Notice to Investors

This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal
securities laws.  Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as
“will,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “target,” “forecast,”
and other words and terms of similar meaning.  These statements reflect management’s current
views with respect to future events and are subject to risk and uncertainties. We note that a variety
of factors and uncertainties could cause our actual results to differ significantly from the results
discussed in the forward-looking statements, including the timing to consummate the proposed
merger, the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed merger may not be satisfied; our ability
to achieve the synergies and value creation contemplated by the proposed merger; our ability to
promptly and effectively integrate Credo’s businesses, and the diversion of management time on
merger-related matters.  Other factors and uncertainties that might cause such differences include,
but are not limited to: general economic, market, or business conditions; changes in commodity
prices; the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to us and that we may pursue;
fluctuations in costs and expenses including development costs; demand for new housing, including
impacts from mortgage credit availability; lengthy and uncertain entitlement processes; cyclicality
of our businesses; accuracy of accounting assumptions; competitive actions by other companies;
changes in laws or regulations; and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.  Except as
required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking
statements contained in this news release to reflect the occurrence of events after the date of this
presentation.
This presentation includes Non-GAAP financial measures. The required reconciliation to GAAP financial
measures can be found on our website at www.forestargroup.com.
