On February 8, 2008, Toll Brothers, Inc. (the Company) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission its Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement on Schedule
14A (proxy materials), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Schedule TO and
incorporated herein by reference. The proxy materials included a proposal for stockholders to
approve certain plan amendments to authorize a voluntary stock option exchange program for
employees other than executive officers and directors (the exchange program). At its 2008 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders held on March 12, 2008, the Companys stockholders voted to approve the
plan amendments to authorize the exchange program. The Company has decided to proceed with an
exchange program that is scheduled to commence on June 16, 2008.
Neither this information nor the proxy materials constitute an offer to purchase or a
solicitation of an offer to sell the Companys securities. Upon commencement of the exchange
program on June 16, 2008, the Company will provide option holders who are eligible to participate
in the exchange program with written materials explaining the precise terms and timing of the
exchange program. Persons who are eligible to participate in the exchange program should read
these written materials carefully when they become available because they will contain important
information about the exchange program. The Company will also file these written materials with
the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of a tender offer statement upon the commencement of
the exchange program. The Companys stockholders and option holders will be able to obtain these
written materials and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission free of charge from the Securities and Exchange Commissions website at www.sec.gov on
and after June 16, 2008. Eligible holders of the Companys options may obtain a written copy of
the tender offer documents, when available, by contacting Toll Brothers, Inc., Attention: Investor
Relations, 250 Gibraltar Road, Horsham, PA 19044, or by telephone at (215) 938-5196.
