Previous wording

In addition, historically, California has been subject to natural disasters, including earthquakes, droughts, floods, wildfires and severe weather, and coastal locations may be particularly susceptible to climate stress events or adverse localized effects of climate change, such as sea-level rise and increased storm frequency or intensity. We therefore have greater exposure to the risks of natural disasters, which can lead to power shortages, shortages of labor and materials, increased costs, and delays in development. If our insurance does not fully cover losses resulting from these events, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. The occurrence of natural disasters may also negatively impact the availability of homeowners insurance and the demand for new homes in affected areas. For example, the wildfires that have occurred in recent years in California, along with the increasing risk of future wildfires, have resulted in increased homeowners’ insurance costs and the unavailability of private homeowners’ insurance in certain high-risk areas. We expect these issues may be exacerbated by the recent wildfires in Southern California. Additionally, if drought conditions occur within California, state and local authorities could enact restrictions or moratoriums on building permits and access to utilities, such as water and sewer taps, which could delay or prevent our construction activities, as well as the construction of homes and commercial buildings, even when we have obtained water rights for our communities.

We are highly dependent on our relationships with homebuilders to purchase lots at our residential communities. Our business will be adversely affected if homebuilders do not view our residential communities as desirable locations for homebuilding operations. Also, some homebuilders may be unwilling or unable to close on previously committed land parcel purchases due to factors outside of our control. As a result, we may sell fewer land parcels and may have lower revenues from sales, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Current wording

We are highly dependent on our relationships with homebuilders to purchase lots at our residential communities and to use the Hearthstone Venture for their land banking needs. Our business will be adversely affected if homebuilders do not view our residential communities as desirable locations for homebuilding operations or do not use the Hearthstone Venture for land banking services. Also, some homebuilders may be unwilling or unable to either close on previously committed land parcel purchases or exercise their land purchase options with Hearthstone Venture-managed funds due to factors outside of our control. As a result, we may sell fewer land parcels or the Hearthstone Venture-managed funds may acquire fewer residential projects, and we may have lower revenues from sales and Hearthstone Venture-generated management fees, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Previous wording

Inflation can adversely affect us by increasing costs of materials and labor. In addition, inflation is often accompanied by higher interest rates, which could have a negative impact on demand for homes and the cost of debt financing. In a highly inflationary environment, depending on industry and other economic conditions, we may be unable to raise prices enough to keep up with the rate of inflation, which would reduce our profit margins. While inflation has moderated somewhat over the last year, interest rates and mortgage rates remain elevated relative to recent rate levels, which can decrease demand by homebuyers for new homes and soften demand by our guest builders for home sites.

Our growth strategy involves new potential joint ventures, acquisitions, investments and other transactions. These transactions will take time to execute and may create additional costs, expose us to additional legal and compliance risks, cause disruption to our current business and impact our operating results. Our ability to effectively pursue and manage anticipated ventures, acquisitions and investments may require significant capital and other expenditures, as well as allocation of valuable management resources, which may negatively impact our ongoing business. Our future financial performance and ability to execute on our growth strategies will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future ventures, acquisitions or investments. There are no guarantees that we will be able to do so in an effective or timely manner, or at all.

Current wording

Our growth strategy involves new potential joint ventures, acquisitions, investments and other transactions. For example, we acquired the Hearthstone Venture in July 2025, and we are currently integrating its operations into our business. These and other transactions will take time to execute and may create additional costs, expose us to additional legal and compliance risks, cause disruption to our current business and impact our operating results. Our ability to effectively pursue and manage anticipated ventures, acquisitions and investments may require significant capital and other expenditures, as well as allocation of valuable management resources, which may negatively impact our ongoing business. Acquisitions may result in additional valuation risks, including the risk of impairing goodwill. We recorded goodwill in connection with our acquisition of the assets and operations of the Hearthstone Venture in 2025. We assess goodwill for impairment each year, and more frequently if circumstances suggest an impairment may have occurred. If we are unable to successfully integrate an acquisition or there is a decline in the expectation of future performance, we may be required to recognize an impairment charge on our existing goodwill or goodwill acquired in a future acquisition. Our future financial performance and ability to execute on our growth strategies will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively integrate and manage the Hearthstone Venture and any future ventures, acquisitions or investments. There are no guarantees that we will be able to do so in an effective or timely manner, or at all.

Previous wording

Our communities are subject to numerous local, state, and federal laws and other statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations concerning zoning, development, building design, construction and similar matters that impose restrictive zoning and density requirements in order to limit the number of homes or commercial square feet that can eventually be built within the boundaries of a particular area, as well as governmental taxes, fees and levies on the acquisition and development of land parcels. These regulations often provide broad discretion to the administering governmental authorities as to the conditions for our projects being approved, if approved at all. Further, if the terms and conditions of our existing development agreements with the Cities of Irvine and San Francisco are not complied with, existing entitlements under those agreements could be lost, including (in the case of San Francisco) the right to acquire certain portions of the land on which development activity is expected. New housing and commercial developments are often subject to determinations by the administering governmental authorities as to the adequacy of water and sewage facilities, roads and other local services, and may also be subject to various assessments for schools, parks, streets, affordable housing and other public improvements. As a result, the development of properties may be subject to periodic delays in certain areas due to the conditions imposed by the administering governmental authorities. Due to building moratoriums, zoning changes or “slow-growth” or “no-growth” initiatives that could be implemented in the future in the areas in which our properties are located, our communities may also be subject to periodic delays, or we could be precluded entirely from developing in certain communities or otherwise restricted in our business activities. Such moratoriums or zoning changes can occur either prior or subsequent to commencement of our development operations, without notice or recourse. Local and state governments also have broad discretion regarding the imposition of development fees for projects in their jurisdictions. Projects for which we have received land use and development entitlements or approvals may still require a variety of other governmental approvals and permits during the development process and can also be impacted adversely by unforeseen health, safety, and welfare issues, which can further delay these projects or prevent their development. As a result, revenue from land sales or leasing of retail or other commercial space may be adversely affected, or costs may increase, which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We may from time to time be subject to various claims and routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Among other things, we are, and are likely to continue to be, affected by litigation against governmental agencies related to environmental and similar approvals that we receive or seek to obtain or relating to historical contamination at our properties that have had prior industrial uses, such as The San Francisco Shipyard. For additional information on recent litigation relating to our properties, see “Item 3. Legal Proceedings.”

Previous wording

Litigation and other claims may result in potentially significant defense costs, settlements, fines or judgments against us, some of which may not be covered by insurance. Payment of any such costs, settlements, fines or judgments that are not insured or that exceed our insurance limits could have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage and adversely affect our results of operations, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors. Such litigation could adversely affect the length of time and the cost required to obtain the necessary governmental approvals. In addition, adverse decisions or publicity arising from any litigation could increase the cost and length of time to obtain ultimate approval of a project, could require us to abandon all or portions of a project and could adversely affect the design, scope, plans and profitability of a project, any of which could negatively affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We are a holding company and our only investment is our interest in the operating company. The operating company conducts all of our operations and owns all of our assets. As a result, our cash flow depends upon the cash flow of the operating company and its ability to provide funds to us in the form of distributions, loans or otherwise. The distributions that we receive from the operating company are based on our ownership interest in it, which was 62.6%, as of December 31, 2024. The operating company is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as such, is generally not subject to U.S. federal income tax. Instead, taxable income is allocated to the operating company’s partners, including us. Accordingly, we incur income taxes on our proportionate share of any net taxable income of the operating company. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement for the operating company, the operating company is obligated to make tax distributions to its partners, including us, subject to the restrictions described below. These tax distributions are generally made on a pro-rata basis. In addition to tax expenses, we also incur expenses related to our operations, including expenses under the tax receivable agreement (“TRA”), which we expect could be significant.

The ability of the operating company to make distributions in an amount sufficient to allow us to pay our taxes and operating expenses, including any payments under the TRA, is subject to the obligations of the operating company and its subsidiaries to their respective creditors. In addition, future financing arrangements may contain negative covenants limiting the ability of the operating company to make distributions to us. Furthermore, the ability of the operating company’s subsidiaries and the Great Park Venture to pay distributions to the operating company may be limited by their obligations to their respective creditors and other investors. Similarly, we may be limited in our ability to move capital among the operating company and its subsidiaries as a result of future financing arrangements and obligations to creditors.

As of December 31, 2024, Lennar owned Class A common shares and Class B common shares representing approximately 39% of our outstanding voting interests. One of our directors is the Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Lennar. Lennar is one of the nation’s largest homebuilders and has in the past purchased properties from us. In the future, we expect that we will sell additional properties to Lennar. Transactions between Lennar and us must be approved by our conflicts committee. Our conflicts committee also reviews transactions between the Great Park Venture and Lennar, which are ultimately subject to approval by a majority of the members of the Great Park Venture (excluding us). Nonetheless, Lennar’s relationship with us could give it an advantage in bidding for properties that we own.

Due to the various factors that will affect the amount and timing of the tax benefits we will receive, it is not possible to determine the exact amount of payments that will be made under the TRA. If the TRA had been terminated on December 31, 2024, we estimate that the termination payment would have been approximately $110.6 million, assuming no material changes to the relevant tax law, that the aggregate value of our properties is equal to the value implied by such per share price and that SOFR is 4.24%. However, this is merely an estimate, and the actual payments made under the TRA in the event that it is terminated or otherwise could be significantly greater.

The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. We rely on information technology systems to conduct important operational activities and to maintain our business and employee records and financial data. Disruption of those systems could adversely impact our ability to conduct development activities and to otherwise operate our business. Accordingly, if such an attack or act of terrorism were to occur, our operations and financial results could be adversely affected.

From time to time, the global credit and financial markets have experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. There can be no assurance that future deterioration in credit and financial markets and confidence in economic conditions will not occur. Our business strategy and performance may be adversely affected by any such economic downturn, volatile business environment or continued unpredictable and unstable market conditions. The financial markets and the global economy may also be adversely affected by the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical events. Sanctions or tariffs imposed by the United States and other countries in response to such conflicts or events may also adversely impact the financial markets and the global economy, and any economic countermeasures by the affected countries or others could exacerbate market and economic instability. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price.

For example, on February 20, 2026, the United States Supreme Court issued a ruling striking down certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. Following the Supreme Court’s decision, President Trump stated that he intends to use other authorities to invoke other laws to collect tariffs and announced new tariffs on imports from all countries. There remains substantial uncertainty regarding the duration of existing and newly announced tariffs, potential changes or pauses to such tariffs, tariff levels, and whether further additional tariffs or other retaliatory actions may be imposed, modified, or suspended. If the current equity and credit markets deteriorate, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult, more costly and more dilutive. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price.
