     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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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 Commission’s website at www.sec.gov on and after June 16, 2008. Eligible holders of the Company’s 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.
