<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May&nbsp;6, 2024</B>&#151;Meritage Homes Corporation (NYSE: MTH, &#147;Meritage&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;), the fifth-largest
homebuilder in the U.S., today announced that it has commenced an offering of $500&nbsp;million aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the &#147;notes&#148;), subject to market and other conditions. The Company also
expects to grant the initial purchasers of the notes a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">13-day</FONT> option to purchase up to $75&nbsp;million of aggregate principal amount of additional notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed fully, unconditionally, and jointly and severally initially by each of
the Company&#146;s direct and indirect owned subsidiaries from time to time guaranteeing the Company&#146;s existing senior notes, that is a guarantor or obligor under the Company&#146;s existing revolving credit agreement or that is a guarantor or
obligor with respect to certain refinancing indebtedness with respect to the Company&#146;s existing senior notes. Interest related to the notes is expected to be payable semi-annually in arrears on May&nbsp;15 and November&nbsp;15 of each year,
beginning on November&nbsp;15, 2024. The Company will satisfy any conversion elections by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of the Company&#146;s
common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company&#146;s common stock, at the Company&#146;s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company&#146;s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the
notes being converted. The interest rate, the initial conversion rate, and certain other terms of the offering will be determined at the time of pricing. The offering is subject to market conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or
when the offering will be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the
offering to pay the cost of entering into capped call transactions, as described below, to redeem all of its outstanding 6.00% Senior Notes due 2025 and the remainder for general corporate purposes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to
purchase additional notes, the Company expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of such additional notes to enter into additional capped call transactions, as described below, and to use the remainder of such net proceeds for
general corporate purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Contemporaneous with the pricing of the notes, the Company expects to enter into privately negotiated capped call
transactions in respect of the notes with one or more of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and/or certain other financial institutions (the &#147;counterparties&#148;). The capped call transactions are expected to cover, subject
to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock initially underlying the notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company&#146;s common stock upon conversion
of any notes and to offset any cash payments made by the Company in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to
purchase additional notes, the Company expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the counterparties in respect of the additional notes. </P>

respective affiliates to purchase shares of the Company&#146;s common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company&#146;s common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes. These
activities could also increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price per share of the Company&#146;s common stock or the notes at that time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect
to the Company&#146;s common stock and/or by purchasing or selling shares of the Company&#146;s common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and from time to time prior to the
maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period for the notes or following any termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase or early conversion of the notes). These
activities could also increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price per share of the Company&#146;s common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of holders of notes to convert the notes, and, to the extent the
activity occurs following conversion or during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the amount and/or value of the consideration that holders of notes will receive upon conversion of such notes. </P>

right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) at a purchase price of 100% of their principal amount plus any accrued

(which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $232.2988&nbsp;per share). The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 32.5% over the last reported sale price of the Company&#146;s common stock of
$175.32&nbsp;per share on NYSE on May&nbsp;6,2024. The Company may not redeem the notes prior to the maturity date. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Contemporaneous with the pricing of
the notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions in respect of the notes with certain financial institutions, which include certain initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and other financial institutions
(the &#147;counterparties&#148;). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, the number of shares of the Company&#146;s common stock initially underlying the notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to the Company&#146;s common stock upon conversion of any notes and to offset
any cash payments made by the Company in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be $350.64&nbsp;per
share, which represents a premium of 100% over the last reported sale price of the Company&#146;s common stock of $175.32&nbsp;per share on May&nbsp;6,2024, and is subject to certain adjustments. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to
purchase additional notes, the Company expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the counterparties in respect of the additional notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To hedge their positions in the capped call transactions, the Company expects the counterparties or their respective affiliates to purchase shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company&#146;s common stock concurrently with, or shortly after, the pricing of the notes. These activities could also increase (or reduce the size of
any decrease in) the market price per share of the Company&#146;s common stock or the notes at that time. In addition, the counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various
derivatives with respect to the Company&#146;s common stock and/or by purchasing or selling shares of the Company&#146;s common stock or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and from
time to time prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so during any observation period for the notes or following any termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase or early conversion of
the notes). </P>
