The indentures for our 2027 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2035 Notes contain covenants that place limits on secured debt and sale and leaseback transactions. We were in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2025. Obligations to pay principal and interest on the senior and convertible senior notes are guaranteed by substantially all of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (each a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), each of which is directly or indirectly 100% owned by Meritage Homes. Such guarantees are full and unconditional, and joint and several. In the event of a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the equity interests of any Guarantor then held by Meritage and its subsidiaries, then that Guarantor may be released and relieved of any obligations under its note guarantee. There are no significant restrictions on our ability or the ability of any Guarantor to obtain funds from their respective subsidiaries, as applicable, by dividend or loan. We do not provide separate financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries because Meritage Homes (the parent company) has no independent assets or operations and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Subsidiaries of Meritage Homes Corporation that are non-guarantor subsidiaries are, individually and in the aggregate, minor, and accordingly, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Meritage Homes Corporation and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are not materially different than the corresponding amounts presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Meritage Homes. In March 2025, we completed an offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.650% 2035 Notes. The 2035 Notes were issued at a discount of 99.439% of the principal amount and the net proceeds are intended to be used for general corporate purposes. 2028 Convertible Notes In May 2024, we issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 1.750% 2028 Convertible Notes. The 2028 Convertible Notes were issued at par and will mature on May 15, 2028, unless converted earlier in accordance with their terms prior to such date. We used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to pay the cost of entering into the Capped Calls, as defined and described below, and to redeem all $250.0 million aggregate principal then outstanding of our 6.00% Senior Notes due 2025 for which we incurred $0.6 million in early debt extinguishment charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflected as Loss on early extinguishment of debt in the accompanying unaudited consolidated income statements. The 2028 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 8.6096 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2028 Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $116.15 per share and is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. In addition, we must provide additional shares upon conversion if there is a "Make-Whole Fundamental Change". The Company is required to satisfy its conversion obligations by paying cash up to the principal amount of notes and settle any additional value in cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. Prior to February 15, 2028, the holders of the 2028 Convertible Notes may convert their notes only upon satisfaction of certain circumstances. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the circumstances allowing holders of the 2028 Convertible Notes to convert were not met. On or after February 15, 2028, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Notes, holders may convert all or any portion of their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. For additional details related to our 2028 Convertible Notes and Capped Calls, see Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Capped Call Transactions Concurrent with the offering of the 2028 Convertible Notes, we used a portion of the net proceeds to enter into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the "Capped Calls”) which require the Capped Calls counterparties (the "Counterparties") to provide shares of our common stock to converting debt holders up to a cap price. The Capped Calls each have an initial strike price of approximately $116.15 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2028 Convertible Notes. The Capped Calls have initial cap prices of $175.32 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Calls will reduce our obligation to settle, in shares or in cash, conversions when our stock price is between $116.15 and $175.32. The Capped Calls are separate transactions entered into by the Company with each of the Counterparties, are not part of the terms of the 2028 Convertible Notes and do not change the note holders’ rights under the 2028 Convertible Notes or the indenture governing the 2028 Convertible Notes. Holders of the 2028 Convertible Notes do not have any rights with respect to the Capped Calls. As the Capped Calls are considered indexed to the Company's own stock, they are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of Additional paid-in capital in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets, and are not accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging.
