Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e) On January 21, 2010, the Management Development and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of KB Home (the “Company”) determined the amount of incentive compensation payable to each of the Company’s executive officers under the Company’s fiscal year 2009 annual incentive program for executive officers. Based on the Company’s financial performance in fiscal year 2009, each of the executive officers became eligible under the program to receive the maximum possible award. However, in light of the challenging housing market, the Committee exercised its authority under the program to significantly reduce the amount of each of the incentive compensation awards. The final amounts determined for the Company’s named executive officers are set forth below:

Glen Barnard		$	300,000
William Hollinger		$	390,000
Kelly Masuda		$	250,000
Jeffrey Mezger		$	2,750,000
Wendy Shiba		$	411,300

Also on January 21, 2010, the Committee granted to Glen Barnard stock options to purchase 90,000 shares of Company common stock under the Company’s 2001 Stock Incentive Plan at an exercise price of $14.96 per share. The terms of the award are consistent with those of other awards granted under the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan in the past (the form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.31 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2006), except that this award to Mr. Barnard provides for full vesting on the second anniversary of the grant date.
