and commenced homebuilding activities in 1976. Since that time, we have sold and delivered over 96,000 homes. We design, market, construct and sell single-family homes and attached townhomes to first-time, move-up, empty nester and luxury buyers
under the M/I Homes brand (M/I Homes and Showcase Collection (exclusively by M/I)) and, following our acquisition of a privately-held homebuilder in the Minneapolis/St. Paul market in December 2015, we also currently operate under the name Hans
Hagen Homes in that market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our homes are sold in the following geographic markets:&nbsp;Columbus and Cincinnati, Ohio; Indianapolis,
Indiana; Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; Tampa, Orlando and Sarasota, Florida; Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio, Texas; Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina; and the Virginia and Maryland suburbs of Washington,
D.C. We support our homebuilding operations by offering mortgage banking services to our homebuyers&nbsp;through our 100%-owned subsidiary, M/I Financial, LLC (&#147;M/I Financial&#148;), and title services through subsidiaries that are either 100%
or majority owned by us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our financial reporting segments consist of: Midwest homebuilding; Southern homebuilding; Mid-Atlantic

revenue primarily from originating and selling mortgages and collecting fees for title insurance and closing services. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our principal

of (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes, loss (income) of unconsolidated joint ventures, fixed charges and interest amortized to cost of sales, excluding capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest incurred,
amortization of debt costs and that portion of operating lease rental expense (33%)&nbsp;deemed to be representative of interest.&nbsp;The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is determined by dividing earnings
by combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends.&nbsp;Preferred stock dividends represent dividends on our outstanding 9.75% Series A Preferred Shares multiplied by the ratio which pre-tax income from continuing operations bears to income
from continuing operations. </P>

that are deposited with or on behalf of a depositary. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. We anticipate that the following provisions generally will apply to such depositary
arrangement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the global notes will be deposited with the indenture
trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company (&#147;DTC&#148;) and will be registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. DTC will maintain the global notes through its book-entry facilities. Purchases and sales of ownership interests in the
debt securities will be accomplished by entries on the books of direct and indirect participants in DTC&#146;s system. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms of
the indentures, we and the indenture trustee may treat the persons in whose names any notes, including the global notes, are registered as the owners of such notes for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Therefore, so long
as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the global notes, DTC or its nominee will be considered the sole holder of outstanding notes under the indentures. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A global note may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in
the global note may be transferred or exchanged for definitive securities in accordance with the rules and procedures of DTC. In addition, a global note may be exchangeable for notes in definitive form if DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or
unable to continue as a depositary and we do not appoint a successor within 90 days, or if we, at our option, notify the indenture trustee in writing that we elect to cause the issuance of notes in definitive form under the applicable indenture. In
each instance, upon surrender by DTC or its nominee of the global note, notes in definitive form will be issued to each person that DTC or its nominee identifies as being the beneficial owner of the related notes. </P>

(ii)&nbsp;will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any of those debt securities in definitive form; and (iii)&nbsp;will not be considered the owners or holders of those debt securities under the applicable indenture. </P>

nominee as the registered owner of the global note representing those debt securities. We expect that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the global note representing those debt
securities, will immediately credit participants&#146; accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global note for those debt securities as shown on the records of DTC or
its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global note held through those participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is currently the case with
securities held for the accounts of customers in &#147;street name.&#148; These payments will be the responsibility of the participants. Neither we nor the indenture trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records

Following a &#147;change of control event,&#148; as defined in our Articles, dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, when, as and if declared by us, will increase to an annual rate of 10.75% of the $25,000 liquidation preference per share.
Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are not cumulative and, accordingly, if for any reason we do not declare a dividend on the Series A Preferred Shares for a quarterly dividend period, holders of the Series A Preferred Shares have no right
to receive a dividend for that period, and we have no obligation to pay a dividend for that period, whether or not we pay dividends in full or have sufficient funds to pay dividends in the future. The Series A Preferred Shares rank senior to our
common shares with respect to the payment of dividends. As a result, unless dividends have been declared and paid or set apart on the Series A Preferred Shares for the then-current quarterly dividend period, no dividends may be declared or paid or
set apart for payment on our common shares for that period, other than dividends or distributions paid in our common shares, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase our common shares or any of our other equity ranking junior to
the Series A Preferred Shares as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up. We may, in our discretion, choose to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares without paying any

to preserve the tax treatment of our net operating losses and built-in losses (the &#147;NOL Protective Amendment&#148;). The transfer restrictions imposed by the NOL Protective Amendment generally restrict (unless otherwise approved by our board of
directors) any direct or indirect transfer of our common shares if the effect would be to: (i)&nbsp;increase the direct or indirect ownership of our common shares by any person or group of persons from less than 5% to 5% or more of our common
shares; or (ii)&nbsp;increase the percentage of our common shares owned directly or indirectly by a person or group of persons owning or deemed to own 5% or more of our common shares. The NOL Protective Amendment is intended to reduce the likelihood
of an &#147;ownership change&#148; for purposes of Section&nbsp;382 of the Code that could limit our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards and recognize certain built-in losses and thereby adversely affect us. Although the basis
for the NOL Protective Amendment is to preserve the tax treatment of our net operating losses and built-in losses, the NOL Protective Amendment could be deemed to have an &#147;anti-takeover&#148; effect because, among other things, it restricts the
ability of a person or group of persons to accumulate 5% or more of our common shares, and restricts the ability of a person or group of persons now owning 5% or more of our common shares from acquiring additional common shares, without the approval
of our board of directors. </P>

depositary shares representing the preferred shares so redeemed (provided that we have paid the applicable redemption price for the preferred shares to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends to the date fixed for
redemption).&nbsp;The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the corresponding proportion of the redemption price payable with respect to the preferred shares.&nbsp;If fewer than all the outstanding depositary shares are to be
redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional depositary shares) or as otherwise determined by us. </P>

the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover short positions.&nbsp;These activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top">The Company records interest accrued on certain tax positions in income tax (benefit) provision. Interest included in &#147;fixed charges&#148; is only interest on third party indebtedness, and interest expense accrued
on uncertain tax positions is excluded from the calculation of &#147;earnings&#148;. </TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is determined
by dividing earnings by fixed charges. Earnings consist of (loss) income from continuing operations before income taxes, loss (income) of unconsolidated joint ventures, fixed charges, interest amortized to cost of sales, excluding capitalized
interest. Fixed charges consist of interest incurred, amortization of debt costs and that portion of operating lease rental expense (33%) deemed to be representative of interest. The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock
dividends is determined by dividing earnings by combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends. Preferred stock dividends represent preferred stock dividends multiplied by the ratio which pre-tax income from continuing operations bears to
income from continuing operations. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
