On October 12, 2011, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (“Hovnanian”) issued a press release relating
to the previously announced private exchange offers and consent solicitation of K. Hovnanian
Enterprises, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hovnanian. In the press release, Hovnanian
announced the extension of the Early Tender and Consent Time.
The exchange offers and consent solicitation are being made within the United States only to
“qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. investors pursuant to Regulation
S. The new secured notes to be offered have not been and will not be registered under the
Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from registration requirements. The information contained in this report does
not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy senior notes or new secured
notes subject to the exchange offers in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or sale would be
unlawful.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
