  • Filed by Taylor Morrison Home Corporation Pursuant to Rule 425
    Filed by Taylor Morrison Home Corporation Pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933 and deemed filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Subject Company: William Lyon Homes (Commission File No. 001-31625) Team, The honor and responsibility of becoming the nation’s fifth largest homebuilder required us to reevaluate our structure and thoughtfully consider how to best serve our new and expanded markets—and the abundance of future new team members we’re so excited to welcome aboard. With Smart Growth comes smart decisions—which is why we’ve thought long and hard about each and every one. With this acquisition—as exciting as the opportunity is—the very last thing we wanted to do was lose talented people. We all know too well top talent is hard to come by, and Taylor Morrison and William Lyon do not have a shortage of incredibly talented leaders and team members. That’s why we decided to look at the restructuring of our organization holistically—and not just solely within our overlapping markets. We strived, as best as we could, to find a great placement for all our leaders—from both teams—which is why you will see some shuffling between divisions and regions. So, without further ado, we’re ready to share the next layer of our organizational structure to support our growing business and delighted to appoint the following Division Presidents from coast to coast. Please keep in mind the following appointments aren’t effective until close of the acquisition, and all current leaders will remain in their current roles until that time.
