The factors that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include, among others: demand fluctuations in the housing industry; adverse changes in economic conditions in markets where we conduct our operations and where prospective purchasers of our homes live; increases in cancellations of existing agreements of sale; the competitive environment in which we operate; changes in interest rates or our credit ratings; the availability of capital; uncertainties in the capital and securities markets; the ability of customers to obtain financing for the purchase of homes; the availability and cost of land for future growth; the ability of the participants in various joint ventures to honor their commitments; effects of governmental legislation and regulation; effects of increased taxes or governmental fees; weather conditions; the availability and cost of labor and building and construction materials; the cost of raw materials; the outcome of various product liability claims, litigation and warranty claims; the effect of the loss of key management personnel; changes in tax laws and their interpretation; construction delays; the seasonal nature of our business; and exposure to liabilities as a result of the acquisition of the home building business of Shapell.

statements included in this prospectus and in any other reports or public statements made by us are not guarantees of future performance and may turn out to be inaccurate. This can occur as a result of incorrect assumptions or as a consequence of known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many factors mentioned in this prospectus or in other reports or public statements made by us, such as government regulation and the competitive environment, will be important in determining our future performance. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from those that might be anticipated from our forward-looking statements.

This discussion is provided as permitted by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and all of our forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referenced in this section.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition of residential development properties, the repayment of our outstanding indebtedness, working capital, or for any other purposes as may be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
The following table shows our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods indicated: |
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Twelve months ended October 31, |
| | 2010 | | 2011 | | 2012 | | 2013 | | 2014 |
Ratio of earnings to fixed charges | | (a) | | (a) | | 1.59 | | 2.77 | | 3.82 |
| |
(a) | For the twelve-month periods ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, our earnings were not sufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $63.8 million and $125.2 million, respectively. |
There was no preferred stock outstanding for any of the periods shown above. Accordingly, the ratio earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends was identical to the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
As of October 31, 2014, our authorized capital stock consisted of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, and 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share. As of October 31, 2014, we had 175,046,150 shares of common stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Subject to the rights and preferences of any holders of our preferred stock, of which there were none as of October 31, 2014, the holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters that require a vote of the common stockholders. In addition, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as legally may be declared by the Board of Directors and to receive pro rata our net assets available for distribution to such holders upon liquidation. There are no cumulative voting, preemptive, conversion or redemption rights applicable to our common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
On March 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Certificate of Amendment to the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment includes an amendment approved by the Company’s stockholders at the 2010 Annual Meeting which restricts certain transfers of the Company’s common stock in order to preserve the tax treatment of the Company’s net operating and unrealized tax losses. The Certificate of Amendment’s transfer restrictions generally restrict any direct or indirect transfer of the Company’s common stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of any Person (as defined in the Certificate of Amendment) from less than 4.95% to 4.95% or more of the Company’s common stock, or increase the ownership percentage of a Person owning or deemed to own 4.95% or more of the Company’s common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of this restriction would be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee.
Except as otherwise specifically provided by law or as set forth in “Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, our Rights Plan and Delaware Law—Classified Board of Directors and Restrictions On Removal” below, all
matters coming before a meeting of stockholders other than election of Directors are determined by a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast.
On June 13, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a Rights Agreement which established a Stockholder Rights Plan. This Stockholder Rights Plan provides for one right to attach to each share of our common stock. Upon the occurrence of certain events, each right entitles the registered holder to purchase from us a unit consisting of one ten-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $100 per unit. Initially the rights attach to all common stock certificates and no separate rights certificates will be distributed. The rights will separate from the common stock and a distribution date will occur upon the earlier of:
| |
• | 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated persons has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock (the “Stock Acquisition Date”); or |
| |
• | 10 business days following the commencement of a tender offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock. |
The rights are not exercisable until the distribution date and will expire at the close of business on July 11, 2017. In the event any non-exempt person or group acquires 15% or more of the then outstanding shares of our common stock, unless the acquisition is made pursuant to a tender offer for all outstanding shares at a price determined by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, excluding any members of the Board of Directors who are also officers of the Company, to be fair and otherwise in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, each holder of a right will have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right; except that the rights held by a non-exempt person or group become null and void upon that person or group acquiring 15% or more of the then outstanding shares of our common stock. At any time until 10 days following the Stock Acquisition Date, we may redeem the rights at a price of $.001 per right. The Rights Agreement establishing the Stockholder Rights Plan was filed with the SEC on June18, 2007 as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K. For additional information, holders of the common stock of Toll Brothers, Inc. should read the Rights Agreement, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Our common stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol “TOL.”
The registrar and transfer agent for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.
Preferred Stock
General. We may issue, from time to time, shares of one or more series of preferred stock. Summarized below are the general terms and provisions that will apply to any preferred stock that may be offered, except as otherwise described by the prospectus supplement. When we offer to sell a particular series of preferred stock, a prospectus supplement will update our description of our preferred stock, as applicable, to reflect the issuance of any then issued and outstanding series and describe the specific terms of the series of preferred stock being offered. If any of the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus apply to the particular series of preferred stock, the prospectus supplement will so indicate and will describe any alternative provisions that are applicable. Each series of preferred stock will be issued under a certificate of designations relating to that series, and will also be subject to our Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time (“Certificate of Incorporation”).
The following summary of various provisions of the preferred stock is not complete. You should read our Certificate of Incorporation and each certificate of designations relating to a specific series of preferred stock for additional information. Each certificate of designations relating to a specific series of preferred stock will be filed as an amendment to the registration statement or as an exhibit to a document incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part at the time of issuance of the particular series of preferred stock.
The Board of Directors is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, and to fix for each series voting powers and the preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, that are permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine the following terms for each series of preferred stock, which will be described in the prospectus supplement:
| |
• | the number of shares and their designation and title; |
| |
• | the dividend rate or the method of calculating the dividend rate, if applicable; |
| |
• | the priority as to payment of dividends; |
| |
• | the dividend periods or the method of calculating the dividend periods, if applicable; |
| |
• | the voting rights, if any; |
| |
• | the liquidation preference and the priority as to payment of the liquidation preference upon our liquidation or winding-up; |
| |
• | whether and on what terms the shares will be subject to redemption or repurchase at our option; |
| |
• | whether and on what terms the shares will be convertible into or exchangeable for other debt or equity securities; |
| |
• | whether the shares will be listed on a securities exchange; and |
| |
• | the other rights and privileges and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions relating to the shares. |
Dividends. Holders of a series of preferred stock will be entitled to the dividend rights, if any, described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of that series. The prospectus supplement will identify, as applicable, the dividend rates and the record and payment dates, as well as any other terms of any dividend rights applicable to the series.
Unless otherwise described in the prospectus supplement, each series of preferred stock to which dividend rights apply will rank junior with respect to dividends to any series of preferred stock that may be issued in the future that is expressly senior with respect to dividends to the earlier series of the preferred stock. If at any time we fail to pay accrued dividends on any senior series of preferred stock at the time dividends are payable on a junior series of preferred stock, we may not pay any dividend on the junior series of preferred stock or redeem or otherwise repurchase shares of the junior series of preferred stock until the accumulated but unpaid dividends on the senior series have been paid or set aside for payment in full by us.
Convertibility. No series of preferred stock will be convertible or exchangeable for other securities or property, except, in the case of any series, to the extent conversion or exchange rights of that series are otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement.
Redemption and Sinking Fund. We will not have the right or obligation to redeem or pay into a sinking fund for the benefit of any series of preferred stock, except, in the case of any series, to the extent such rights or obligations are otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement.
Liquidation Rights. Unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement, in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, holders of each series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive the per share liquidation preference specified in the prospectus supplement for that particular series of preferred stock, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. We will pay these amounts to the holders of each series of the preferred stock and all amounts owing on any preferred stock ranking equally with that series of preferred stock as to distributions. These payments will be made out of our assets available for distribution to stockholders before any distribution is made to holders of common stock or any other shares of our preferred stock ranking junior to the series of preferred stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up.
In the event that there are insufficient funds to pay in full the amounts payable to all equally-ranked classes of our preferred stock, we will allocate the remaining assets equally among all series of equally-ranked preferred stock in proportion to the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement for a series of preferred stock, after we pay the full amount of the liquidation distribution to which they are entitled, the holders of shares of a series of preferred stock will not be entitled to participate in any further distribution of our assets. Our consolidation or merger with another corporation or sale of securities will not be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up for these purposes.
Voting Rights. Holders of a series of preferred stock will not have any voting rights other than any such rights that are described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of that series and any such rights as are otherwise from time to time required by law.
Miscellaneous. When the preferred stock is issued, it will be fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of preferred stock will have no preemptive rights. If we redeem or otherwise reacquire any shares of preferred stock, we will restore the shares to the status of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. These shares will not be a part of any particular series of preferred stock and we may reissue the shares. There are no restrictions on repurchase or redemption of the preferred stock on account of any arrearage on sinking fund installments, except as may be described in the prospectus supplement. Payment of dividends on any series of preferred stock may be restricted by loan agreements, indentures or other agreements entered into by us. The prospectus supplement will describe any material contractual restrictions on dividend payments. The prospectus supplement will also describe any material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock.
No Other Rights. The shares of a series of preferred stock will not have any preferences, voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights except for those described above or in the prospectus supplement, our Certificate of Incorporation or the applicable certificate of designations, or as otherwise required by law.
Transfer Agent and Registrar. The prospectus supplement for each series of preferred stock will identify the transfer agent and registrar.
Anti-Takeover Effects of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Bylaws, our Rights Plan and Delaware Law
Blank Check Preferred Stock. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for 15,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock. See “Description of Capital Stock.” The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable the Board of Directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board of Directors were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of the Company, the Board of Directors could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquiror or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, the Certificate of Incorporation grants our Board of Directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock, may make it more difficult to change the composition of our Board of Directors and may discourage or make difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of us.
Board of Directors and Restrictions On Removal. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for the annual election of the entire Board of Directors each year.
Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that:
| |
• | any vacancy on the Board of Directors or any newly created directorship will be filled by the remaining directors then in office, though they may constitute less than a quorum; and |
| |
• | advance notice of stockholder nominations for the elections of directors must be given in the manner provided by our bylaws. |
We are subject to Section 141(k) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which provides that any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of our shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors.
Our Certificate of Incorporation requires a 66⅔% stockholder vote necessary to alter, amend or repeal certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation (including with respect to certain matters related to our Board of Directors) and all other provisions of our bylaws adopted by the Board of Directors. These provisions may make it more difficult to change the composition of our Board of Directors and may discourage or make difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of us.
Provisions of Rights Plan. As discussed under “Description of Capital Stock—Common Stock,” we have adopted a Rights Agreement that provides stockholders with rights to purchase shares of our Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock under certain circumstances involving a potential change in control. The rights have certain anti-takeover effects, and will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company in certain circumstances. Accordingly, the existence of the rights may deter certain acquirors from making takeover proposals or tender offers. The rights, however, are not intended to prevent a takeover, but rather are designed to enhance the ability of the Board of Directors to negotiate with a potential acquiror on behalf of all of the stockholders.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless (a) prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (b) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer or (c) at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock
that is not owned by the interested stockholder. The application of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may discourage or make difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of us.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law defines the term “business combination” to include: (a) any merger or consolidation involving the corporation or any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries and the interested stockholder or another entity if the merger or consolidation is caused by the interested stockholder; (b) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge or transfer of 10% or more of either the aggregate market value of all of the assets of the corporation determined on a consolidated basis or the aggregate market value of all the outstanding stock of the corporation or any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries involving the interested stockholder; (c) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation or by any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries of any stock of the corporation or that subsidiary to the interested stockholder; (d) subject to certain exceptions, any transaction involving the corporation or any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation or that subsidiary owned by the interested stockholder; or (e) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation or any of its direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries. In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
General
We may issue, together with other securities offered by this prospectus or separately, warrants for the purchase of the following:
Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The terms of each warrant agreement will be discussed in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of warrants. Copies of the form of agreement for each warrant, including the forms of certificates representing the warrants, reflecting the provisions to be included in these agreements for a particular offering will be, in each case, filed with the SEC in an amendment to the registration statement or as an exhibit to a document incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part prior to the date of any prospectus supplement relating to an offering of the particular warrant.
We have summarized below the general terms and provisions that will apply to any warrants that may be offered, except as otherwise described by the prospectus supplement. When we offer to sell warrants, a prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of that series of warrants. If any of the general terms and provisions described in this prospectus do not apply to the particular series of warrants being offered the prospectus supplement will so indicate and will describe any alternative provisions that are applicable. The following summary of various provisions of the warrants, the warrant agreements and the warrant certificates is not complete. You should read all of the provisions of the applicable warrant agreement and warrant certificate, including the definitions contained in those documents of various terms, for additional important information concerning any series of warrants offered by this prospectus.
Common Stock Warrants
General. The prospectus supplement relating to any series of common stock warrants that are offered by this prospectus will describe the specific terms of that series of common stock warrants, any related common stock warrant agreement and the common stock warrant certificate(s) representing the common stock warrants.

Common stock warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new common stock warrant certificates of different denominations. In addition, common stock warrants may be exercised at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement. A holder of a common stock warrant will not have any of the rights of a holder of the common stock which may be purchased by the exercise of the common stock warrant before the common stock is purchased by the exercise of the common stock warrant. Accordingly, before a common stock warrant is exercised, the holder will not be entitled to receive any dividend payments or exercise any voting or other rights associated with the shares of common stock which may be purchased when the common stock warrant is exercised.
Exercise of Common Stock Warrants. Each common stock warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash the number of shares of our common stock at the exercise price that is described or explained in the prospectus supplement. Common stock warrants may be exercised at any time from the time they become exercisable, as described in the prospectus supplement, up to the time on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Afterwards, unexercised common stock warrants will become void.
Common stock warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the prospectus supplement. When we receive payment and the properly completed and duly executed common stock warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward a certificate representing the number of shares of common stock purchased upon exercise of the common stock warrants. If less than all of the common stock warrants represented by the common stock warrant certificate are exercised, we will issue a new common stock warrant certificate for the amount of common stock warrants that remain exercisable.
Preferred Stock Warrants
General. The prospectus supplement relating to any series of preferred stock warrants that are offered by this prospectus will describe the specific terms of that series of preferred stock warrants, any related preferred stock warrant agreement and the preferred stock warrant certificate(s) representing the preferred stock warrants. The prospectus supplement will describe, among other things, the following terms, to the extent they are applicable to that series of preferred stock warrants:
| |
• | the designation and terms of the shares of preferred stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the preferred stock warrants and the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of the preferred stock warrants; |
| |

| |
• | the date, if any, on and after which the preferred stock warrants and any related shares of preferred stock will be separately transferable; |
| |
• | the offering price, if any, of the preferred stock warrants; |
| |
• | the number of shares of preferred stock which may be purchased upon exercise of the preferred stock warrants and the initial price or prices at which the shares may be purchased upon exercise; |

| |
• | a discussion of the material United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the exercise of the preferred stock warrants; |
| |
• | call provisions, if any, of the preferred stock warrants; and |
| |
• | any other material terms of the preferred stock warrants. |
Preferred stock warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new preferred stock warrant certificates of different denominations. In addition, preferred stock warrants may be exercised at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement. A holder of a preferred stock warrant will not have any of the rights of a holder of the preferred stock which may be purchased by the exercise of the preferred stock warrant before the preferred stock is purchased by the exercise of the preferred stock warrant. Accordingly, before a preferred stock warrant is exercised, the holder will not be entitled to receive any dividend payments or exercise any voting or other rights associated with the preferred stock which may be purchased when the preferred stock warrant is exercised.
Exercise of Preferred Stock Warrants. Each preferred stock warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash the number of shares of our preferred stock at the exercise price described or explained in the prospectus supplement. Preferred stock warrants may be exercised at any time from the time they become exercisable, as described in the prospectus supplement, up to the time on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Afterwards, unexercised preferred stock warrants will become void.
Preferred stock warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the prospectus supplement. When we receive payment and the properly completed and duly executed preferred stock warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward a certificate representing the number of shares of preferred stock purchased upon exercise of the preferred stock warrants. If less than all of the preferred stock warrants represented by the preferred stock warrant certificate are exercised, we will issue a new preferred stock warrant certificate for the amount of preferred stock warrants that remain exercisable.
Debt Warrants
General. The prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt warrants that are offered by this prospectus will describe the specific terms of that series of debt warrants, any related debt warrant agreement and the debt warrant certificate(s) representing the debt warrants. The prospectus supplement will describe, among other things, the following terms, to the extent they are applicable to that series of debt warrants:
| |
• | the issuer of the debt securities that may be purchased upon exercise of the debt warrants, the designation, number, stated value and terms of those debt securities, the terms of the related guarantees and the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of the debt warrants; |
| |
• | the designation and terms of any debt securities and related guarantees with which the debt warrants are issued and the number of the debt warrants issued with each debt security; |
| |
• | the date, if any, on and after which the debt warrants and the related debt securities will be separately transferable; |
| |
• | the principal amount of debt securities which may be purchased upon exercise of each debt warrant and the price at which the principal amount of debt securities may be purchased upon exercise of the debt warrant; |
| |
• | the date on which the right to exercise the debt warrants will begin and the date on which the right will expire; |
| |
• | a discussion of the material United States federal income tax considerations relevant to the exercise of the debt warrants; |
| |
• | whether the debt warrants represented by the debt warrant certificates will be issued in registered or bearer form, and, if registered, where they may be transferred and registered; |
| |
• | call provisions, if any, of the debt warrants; and |
| |
• | any other material terms of the debt warrants. |
Debt warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new debt warrant certificates of different denominations. In addition, debt warrants may be exercised at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement. A holder of a debt warrant will not have any of the rights of a holder of the debt securities which may be purchased by the exercise of the debt warrant before the debt securities are purchased by the exercise of the debt warrant. Accordingly, before a debt warrant is exercised, the holder will not be entitled to receive any payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the debt securities which may be purchased by the exercise of that debt warrant.
Exercise of Debt Warrants. Each debt warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash the principal amount of debt securities described in the prospectus supplement at the exercise price described or explained in the prospectus supplement. Debt warrants may be exercised at any time from the time they become exercisable, as described in the prospectus supplement, up to the time on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Afterwards, unexercised debt warrants will become void.
Debt warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the prospectus supplement. When we receive payment and the properly completed and duly executed debt warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the debt securities purchased upon the exercise of the debt warrants. If less than all of the debt warrants represented by the debt warrant certificate are exercised, we will issue a new debt warrant certificate for the amount of debt warrants that remain exercisable.
DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES
Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. and Toll Brothers Finance Corp. may issue senior secured debt securities or senior unsecured debt securities (“debt securities”) from time to time in one or more series. Any series of debt securities offered by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. will be offered together with the guarantees of Toll Brothers, Inc. and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries, as set forth in the prospectus supplement, and such guarantees, unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, will be full and unconditional.
One or more series of the debt securities of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. may be issued under a single indenture. Alternatively, any series of debt securities may be issued under a separate indenture. The terms applicable to each series of debt securities will be stated in the indenture and may be modified by the resolution(s) authorizing that series of debt securities adopted by the Board of Directors, or an officer or committee of officers authorized by the Board of Directors, of both the issuer of the debt securities, Toll Brothers, Inc. and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities under the applicable indenture. The resolution(s) authorizing a series of debt securities are referred to in this section of this prospectus as an “authorizing resolution.” Each indenture under which any debt securities are issued, including the applicable authorizing resolution(s), is referred to in this section of this prospectus as an “indenture,” and collectively with any other indentures, as the “indentures.” Each indenture will be entered into among Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp., as the obligor, Toll Brothers, Inc. and/or any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that are guarantors of the debt securities, as guarantors, and the institution named in the prospectus supplement, as trustee.
The following is a description of certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities we may offer by this prospectus. The name of the issuer and the particular terms of any series of debt securities we offer, including the extent to which the general terms and provisions may apply to that series of debt securities, will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities. Except as otherwise indicated in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement, the following description of indenture terms is applicable to each indenture that Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. may enter into with respect to any series of debt securities we may offer by this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires.
The terms of any series of the debt securities include those stated in the applicable indenture. Holders of each series of the debt securities are referred to the indenture for that series, including the applicable authorizing resolution, for a statement of the terms. The respective forms of indentures for the debt securities of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. and Toll Brothers Finance Corp. are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each indenture may be amended or modified for any series of debt securities by an authorizing resolution which will be described in the prospectus supplement, and the applicable authorizing resolution relating to any series of debt securities offered pursuant to this prospectus will be filed as an exhibit to a report incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The following summary of certain provisions of the debt securities and the indenture is not complete. You should read all of the provisions of the indenture, including the definitions contained in the indenture that are not otherwise defined in this prospectus, and the prospectus supplement. Wherever we refer to particular provisions or defined terms of the indenture, these provisions or defined terms are incorporated in this prospectus by reference.
General
The debt securities, when issued, will be obligations that constitute senior secured debt or senior unsecured debt of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp., as the case may be. Toll Brothers, Inc. and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities will guarantee the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities when due, whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. The guarantees will be full and unconditional unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement. See “Guarantee of Debt Securities.” The total principal amount of debt securities which may be issued under the indenture will not be limited. Debt securities may be issued under the indenture from time to time in one or more series. Unless the prospectus supplement relating to the original offering of a particular series of debt securities indicates otherwise, the issuer of that series of debt securities will have the ability to reopen the previous issue of that series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series pursuant to an authorizing resolution, an officers’ certificate or an indenture supplement. Because neither Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. nor Toll Brothers Finance Corp. has any independent operations or
generates any operating revenues, the funds required to pay the principal, the premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities will come from Toll Brothers, Inc. and its other subsidiaries. Except as otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement, there is no legal or contractual restriction on the ability of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the other subsidiaries of Toll Brothers, Inc. to provide these funds.
If the debt securities of any series issued by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. will be subordinated to any other indebtedness of that issuer, the indebtedness of that issuer to which that series will be subordinated will be referred to in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement as senior indebtedness of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp., as the case may be. The applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement will define that senior indebtedness and describe the terms of the subordination. Unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any series of debt securities issued by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp., or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. which is subordinated by its terms to other indebtedness of that issuer will be subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent described in the indenture under which that series is issued, to the prior payment in full of all senior indebtedness of the issuer, as defined in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement, whether the senior indebtedness is outstanding on the date of the indenture or is created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed after the date of the indenture.
The prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are offered by this prospectus will name the issuer and describe the specific terms of that series of debt securities. The prospectus supplement will describe, among other things, the following terms, to the extent they are applicable to that series of debt securities:
| |
• | their title and, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, the denominations in which they will be issuable; |
| |
• | their price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the respective aggregate principal amount of the debt securities) at which they will be issued; |
| |
• | their total principal amount and, if applicable, the terms on which the principal amount of the series may be increased by a subsequent offering of additional debt securities of the same series; |
| |
• | the interest rate (which may be fixed or variable and which may be zero in the case of certain debt securities issued at an issue price representing a discount from the principal amount payable at maturity), the date or dates from which interest, if any, will accrue and the circumstances, if any, in which the issuer may defer interest payments; |
| |
• | any special provisions for the payment of any additional amounts with respect to the debt securities; |
| |
• | any provisions relating to the seniority or subordination of all or any portion of the indebtedness evidenced by the securities to other indebtedness of the issuer; |
| |
• | the date or dates on which principal and premium, if any, are payable or the method of determining those dates; |
| |
• | the dates and times at which interest, if any, will be payable, the record date for any interest payment and the person to whom interest will be payable if other than the person in whose name the debt security is registered at the close of business on the record date for the interest payment; |
| |
• | the place or places where principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be payable; |
| |
• | the terms applicable to any “original issue discount” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related regulations), including the rate or rates at which the original issue discount will accrue, and any special federal income tax and other considerations; |
| |
• | the right or obligation, if any, of the issuer to redeem or purchase debt securities under any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder of debt securities, or otherwise, the conditions, if any, giving rise to the right or obligation and the period or periods within which, and the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which, debt securities will be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, and any provisions for the marketing of the debt securities; |
| |
• | if the amount of payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, is to be determined by reference to an index, formula or other method, the manner in which these amounts are to be determined and the calculation agent, if any, with respect to the payments; |
| |
• | if other than the principal amount of the debt securities, the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities which will be payable upon declaration or acceleration of the stated maturity of the debt securities pursuant to an “Event of Default,” as defined in the applicable indenture; |
| |
• | whether the debt securities will be issued in registered or bearer form and the terms of these forms; |
| |
• | whether the debt securities will be issued in certificated or book-entry form and, if applicable, the identity of the depositary; |
| |
• | any provision for electronic issuance or issuances in uncertificated form; |
| |
• | any listing of the debt securities on a securities exchange; |
| |
• | any events of default or covenants in addition to or in place of those described in this prospectus; |
| |
• | the terms, if any, on which the debt securities will be convertible into or exchangeable for other debt or equity securities, including without limitation the conversion price, the conversion period and any other provisions in addition to or in place of those included in this prospectus; |
| |
• | the collateral, if any, securing payments with respect to the debt securities and any provisions relating to the collateral; |
| |
• | whether and upon what terms the debt securities may be defeased; and |
| |
• | any other material terms of that series of debt securities. |
Guarantees of Debt Securities
Each guarantor of the debt securities will guarantee, fully and unconditionally unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities as they become due, whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. The terms of any guarantees of any debt securities will be described in an applicable prospectus supplement.
The assets of Toll Brothers, Inc. consist principally of the stock of its subsidiaries. Therefore, the rights of Toll Brothers, Inc. and the rights of its creditors, including the holders of debt securities that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Toll Brothers, Inc., to participate in the assets of any subsidiary other than the issuer of those debt securities upon liquidation, recapitalization or otherwise will be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary’s creditors except to the extent that claims of Toll Brothers, Inc. itself as a creditor of the subsidiary may be recognized. This includes the prior claims of the banks that are lenders under First Huntingdon Finance Corp.’s revolving credit facility, under which Toll Brothers, Inc. and certain of its other subsidiaries, including Toll Corp. and Toll Brothers Finance Corp., have guaranteed or will guarantee the obligations owing to the banks under the credit facility.
Conversion of Debt Securities
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be convertible into our common stock or into any other securities. The particular terms and conditions of the conversion rights of any series of convertible debt securities other than those described below will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, and subject, if applicable, to prior redemption at the option of the issuer of the debt securities, the holders of any series of convertible debt securities will be entitled to convert the principal amount or a portion of the principal amount which is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 at any time before the date specified in the prospectus supplement for the series of debt securities into shares of our common stock at the conversion price stated in the prospectus supplement, subject to adjustment as described below.
In the case of any debt security or portion of debt security called for redemption, conversion rights will expire at the close of business on the second business day preceding the redemption date.
We will not be required to issue fractional shares of common stock upon conversion of the debt securities of a convertible series. Instead, we will pay a cash adjustment for any fractional interest in a share of its common stock.
Convertible debt securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on a “Record Date,” as defined in the applicable indenture, or the next preceding “Business Day,” as defined in the applicable indenture, if the Record Date is not a Business Day, preceding any “Interest Payment Date,” as defined in the applicable indenture, to the opening of business on that Interest Payment Date, other than convertible debt securities or portions of convertible debt securities called
for redemption during the period, will be accompanied by payment in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to us of an amount equal to the interest payable on the Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the convertible debt securities then being converted. Except as described in the preceding sentence, no payment or adjustment will be made on conversion of convertible debt securities on account of interest accrued on the debt securities surrendered for conversion or for dividends on the common stock delivered on conversion. If an issuer of convertible debt securities defaults on the payment of interest for which payment is made upon the surrender of those convertible debt securities for conversion, the amount so paid will be returned to the party who made the payment.
The conversion price of the debt securities of a convertible series will be subject to adjustment in certain events, including:
| |
• | the issuance of our common stock as a dividend or distribution on our common stock; |
| |
• | the subdivision, combination or reclassification of our outstanding common stock; |
| |
• | the issuance of rights or warrants, expiring within 45 days after the record date for issuance, to the holders of our common stock generally entitling them to acquire shares of our common stock at less than the common stock’s then “Current Market Price” as defined in the indenture; |
| |
• | the distribution to holders of our common stock, generally, of evidences of indebtedness or our assets, excluding cash dividends paid from retained earnings and dividends or distributions payable in stock for which adjustment is otherwise made; or |
| |
• | the distribution to the holders of our common stock, generally, of rights or warrants to subscribe for our securities, other than those for which adjustment is otherwise made. |
There will be no upward adjustment in the conversion price except in the event of a reverse stock split. We are not required to make any adjustment in the conversion price of less than 1%, but the adjustment will be carried forward and taken into account in the computation of any subsequent adjustment.
A conversion price adjustment or the failure to make a conversion price adjustment may, under various circumstances, be deemed to be a distribution that could be taxable as a dividend under the Internal Revenue Code to holders of debt securities or to holders of common stock.
There will be no adjustments to the conversion price of the debt securities of any convertible series as discussed above in the following situations:
| |
• | any consolidation or merger to which we are a party other than a merger or consolidation in which we are the continuing corporation; |
| |
• | any sale or conveyance to another corporation of our property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or |
| |
• | any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation, including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into us. |
However, the holder of each convertible debt security outstanding at that time will have the right to convert the debt security into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after the transaction if the debt security was converted immediately before the effective date of the transaction.
Form, Exchange, Registration, Conversion, Transfer and Payment
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement:
| |
• | each series of debt securities will be issued in registered form only, without coupons; |
| |
• | payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each series of the debt securities will be payable at the office or agency of the issuer of that series maintained for this purpose; and |
| |
• | the exchange, conversion and transfer of each series of debt securities may be registered at the office or agency of the issuer of that series maintained for this purpose and at any other office or agency maintained for this purpose. |
Subject to various exceptions described in the indenture, any transfer or exchange shall be without charge, except that the issuer of each series of debt securities may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed or expenses incurred in connection with the transfer or exchange of such series of debt securities.
All payments made by the issuer of a series of debt securities to the trustee and paying agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities of that series which remain unclaimed for two years after the principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable may be repaid to the issuer. Afterwards, the holder of the debt security may look only to the issuer or, if applicable, Toll Brothers, Inc., and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities for payment, unless applicable abandoned property law designates another person.
Registered Global Securities
The registered debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more registered global debt securities. A registered global security is a security, typically held by a depositary, that represents the beneficial interests of a number of purchasers of the security. Any registered global debt securities will be deposited with and registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee identified in the prospectus supplement. In this case, one or more registered global securities will be issued, each in a denomination equal to the portion of the total principal amount of outstanding registered debt securities of the series to be represented by the registered global security.
Unless and until a registered global security is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, it may not be transferred except as a whole:
| |
• | by the depositary for the registered global security to a nominee for the depositary; |
| |
• | by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or to another nominee of the depositary; or |
| |
• | by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or a nominee of a successor depositary. |
The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement involving any portion of a series of debt securities to be represented by a registered global security. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements for debt securities:
| |
• | ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the depositary for the registered global security (each a “participant” and, collectively, the “participants”) or persons holding interests through the participants; |
| |
• | after the issuer of a series of debt securities issues the registered global security for the series, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal amounts of the debt securities of that series represented by the registered global security beneficially owned by the participants; |
| |
• | the underwriters, agents or dealers participating in the distribution of the debt securities will designate the accounts to be credited; |
| |
• | only a participant or a person that may hold an interest through a participant may be the beneficial owner of a registered global security; and |
| |
• | ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary for the registered global security for interests of the participants, and on the records of the participants for interests of persons holding through the participants. |
The laws of some states may require that specified purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may limit the ability of those persons to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.
So long as the depositary for a registered global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of the registered global security, the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as stated below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security:
| |
• | will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in their names; |
| |
• | will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt securities in definitive form; and |
| |
• | will not be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities under the indenture. |
Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for the registered global security and, if the person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interests, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture applicable to the registered global security.
We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders, or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take the action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to give or take the action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of the issuer of a series of debt securities, Toll Brothers, Inc., any of Toll Brothers, Inc.’s directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities, the trustee under the indenture nor any agent of any of them will be responsible or liable for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security for the series or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.
We expect that the depositary for any debt securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest in respect of the registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the registered global security as shown on the depositary’s records. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through the participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of the participants.
If the depositary for any debt securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, we will appoint an eligible successor depositary. If we fail to appoint an eligible successor depositary within 90 days, the debt securities will be issued in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security. In addition, we may, at any time and in our sole discretion, determine not to have any debt securities of a series represented by one or more registered global securities. In that event, debt securities of that series will be issued in definitive form in exchange for each registered global security representing the debt securities. Any debt securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in such name or names as the depositary instructs the trustee. We expect that the instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from the participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security.
Events of Default, Notice and Waiver
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, each of the following events will be an “Event of Default” with respect to each series of debt securities issued under the indenture:
| |
• | a “Guarantor” (as defined in the indenture) or the issuer of that series of debt securities fails to pay interest due on any debt securities of that series for 30 days; |
| |
• | a Guarantor or the issuer of that series of debt securities fails to pay the principal of any debt securities of that series when due; |
| |
• | a Guarantor that is a “Significant Subsidiary” (as defined in the indenture), Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of debt securities fails to perform any other agreements contained in the debt securities of that series or in the guarantee relating to that series of debt securities or contained in the indenture for that series of debt securities and applicable to that series for a period of 60 days after the issuer’s receipt of notice of the default from the trustee under the indenture or from the holders of at least 25% in principal of the debt securities of that series; |
| |
• | any default under an instrument evidencing or securing any of the issuer’s indebtedness or the indebtedness of any Guarantor aggregating $10,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount, resulting in the acceleration of such indebtedness, or due to the failure to pay such indebtedness at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise; provided that, subject to certain limitations described in the indenture, the term “indebtedness” does not include for this purpose an |
acceleration of or default on certain “Non-Recourse Indebtedness,” as that term is defined in the indenture and described below;
| |
• | an acceleration of, or a significant modification of the terms of any outstanding debt securities identified in the indenture (each of these series of notes being referred to below as an “Outstanding Series”), occurs, provided that on the date of the occurrence, the outstanding principal amount of at least one Outstanding Series to which the occurrence relates exceeds $5,000,000; |
| |
• | any one of various events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization specified in the indenture occurs with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc., a Significant Subsidiary, or the issuer of that series of debt securities; or |
| |
• | the guarantee of a Guarantor relating to that series of debt securities ceases to be in full force and effect for any reason other than in accordance with its terms. |
“Non-Recourse Indebtedness,” as defined in the indenture, means indebtedness or other obligations secured by a lien on property to the extent that the liability for the indebtedness or other obligations is limited to the security of the property without liability on the part of Toll Brothers, Inc. or any subsidiary (other than the subsidiary which holds title to the property) for any deficiency.
The trustee is required to give notice to the holders of any series of debt securities within 90 days of a default with respect to that series of debt securities under the indenture. However, the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any series of debt securities, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, with respect to that series, if the trustee considers the withholding to be in the interest of the holders.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing for a series of debt securities, other than an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc., any Significant Subsidiary or the issuer of that series of debt securities, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by giving an acceleration notice to the issuer of that series of debt securities and Toll Brothers, Inc., or to the issuer of that series of debt securities, Toll Brothers, Inc. and the Trustee, as applicable, declare the unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately.
If an Event of Default occurs with respect to a series of debt securities as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc., any Significant Subsidiary or the issuer of that series of debt securities, then the unpaid principal amount of all of the debt securities of that series outstanding and any accrued and unpaid interest will automatically become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act by the trustee or any holder of debt securities of that series.
At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind the acceleration and its consequences (except an acceleration due to nonpayment of principal or interest on the debt securities of such series), provided that, among other things, all Events of Default with respect to the particular series have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture.
The holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of a particular series may generally waive a past default with respect to that series and its consequences in accordance with terms and conditions provided in the indenture. However, these holders may not waive a default in the payment of the principal, any premium or any interest on the debt securities.
Toll Brothers, Inc. and any issuer of debt securities offered by this prospectus will each be required to file annually with the trustee under the indenture a certificate, signed by an officer of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer, as applicable, stating whether or not the officer knows of any default under the terms of the indenture and providing a description of any default of which the officer has knowledge.
Redemption
The prospectus supplement relating to a series of redeemable debt securities will describe the rights or obligations of the issuer to redeem those debt securities and the procedure for redemption.
Additional Provisions
Subject to the duty of the trustee to act with the required standard of care during a default, the indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to perform any duty or to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of holders, unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to these provisions for the indemnification of the trustee and various other conditions, the holders of a majority in total principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series.
A holder of debt securities of a series will not have the right to pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the debt securities of that series, unless:
| |
• | the holder gives to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; |
| |
• | the holders of not less than 25% in total principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy; |
| |
• | the holder offers the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense; |
| |
• | the trustee fails to comply with the holder’s request within 60 days after receipt of the written request and offer of indemnity; and |
| |
• | the trustee, during the same 60-day period, has not received from the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with the aforementioned written request of holders. |
However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of the principal of and interest on that debt security on or after the respective due dates expressed in that debt security and to bring suit for the enforcement of any payment.
Covenants
The prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities of any series will describe any special covenants applicable to the issuer of the series or Toll Brothers, Inc. with respect to that series.
Merger or Consolidation
Neither Toll Brothers, Inc., nor any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities, nor the issuer of a series of debt securities offered by this prospectus may consolidate with or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, any other person, unless:
| |
• | the other person is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all the obligations of Toll Brothers, Inc., any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities, or the issuer, as the case may be, under the indenture and either the guarantees or the debt securities, as the case may be; and |
| |
• | immediately after giving effect to the transaction no “Default” or “Event of Default,” as these terms are defined in the indenture, has occurred and is continuing. |
Afterwards, all of the obligations of the predecessor corporation will terminate.
Modification of an Indenture
The respective obligations of Toll Brothers, Inc., any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the debt securities, and the issuer of debt securities of any series offered by this prospectus and the rights of the holders of those debt securities under the indenture generally may be modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of all series under the indenture affected by the modification. However, without the consent of each affected holder of debt securities, no amendment or supplement may, among other things:
| |
• | reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; |
| |
• | reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of interest on the debt securities; |
| |
• | reduce the principal amount of, or premium on, the debt securities; |
| |
• | change the maturity of any debt securities; |
| |
• | change the redemption provisions; |
| |
• | modify the subordination or guarantee provisions in a manner adverse to holders of any series of debt securities; |
| |
• | make the medium or place of payment other than that stated in the debt securities; |
| |
• | impair the right to bring suit for the enforcement of any of these payments; and |
| |
• | modify the provisions regarding modifications to the indenture or waivers of a past Default or Events of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any series of debt securities that will be effectively against any holders of any series of debt securities. |
Governing Law
The indenture, the debt securities and the guarantees will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement, the indenture will be discharged:
| |
• | upon payment of all the series of debt securities issued under the indenture; or |
| |
• | upon deposit with the trustee, within one year of the date of maturity or redemption of all of the series of debt securities issued under the indenture, of funds sufficient for (a) the payment of principal of and interest on the securities to maturity or (b) redemption of the securities. |
Reports to Holders of Debt Securities
As long as the securities issued under the indenture are outstanding, we will file with the SEC, with a copy to the Trustee, our annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that we would be required to file with the SEC in accordance with Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, on or prior to the dates we would be required to file such documents and regardless of whether or not we are subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d). If our obligation to file these reports or information with the SEC is not then permitted by the SEC, or if such filings are not generally available on the Internet free of charge, we shall mail to the holders of such securities, at no cost to such holders, and file with the Trustee, copies of the annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports required to be filed with the SEC by companies subject to Section 13(a) or 15(d). We will also supply copies of such reports, promptly upon written request, to any prospective holder at our cost.
DESCRIPTION OF SUBORDINATED DEBT SECURITIES AND GUARANTEES
Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. and Toll Brothers Finance Corp. may issue senior subordinated debt securities or subordinated debt securities (“subordinated debt securities”) from time to time in one or more series. Any series of subordinated debt securities offered by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. will be offered together with the guarantees of Toll Brothers, Inc. and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries, as set forth in the prospectus supplement, and such guarantees, unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, will be full and unconditional.
One or more series of the subordinated debt securities of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. may be issued under a single indenture. Alternatively, any series of subordinated debt securities may be issued under a separate indenture. The terms applicable to each series of subordinated debt securities will be stated in the indenture and may be modified by the resolution(s) authorizing that series of subordinated debt securities adopted by the Board of Directors, or an officer or committee of officers authorized by the Board of Directors, of both the issuer of the subordinated debt securities, Toll Brothers, Inc. and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the subordinated debt securities under the applicable indenture. The resolution(s) authorizing a series of subordinated debt securities is referred to in this section of this prospectus as an “authorizing resolution.” Each indenture under which any subordinated debt securities are issued, including the applicable authorizing resolution(s), is referred to in this section of this prospectus as a “subordinated indenture,” and collectively with any other subordinated indentures, as the “subordinated indentures.” Each subordinated indenture will be entered into among Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp., as the obligor, Toll Brothers, Inc., and/or any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that are guarantors of the subordinated debt securities, as guarantors and the institution named in the prospectus supplement, as trustee.
The following is a description of certain general terms and provisions of the subordinated debt securities we may offer by this prospectus. The name of the issuer and the particular terms of any series of subordinated debt securities we offer, including the extent to which the general terms and provisions may apply to that series of subordinated debt securities, will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to those subordinated debt securities. Except as otherwise indicated in this prospectus or in the prospectus supplement, the following description of subordinated indenture terms is applicable to each subordinated indenture that Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. may enter into with respect to any series of subordinated debt securities we may offer by this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires.
The terms of any series of the subordinated debt securities include those stated in the applicable subordinated indenture. Holders of each series of the subordinated debt securities are referred to the subordinated indenture for that series, including the applicable authorizing resolution, for a statement of the terms. The respective forms of the subordinated indenture for the subordinated debt securities of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. and Toll Brothers Finance Corp. are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each subordinated indenture may be amended or modified for any series of subordinated debt securities by an authorizing resolution which will be described in the prospectus supplement, and the applicable authorizing resolution relating to any series of subordinated debt securities offered pursuant to this prospectus will be filed as an exhibit to a report incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The following summary of certain provisions of the subordinated debt securities and the subordinated indenture is not complete. You should read all of the provisions of the subordinated indenture, including the definitions contained in the subordinated indenture that are not otherwise defined in this prospectus, and the prospectus supplement. Wherever we refer to particular provisions or defined terms of the subordinated indenture, these provisions or defined terms are incorporated in this prospectus by reference.
General
The subordinated debt securities, when issued, will be obligations that constitute either senior subordinated debt or subordinated debt of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp., as the case may be. Toll Brothers, Inc. and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the subordinated debt securities will unconditionally guarantee the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the subordinated debt securities when due, whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. See “Guarantee of Debt Securities.” The total principal amount of subordinated debt securities which may be issued under the subordinated indenture will not be limited. Debt securities may be issued under the subordinated indenture from time to time in one or more series. Unless the prospectus supplement relating to the original offering of a particular series of subordinated debt securities indicates otherwise, the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities will have the ability to reopen the previous issue of that series of subordinated debt securities and issue additional subordinated debt securities of that series pursuant to an authorizing resolution, an officers’ certificate or a supplemental indenture. Because neither Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. nor Toll Brothers Finance Corp. has any independent operations or generates any operating revenues, the funds required to pay the principal, the premium, if any, and interest on the subordinated debt securities will come from Toll Brothers, Inc. and its other subsidiaries. Except as otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement, there is no legal or contractual restriction on the ability of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the other subsidiaries of Toll Brothers, Inc. to provide these funds.
If the subordinated debt securities of any series issued by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. will be subordinated to any other indebtedness of that issuer, the indebtedness of that issuer to which that series will be subordinated will be referred to in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement as senior indebtedness of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp., as the case may be. The applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement will define that senior indebtedness and describe the terms of the subordination. Unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement, the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on any series of subordinated debt securities issued by Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp. which is subordinated by its terms to other indebtedness of that issuer will be subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to the extent described in the subordinated indenture under which that series is issued, to the prior payment in full of all senior indebtedness of the issuer, as defined in the applicable authorizing resolution and prospectus supplement, whether the senior indebtedness is outstanding on the date of the subordinated indenture or is created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed after the date of the subordinated indenture.
The prospectus supplement relating to any series of subordinated debt securities that are offered by this prospectus will name the issuer and describe the specific terms of that series of subordinated debt securities. The prospectus supplement will describe, among other things, the following terms, to the extent they are applicable to that series of subordinated debt securities:
| |
• | their title and, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, the denominations in which they will be issuable; |
| |
• | their price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the respective aggregate principal amount of the subordinated debt securities) at which they will be issued; |
| |
• | their total principal amount and, if applicable, the terms on which the principal amount of the series may be increased by a subsequent offering of additional subordinated debt securities of the same series; |
| |
• | the interest rate (which may be fixed or variable and which may be zero in the case of certain subordinated debt securities issued at an issue price representing a discount from the principal amount payable at maturity), the date or dates from which interest, if any, will accrue and the circumstances, if any, in which the issuer may defer interest payments; |
| |
• | any special provisions for the payment of any additional amounts with respect to the subordinated debt securities; |
| |
• | any provisions relating to the seniority or subordination of all or any portion of the indebtedness evidenced by the securities to other indebtedness of the issuer; |
| |
• | the date or dates on which principal and premium, if any, are payable or the method of determining those dates; |
| |
• | the dates and times at which interest, if any, will be payable, the record date for any interest payment and the person to whom interest will be payable if other than the person in whose name the subordinated debt security is registered at the close of business on the record date for the interest payment; |
| |
• | the place or places where principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be payable; |
| |
• | the terms applicable to any “original issue discount” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related regulations), including the rate or rates at which the original issue discount will accrue, and any special federal income tax and other considerations; |
| |
• | the right or obligation, if any, of the issuer to redeem or purchase subordinated debt securities under any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder of subordinated debt securities, or otherwise, the conditions, if any, giving rise to the right or obligation and the period or periods within which, and the price or prices at which and the terms and conditions upon which, subordinated debt securities will be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part, and any provisions for the marketing of the subordinated debt securities; |
| |
• | if the amount of payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, is to be determined by reference to an index, formula or other method, the manner in which these amounts are to be determined and the calculation agent, if any, with respect to the payments; |
| |
• | if other than the principal amount of the subordinated debt securities, the portion of the principal amount of the subordinated debt securities which will be payable upon declaration or acceleration of the stated maturity of the subordinated debt securities pursuant to an “Event of Default,” as defined in the applicable subordinated indenture; |
| |
• | whether the subordinated debt securities will be issued in registered or bearer form and the terms of these forms; |
| |
• | whether the subordinated debt securities will be issued in certificated or book-entry form and, if applicable, the identity of the depositary; |
| |
• | any provision for electronic issuance or issuances in uncertificated form; |
| |
• | any listing of the subordinated debt securities on a securities exchange; |
| |
• | any events of default or covenants in addition to or in place of those described in this prospectus; |
| |
• | the terms, if any, on which the subordinated debt securities will be convertible into or exchangeable for other debt or equity securities, including without limitation the conversion price, the conversion period and any other provisions in addition to or in place of those included in this prospectus; |
| |
• | the collateral, if any, securing payments with respect to the subordinated debt securities and any provisions relating to the collateral; |
| |
• | whether and upon what terms the subordinated debt securities may be defeased; and |
| |
• | any other material terms of that series of subordinated debt securities. |
Guarantees of Subordinated Debt Securities
Each guarantor of the subordinated debt securities will guarantee, fully and unconditionally unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, the payment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the subordinated debt securities as they become due, whether at maturity, by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. The terms of the guarantees of any subordinated debt securities will be described in an applicable prospectus supplement.
The assets of Toll Brothers, Inc. consist principally of the stock of its subsidiaries. Therefore, the rights of Toll Brothers, Inc. and the rights of its creditors, including the holders of subordinated debt securities that are unconditionally guaranteed by Toll Brothers, Inc., to participate in the assets of any subsidiary other than the issuer of those subordinated debt securities upon liquidation, recapitalization or otherwise will be subject to the prior claims of that subsidiary’s creditors except to the extent that claims of Toll Brothers, Inc. itself as a creditor of the subsidiary may be recognized. This includes the prior claims of the banks that are lenders under First Huntingdon Finance Corp.’s credit facility, under which Toll Brothers, Inc. and certain of its other subsidiaries, including Toll Corp. and Toll Brothers Finance Corp., have guaranteed or will guarantee the obligations owing to the banks under the credit facility.
Conversion of Subordinated Debt Securities
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the subordinated debt securities will not be convertible into our common stock or into any other securities. The particular terms and conditions of the conversion rights of any series of convertible subordinated debt securities other than those described below will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, and subject, if applicable, to prior redemption at the option of the issuer of the subordinated debt securities, the holders of any series of convertible subordinated debt securities will be entitled to convert the principal amount or a portion of the principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000 at any time before the date specified in the prospectus supplement for the series of subordinated debt securities into shares of our common stock at the conversion price stated in the prospectus supplement, subject to adjustment as described below.
In the case of any subordinated debt security or portion of subordinated debt security called for redemption, conversion rights will expire at the close of business on the second business day preceding the redemption date.
We will not be required to issue fractional shares of common stock upon conversion of the subordinated debt securities of a convertible series. Instead, we will pay a cash adjustment for any fractional interest in a share of its common stock.
Convertible subordinated debt securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on a “Record Date,” as defined in the applicable subordinated indenture, or the next preceding “Business Day,” as defined in the applicable subordinated indenture, if the Record Date is not a Business Day, preceding any “Interest Payment Date,” as defined in the applicable subordinated indenture, to the opening of business on that Interest Payment Date, other than convertible subordinated debt securities or portions of convertible subordinated debt securities called for redemption during the period, will be accompanied by payment in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to us of an amount equal to the interest payable on the Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the convertible subordinated debt securities then being converted. Except as described in the preceding sentence, no payment or adjustment will be made on conversion of convertible subordinated debt securities on account of interest accrued on the subordinated debt securities surrendered for conversion or for dividends on the common stock delivered on conversion. If an issuer of convertible subordinated debt securities defaults on the payment of interest for which payment is made upon the surrender of those convertible subordinated debt securities for conversion, the amount so paid will be returned to the party who made the payment.
The conversion price of the subordinated debt securities of a convertible series will be subject to adjustment in certain events, including:
| |
• | the issuance of our common stock as a dividend or distribution on our common stock; |
| |
• | the subdivision, combination or reclassification of our outstanding common stock; |
| |
• | the issuance of rights or warrants, expiring within 45 days after the record date for issuance, to the holders of our common stock generally entitling them to acquire shares of our common stock at less than the common stock’s then “Current Market Price” as defined in the subordinated indenture; |
| |
• | the distribution to holders of our common stock, generally, of evidences of indebtedness or our assets, excluding cash dividends paid from retained earnings and dividends or distributions payable in stock for which adjustment is otherwise made; or |
| |
• | the distribution to the holders of our common stock, generally, of rights or warrants to subscribe for our securities, other than those for which adjustment is otherwise made. |
There will be no upward adjustment in the conversion price except in the event of a reverse stock split. Toll Brothers, Inc. is not required to make any adjustment in the conversion price of less than 1%, but the adjustment will be carried forward and taken into account in the computation of any subsequent adjustment.
A conversion price adjustment or the failure to make a conversion price adjustment may, under various circumstances, be deemed to be a distribution that could be taxable as a dividend under the Internal Revenue Code to holders of subordinated debt securities or to holders of common stock.
There will be no adjustments to the conversion price of the subordinated debt securities of any convertible series as discussed above in the following situations:
| |
• | any consolidation or merger to which we are a party other than a merger or consolidation in which we are the continuing corporation; |
| |
• | any sale or conveyance to another corporation of our property as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; or |
| |
• | any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation, including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into us However, the holder of each convertible subordinated debt security outstanding at that time will have the right to convert the subordinated debt security into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after the transaction if the subordinated debt security was converted immediately before the effective date of the transaction. |
Form, Exchange, Registration, Conversion, Transfer and Payment
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement:
| |
• | each series of subordinated debt securities will be issued in registered form only, without coupons; |
| |
• | payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each series of the subordinated debt securities will be payable at the office or agency of the issuer of that series maintained for this purpose; and |
| |
• | the exchange, conversion and transfer of each series of subordinated debt securities may be registered at the office or agency of the issuer of that series maintained for this purpose and at any other office or agency maintained for this purpose. |
Subject to various exceptions described in the subordinated indenture, the issuer of each series of subordinated debt securities will be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for the registration of transfer or exchange of the subordinated debt securities of that series, including an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge imposed or expenses incurred in connection with the transfer or exchange.
All payments made by the issuer of a series of subordinated debt securities to the trustee and paying agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the subordinated debt securities of that series which remain unclaimed for two years after the principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable may be repaid to the issuer. Afterwards, the holder of the subordinated debt security may look only to the issuer or, if applicable, Toll Brothers, Inc., and any of its directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the subordinated debt securities for payment, unless applicable abandoned property law designates another person.
Registered Global Securities
The registered subordinated debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more registered global subordinated debt securities. A registered global security is a security, typically held by a depositary, that represents the beneficial interests of a number of purchasers of the security. Any registered global subordinated debt securities will be deposited with and registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee identified in the prospectus supplement. In this case, one or more registered global securities will be issued, each in a denomination equal to the portion of the total principal amount of outstanding registered subordinated debt securities of the series to be represented by the registered global security.
Unless and until a registered global security is exchanged in whole or in part for subordinated debt securities in definitive registered form, it may not be transferred except as a whole:
| |
• | by the depositary for the registered global security to a nominee for the depositary; |
| |
• | by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or to another nominee of the depositary; or |
| |
• | by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or a nominee of a successor depositary. |
The prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of subordinated debt securities will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement involving any portion of a series of subordinated debt securities to be represented by a registered global security. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements for subordinated debt securities:
| |
• | ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons that have accounts with the depositary for the registered global security (each a “participant” and, collectively, the “participants”) or persons holding interests through the participants; |
| |
• | after the issuer of a series of subordinated debt securities issues the registered global security for the series, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal amounts of the subordinated debt securities of that series represented by the registered global security beneficially owned by the participants; |
| |
• | the underwriters, agents or dealers participating in the distribution of the subordinated debt securities will designate the accounts to be credited; |
| |
• | only a participant or a person that may hold an interest through a participant may be the beneficial owner of a registered global security; and |
| |
• | ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary for the registered global security for interests of the participants, and on the records of the participants for interests of persons holding through the participants. |
The laws of some states may require that specified purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may limit the ability of those persons to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.
So long as the depositary for a registered global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of the registered global security, the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the subordinated debt securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the subordinated indenture. Except as stated below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security:
| |
• | will not be entitled to have the subordinated debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in their names; |
| |
• | will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt |
| |
• | securities in definitive form; and |
| |
• | will not be considered the owners or holders of the subordinated debt securities under the subordinated indenture. |
Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for the registered global security and, if the person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interests to exercise any rights of a holder under the subordinated indenture applicable to the registered global security.
We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders, or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the subordinated indenture, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take the action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to give or take the action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on subordinated debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. Neither the issuer of a series of subordinated debt securities, Toll Brothers, Inc., any of Toll Brothers, Inc.’s directly or indirectly owned subsidiaries that guarantee the subordinated debt securities, the trustee under the subordinated indenture nor any other agent of any of them will be responsible or liable for any aspect of the
records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security for the series or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.
We expect that the depositary for any subordinated debt securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest in respect of the registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the registered global security as shown on the depositary’s records. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through the participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of the participants.
If the depositary for any subordinated debt securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, Toll Brothers, Inc. will appoint an eligible successor depositary. If Toll Brothers, Inc. fails to appoint an eligible successor depositary within 90 days, the subordinated debt securities will be issued in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security. In addition, Toll Brothers, Inc. may, at any time and in its sole discretion, determine not to have any subordinated debt securities of a series represented by one or more registered global securities. In that event, subordinated debt securities of that series will be issued in definitive form in exchange for each registered global security representing the subordinated debt securities. Any subordinated debt securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in such name or names as the depositary instructs the trustee. We expect that the instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from the participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security.
Events of Default, Notice and Waiver
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, each of the following events will be an “Event of Default” with respect to each series of subordinated debt securities issued under the subordinated indenture:
| |
• | a “Guarantor” (as defined in the subordinated indenture) Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities fails to pay interest due on any subordinated debt securities of that series for 30 days; |
| |
• | a Guarantor Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities fails to pay the principal of any subordinated debt securities of that series when due; |
| |
• | a Guarantor that is a “Significant Subsidiary” (as defined in the subordinated indenture), Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities fails to perform any other agreements contained in the subordinated debt securities of that series or in the guarantee relating to that series of subordinated debt securities or contained in the subordinated indenture for that series of subordinated debt securities and applicable to that series for a period of 60 days after the issuer’s receipt of notice of the default from the trustee under the subordinated indenture or the holders of at least 25% in principal of the subordinated debt securities of that series; |
| |
• | default in the payment of indebtedness of Toll Brothers, Inc. or any “Subsidiary,” as defined in the subordinated indenture of Toll Brothers, Inc., including Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp., under the terms of the instrument evidencing or securing the indebtedness which permits the holder of the indebtedness to accelerate the payment of in excess of an aggregate of $5,000,000 in principal amount of the indebtedness, after the lapse of applicable grace periods or, in the case of non-payment defaults, acceleration of the indebtedness if the acceleration is not rescinded or annulled within 10 days after the acceleration, provided that, subject to certain limitations described in the subordinated indenture, the term “indebtedness” does not include for this purpose an acceleration of or default on certain “Non-Recourse Indebtedness,” as that term is defined in the subordinated indenture; |
| |
• | a final judgment for the payment of money in an amount in excess of $5,000,000 is entered against Toll Brothers, Inc. or any subsidiary (as defined in the subordinated indenture) of Toll Brothers, Inc., including Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp., which remains undischarged for a period during which execution is not effectively stayed of 60 days after the date on which the right to appeal has expired, provided that the term “final judgment” will not include a “Non-Recourse Judgment,” as that term is defined in the subordinated indenture, unless the book value of all property, net of any previous write downs or reserves in respect of the property, subject to the Non-Recourse Judgment exceeds the amount of the Non-Recourse Judgment by more than $10,000,000; |
| |
• | an “Event of Default”, as that term is defined in the subordinated indenture relating to any outstanding subordinated debt securities identified in the subordinated indenture (each of these series of notes being referred to below as an |
“Outstanding Series”), occurs, provided that on the date of the occurrence, the outstanding principal amount of at least one Outstanding Series to which the occurrence relates exceeds $5,000,000;
| |
• | any one of various events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization specified in the subordinated indenture occurs with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities; or |
| |
• | the guarantee of Toll Brothers, Inc. relating to that series of subordinated debt securities ceases to be in full force and effect for any reason other than in accordance with its terms. |
“Non-Recourse Indebtedness,” as defined in the subordinated indenture, means indebtedness or other obligations secured by a lien on property to the extent that the liability for the indebtedness or other obligations is limited to the security of the property without liability on the part of Toll Brothers, Inc. or any subsidiary, other than the subsidiary which holds title to the property, for any deficiency.
“Non-Recourse Judgment,” as defined in the subordinated indenture, means a judgment in respect of indebtedness or other obligations secured by a lien on property to the extent that the liability for (1) the indebtedness or other obligations and (2) the judgment is limited to the property without liability on the part of Toll Brothers, Inc. or any subsidiary, other than the subsidiary which holds title to the property, for any deficiency.
The trustee is required to give notice to the holders of any series of subordinated debt securities within 90 days of a default with respect to that series of subordinated debt securities under the subordinated indenture. However, the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of any series of subordinated debt securities, except in the case of a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, with respect to that series, if the trustee considers the withholding to be in the interest of the holders.
If an Event of Default for the subordinated debt securities of any series at the time outstanding, other than an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities, occurs and is continuing, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of all of the outstanding subordinated debt securities of that series may, by giving an acceleration notice to the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities, declare the unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the subordinated debt securities of that series to be due and payable if, with respect to subordinated debt securities of that series (1) (a) no designated senior debt of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities is outstanding, or (b) if the subordinated debt securities of that series are not subordinated to other indebtedness of the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities, immediately; or (2) if designated senior debt of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities is outstanding and the subordinated debt securities of that series are junior to other indebtedness of the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities, upon the earlier of (A) ten days after the acceleration notice is received by the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities or (B) the acceleration of any senior indebtedness of Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities. The designated senior debt of Toll Brothers, Inc. is referred to in the subordinated indenture as “Designated Senior Debt of the Guarantor” and the designated senior debt of Toll Corp., First Huntingdon Finance Corp. or Toll Brothers Finance Corp., as the case may be, is referred to in the subordinated indenture for that issuer’s subordinated debt securities as “Designated Senior Debt of the Company,” and each, as defined in the subordinated indenture, may be further defined in the prospectus supplement.
If an Event of Default occurs with respect to a series of subordinated debt securities as a result of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Toll Brothers, Inc. or the issuer of that series of subordinated debt securities, then the unpaid principal amount of all of the subordinated debt securities of that series outstanding, and any accrued and unpaid interest, will automatically become due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act by the trustee or any holder of subordinated debt securities of that series. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to subordinated debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding subordinated debt securities of that series may rescind the acceleration, provided that, among other things, all Events of Default with respect to the particular series, other than payment defaults caused by the acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in the subordinated indenture.
The holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the subordinated debt securities of a particular series may generally waive an existing default with respect to that series and its consequences in accordance with terms and conditions provided in the subordinated indenture. However, these holders may not waive a default in the payment of the principal, any premium or any interest on the subordinated debt securities.
Toll Brothers, Inc. and any issuer of subordinated debt securities offered by this prospectus will be required to file annually with the trustee under the subordinated indenture a certificate, signed by an officer of Toll Brothers, Inc. and the issuer, stating
whether or not the officer knows of any default under the terms of the subordinated indenture and providing a description of any default of which the officer has knowledge.
Additional Provisions
Subject to the duty of the trustee to act with the required standard of care during a default, the subordinated indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to perform any duty or to exercise any of its rights or powers under the subordinated indenture, unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Subject to these provisions for the indemnification of the trustee and various other conditions, the holders of a majority in total principal amount of the outstanding subordinated debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the subordinated debt securities of that series.
A holder of subordinated debt securities of a series will not have the right to pursue any remedy with respect to the subordinated indenture or the subordinated debt securities of that series, unless:
| |
• | the holder gives to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; |
| |

Reports to Holders of Subordinated Debt Securities
We file with the trustee copies of our annual reports and other information, documents and reports that we file with the SEC. So long as our obligation to file these reports or information with the SEC is suspended or terminated, we will provide the trustee with audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and unaudited condensed quarterly financial statements. These financial statements will be accompanied by management’s discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition for the period reported upon in substantially the form required under the rules and regulations of the SEC then in effect.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may offer and sell the securities to which this prospectus relates in any one or more of the following ways:
| |
• | to or through underwriters; |
| |
• | to or through agents; or |
| |
• | through a combination of these methods. |
Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will name any managing underwriter, if any, and any other underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities. The prospectus supplement will also set forth the terms of the offering, including the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds to the issuer(s) from the sale of the securities, any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation, any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed.
The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:
| |
• | at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
| |
• | at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
| |
• | at prices related to prevailing market prices; or |
Each time we sell securities, we will describe the terms of the transaction and the method of distribution of the securities in the prospectus supplement relating to the transaction.
If underwriters are used in the offer and sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the issuer(s) of the securities will sell those securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
If an agent is used in an offering of securities being offered by this prospectus, the terms of the agency will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, an agent will act on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of the securities may be made, by the issuer(s) of those securities directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resales of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offer.
If indicated in the prospectus supplement, the issuer(s) of the securities to which the prospectus supplement relates will authorize underwriters or their other agents to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase securities from the issuer(s) pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery at a future date. Institutional investors with which these contracts may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and others. In all cases, these purchasers must be approved by the issuer(s) of the securities. The obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that (a) the purchase of the securities must not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction to which that purchaser is subject and (b) if the securities are also being sold to underwriters, the issuer(s) must have sold to these underwriters the securities not subject to delayed delivery. Underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.
In addition, the securities offered by this prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement may be offered and sold by the holders of the securities in one or more of the transactions described above, which transactions may be effected at any time and from time to time. Upon a sale of securities made in this manner, the respective holders of the securities and any participating broker, dealer or underwriter may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions, discounts or concessions upon the sale, or any profit on the resale of the securities, received in connection with the sale may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The
compensation, including commissions, discounts, concessions and other profits, received by any broker, dealer or underwriter in connection with the sale of any of the securities, may be less than or in excess of customary commissions.
Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents we may use in any offering of securities under this prospectus may be customers of, including borrowers from, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled, under agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to be reimbursed by us for certain expenses.
Until the distribution of the securities offered by this prospectus is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of the underwriters and certain selling group members, if any, to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, the representatives of the underwriters, if any, are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities.
If underwriters create a short position in the securities in connection with the offering of the securities (i.e., if they sell more securities than are included on the cover page of the prospectus supplement), the representatives of the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing securities in the open market. The representatives of the underwriters also may elect to reduce any short position by exercising all or part of the over-allotment option, if any, described in the prospectus supplement.
The representatives of the underwriters, if any, also may impose a penalty bid on certain underwriters and selling group members. This means that if the representatives purchase securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters’ short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the underwriters and selling group members who sold those securities as part of the offering of the securities.
In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a syndicate short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might otherwise be in the absence of these types of purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security by purchasers in the offering.
Neither we nor any of the underwriters, if any, makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the securities. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters, if any, makes any representation that the representatives of the underwriters, if any, will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering. The securities offered by this prospectus may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange (including the NYSE (where our common stock is listed)), or a foreign securities exchange. We cannot give any assurances that there will be a market for any of the securities offered by this prospectus and any prospectus supplement.
Because an indeterminate amount of securities are covered by this Registration Statement and the number of offerings are indeterminable, the expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities are not currently determinable.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment of this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information relating to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of this registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of this registration statement relating to the securities in this registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act (“Act”) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
