<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 10pt">On August&nbsp;13, 2010, KB Home (the &#147;Company&#148;) consummated an exchange offer (the &#147;Exchange
Offer&#148;) pursuant
to which eligible employees of the Company had the opportunity to
exchange their outstanding cash-settled stock
appreciation rights granted on October&nbsp;2, 2008 and
January&nbsp;22, 2009 (the &#147;SARs&#148;) for non-qualified options
to
purchase shares of KB Home common stock (the &#147;Options&#148;)
granted under the Company&#146;s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. Each
Option granted in exchange for a SAR has an exercise price equal to the SAR&#146;s exercise price (i.e., $19.90 or $11.25
per share) and the same number of underlying shares, vesting schedule
and expiration date as each such SAR. The Exchange Offer did not
include a re-pricing or any other changes impacting the value to the
employees. The
Company conducted the Exchange Offer in an effort to reduce the
overall degree of variability in the expense recorded for employee equity-based compensation by replacing the SARs, which require variable accounting treatment,
with the Options, which do not.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 10pt">Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, 19 eligible employees returned to the Company a total of 1,116,030 SARs, and those
SARs were cancelled on August&nbsp;13, 2010 in exchange for corresponding grants of Options to those employees to purchase
an aggregate of 1,073,737 shares of KB&nbsp;Home common stock at $19.90 per share and one grant of Options to purchase
42,293 shares of KB&nbsp;Home common stock at $11.25 per share. Approximately 90% of the SARs eligible for exchange were
actually exchanged and canceled in the Exchange Offer, with the
balance of such SARs being held by departing employees.



<P align="left" style="margin-left:4%; font-size: 10pt">The exchange of the SARs for the Options was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
pursuant to Section&nbsp;3(a)(9) thereof. Each employee eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer constituted an
existing security holder. No commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for
soliciting such exchange.

granted to the named executive officers identified below in exchange for an equal number of their SARs. Each Option
granted to the named executive officers identified below will expire on October&nbsp;2, 2018 and will continue to vest in
