team incented to maximize value for FOR’s stockholders FOR would be led by Executive Chairman Donald Tomnitz, who was DHI’s Chief Executive Officer for over 15 years The future FOR would benefit from a focused strategy and the continuity of its experienced professionals New land deals would be sourced in two ways: FOR’s existing land acquisition and development professionals DHI’s experienced local teams that span 78 markets All new land deals would be approved by the new FOR investment committee Lots would be developed by FOR and then sold to DHI and other builders at market prices

Strategic Rationale: DHI is a best-in-class homebuilder that will benefit from a strong strategic relationship with a separate land development company Advances DHI’s focus on maximizing return on assets and inventory turns DHI’s deep in-market relationships, operating platform and economies of scale allow for both FOR (land) and DHI (homebuilder) to achieve target returns DHI has sufficient cash and available capital for the transaction while maintaining its leverage ratio (homebuilding debt to total capital) below 30% Strategic Rationale: DHI’s platform offers FOR additional geographic and price point diversity Access to DHI’s proven land acquisition and development teams with experience in their markets across cycles Proprietary sharing of builder data for evaluation of proposed land projects Capitalizes on land development opportunities as builders shorten land positions Limits disposition risk as a result of DHI’s plan to buy the majority of finished lots FORESTAR D.R. Horton Strategic Rationale & Underwriting Existing Project Underwriting: Sourcing parameters determined by DHI management Geographic Focus: Diversified Acquisition Price: Market for finished lots Payback Period: 1 to 2 years Pre-tax Return on Inventory: 20% Project Underwriting: Sourcing parameters determined by FOR management with access to DHI resources Geographic Focus: Diversified Acquisition Price: Negotiated raw land prices Payback Period: 2 to 5 years IRR: high teens+

STAND-ALONE FORESTAR CHALLENGES FUTURE FORESTAR STRENGTHS Difficulty identifying critical mass of attractive projects to deploy excess cash and drive growth with current platform Lack of geographic diversification and depth in current markets Inability to effectively leverage SG&A with current scale Lack of a clear path to future growth and profitability Limited access to and high cost of capital Ability to deliver a significantly increased number of communities and lots across a geographically diversified platform Access to experienced in-market land sourcing and development teams Improved overhead leverage at corporate and divisional levels A transparent, simplified, profitable business plan Improved access to and lower cost of capital Unlocks potential of FOR’s team through a new focused growth strategy FOR would significantly benefit from its strategic relationship with DHI The Future Forestar

A strategic relationship with DHI would drive significant growth and value creation for FOR by capitalizing on the market opportunity available due to a lack of multi-market, well-capitalized, large scale land developers Sources: DHI Management, public filings, Forestar definitive proxy filed 6/1/17 Future Forestar Value Creation Lot Deliveries Lot Revenues ($MM) Lot Development Operating Profit ($MM) Assumptions / Projections: The above growth plan is based on future DHI-sourced projects and does not include lot deliveries, revenue or operating profits from FOR’s existing assets DHI expects to accelerate lot absorptions and improve the return profile across FOR’s existing asset base, but those benefits are not included in this analysis DHI sources 8 projects for FOR within the first year, scaling up to a run-rate of 24 projects per year by 2021 across DHI’s 78 operating markets Project level assumptions are based on a representative sample of deals that DHI either currently owns or controls This growth plan is funded with FOR’s existing balance sheet and assumes modest project-level leverage and no new equity

Letter to Forestar Board of Directors

Proposed Master Supply Agreement Promotes FOR’s acquisition, development and sale of lots to DHI and other builders FOR and DHI teams would collaborate on new lot development opportunities across DHI’s broad national footprint FOR and DHI teams would each source and present potential lot development opportunities for evaluation For potential lot development opportunities sourced by FOR, 50% of lots would be offered to DHI on market terms; if DHI declines offer, FOR may market and sell the lots to other builders DHI would present potential lot development opportunities to FOR with up to 100% of the lots to be sold to DHI; if the parties fail to agree on terms, DHI will retain the opportunity Approval of independent directors would be required as appropriate

Proposed Stockholders Agreement Customary terms for this type of investment including: Permits DHI to nominate a number of members of FOR’s board of directors commensurate with DHI’s equity ownership The FOR board of directors would include at least three independent directors Provides DHI customary controlling shareholder consent rights at any time it owns more than 30% of the outstanding FOR equity Establishes an investment committee for decisions regarding property acquisitions and certain debt incurrences by FOR
