Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

Attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01 is selected information contained in a presentation that WCI Communities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“the Company”), expects to provide to potential alternative acquirors during the “go shop” period under that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 22, 2016, by and among the Company, Lennar Corporation (“Lennar”), a Delaware corporation, Marlin Blue LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Lennar, and Marlin Green Corp., a Delaware corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Lennar.

The information in this report (including exhibits) that is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 hereof shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth in such filing. This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in the report that is provided in connection with Regulation FD.

Exhibit 99.1 includes financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted gross margin, that are not calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a more effective means by which to measure the Company’s operating performance. Exhibit 99.1 contains a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measure to the financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP which is most directly comparable to the applicable non-GAAP financial measure.

This document shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements which are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which the Company operates and beliefs of and assumptions made by the Company management, involve uncertainties that could significantly affect the financial results of the Company. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) national, international, regional and local economic climates, (ii) changes in financial markets and interest rates, or to the business or financial condition of either company or business, (iii) changes in the real estate markets, (iv) continued ability to source new investments, (v) risks associated with acquisitions, including the integration of the combined companies’ businesses, (vi) availability of financing and capital, (vii) mortgage rate changes; (viii) risks associated with achieving expected revenue synergies or cost savings, (ix) risks associated with the companies’ ability to consummate the transaction on the terms described or at all and the timing of the closing of the transaction, and (x) those additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the SEC by the Company from time to time, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in its most recently filed reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q. The Company does not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this document.
