Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 17, 2015, Lennar Corporation (the “Company”) amended the credit agreement governing its unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to reduce the rate of interest on $1.18 billion of the Credit Facility from the current LIBOR plus 2.00% to LIBOR plus 1.75%, increase the maximum potential borrowings from $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion and extend the maturity of $1.18 billion of the Credit Facility from June 2018 to June 2019. The $1.6 billion includes a $263 million accordion feature, subject to additional commitments.

The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) is among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as swingline lender, issuing lender, and administrative agent and the several lenders from time to time parties thereto.

The Credit Facility consists of a revolving loan under which amounts may be borrowed, repaid and redrawn. The proceeds available under the Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Guarantee Agreement (the “Guarantee Agreement”), dated as of April 17, 2015, among the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, except specified subsidiaries, which was expanded to exclude subsidiaries that (1) engage in the development, investment and management of commercial or mixed use properties, (2) engage in the development, investment and management of multi-family rental properties, and (3) engage in the installation, development, ownership, servicing, sale or lease of solar power systems or sale of solar power.

The descriptions of the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full and complete terms contained in the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement, respectively.

The Company and certain of its affiliates from time to time enter into commercial financial arrangements with almost all the lenders under the Credit Facility and/or their respective affiliates, and affiliates of each of the lenders provide financial, advisory, investment banking and other services to the Company and its affiliates. In addition, affiliates of certain of the lenders serve as underwriters of Company’s issuances of senior notes.
