Beginning on May 11, 2018, Taylor Morrison Home Corporation sent the following communication to certain of its stockholders.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT
PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY
May 11, 2018
Dear Stockholder:
We recently distributed or made available to you proxy materials in connection the annual meeting of stockholders of Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (TMHC) to be held on May 30, 2018 (the Annual Meeting). According to our latest records, we have not received your voting instructions, and your vote is very important no matter how many shares you hold.
One of the proposals you are being asked to approve (Proposal 4 on the meeting agenda and described in the proxy materials) is the amendment and restatement of our certificate of incorporation to provide for the phased-in declassification of our Board of Directors. Pursuant to our current certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms, and each director holds office until the expiration of the term of the class to which he or she was elected.
We believe that declassifying our Board of Directors will best serve TMHC and you, our stockholder. We believe that declassifying our Board will further strengthen our governance structure by providing stockholders more frequent evaluation of the members serving on our Board, thereby increasing the Boards accountability. The Board of Directors, consistent with the position of proxy advisory firms, fully support having a declassified board and asks that you vote in favor of Proposal 4.
In order for Proposal 4 to pass, at least 75% of shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, must vote in favor of this proposal. This is a very high voting standard and differs from the other proposals on the ballot. Under this voting standard, if you mark your voting instructions to abstain or you do not vote at all, this will count as a vote against the proposal, thereby lessening the chance of its passage.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR all proposals on the meeting agenda, including the proposal to approve the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Proposal 4).
You are urged to participate by voting your shares promptly, particularly in light of the high threshold required to approve Proposal 4. Whether or not you plan to attend the TMHC annual meeting, please submit a proxy to vote your shares via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the enclosed duplicate proxy card. Alternatively, please sign, date and return your proxy in the return envelope provided.
If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please call D.F. King & Co., Inc., toll free at (800) 821-8781.
On behalf of your Board of Directors, thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
Sincerely, |
Sheryl D. Palmer Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer |
