This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO initially filed on October 14, 2005 by Brookfield Homes Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with its offer to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or such lesser number of shares as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, from its stockholders. The tender offer will be conducted upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase dated October 14, 2005, as amended and supplemented, and the related letter of transmittal (which together as may be amended or supplemented from time to time constitute the tender offer). The Company is inviting stockholders to tender shares at a price per share of $55.00, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer. Brascan Corporation, the Company’s major stockholder, has indicated to the Company that it intends to tender up to an equivalent number of shares as the aggregate number of shares tendered by other stockholders.
In particular, the amended and supplemented offer to purchase filed herewith amends and supplements the offer to purchase filed October 14, 2005 by:
    adding the words, “, except as required by law”, after the words “We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise” on page 5 under the heading “Forward Looking Statements”, and
 
    deleting the sentence, “Brookfield Homes’ failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time prior to the expiration of the offer, or, in the case of conditions relating to necessary governmental approvals at or before the time of purchase of any shares”, from the first full paragraph on page 21 under “Section 6, Certain Conditions of the Offer” .
This amended and supplemented Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the applicable reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information contained in the offer to purchase, as amended and supplemented, and the letter of transmittal, copies of which are either attached as exhibits hereto or were filed as exhibits to the Schedule TO filed on October 14, 2005, is incorporated herein by reference in response to items 1 through 11 of this amended and supplemented Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning given to such terms in the offer to purchase, as amended and supplemented.
