Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Exchange Agreements. Since August 3, 2015 (the last time Lennar Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Form 8-K, Item 3.02), the Company entered into privately negotiated agreements with holders of some of the 2.75% convertible senior notes (“2.75% Notes”) to exchange $43.3 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Notes for $43.6 million in cash, which is comprised of the face value plus accrued interest on those 2.75% Notes, and approximately 1.1 million shares of Class A common stock, which shares had a value equal to the amount by which the value of the shares that would be issuable upon conversion exceeds their face amount. No commissions or other remuneration was paid or given for soliciting the redemptions. Prior to August 3, 2015, the Company had exchanged $121.6 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Notes for $121.9 million in cash and 2.9 million shares of Class A common stock. As a result, as of the date hereof, the Company has paid and delivered approximately $165.5 million in cash and approximately 4.0 million shares of Class A common stock on exchange of $164.9 million aggregate principal amount of the 2.75% Notes.

Conversion Requests. In addition, as a result of conversion requests the Company has received since August 3, 2015 pursuant to the 2.75% Notes Indenture relating to $96.2 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Notes, the Company will pay and deliver approximately $96.2 million in cash, representing the face amount of the notes, and a number of shares of Class A common stock, which shares will have a value equal to the amount by which the value of the shares that are issuable upon conversion exceeds their face amount. The shares will be valued based upon the volume weighted average price of our Class A common stock during each of the 20 consecutive trading days beginning on the second trading day after the day on which the 2.75% Notes are properly surrendered for conversion. Prior to August 3, 2015, the Company paid approximately $47.2 million in cash and issued 1.2 million shares of Class A common stock upon conversion of $47.2 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Notes.

The 2.75% Notes were originally issued on November 10, 2010 and are currently convertible, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the 2.75% Notes, into cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of both, at the Company’s election. Holders may convert the 2.75% Notes at the conversion rate of 45.1794 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $22.13 per share of Class A common stock. The Company issued the Class A common stock on exchange or conversion of the 2.75% Notes in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, contained in Section 3(a)(9) of that Act.
