Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, Five Point Holdings, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been involved in various federal, state, county and administrative claims (collectively, the “Litigation”) regarding regulatory approvals and permits for the Company’s Newhall Ranch development in Los Angeles County.

On September 25, 2017, the Company announced a settlement with four of the six petitioners (the “Settling Petitioners”) that have challenged the Newhall Ranch development who are also parties to the Litigation. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, the Settling Petitioners agreed to dismiss all pending claims in the Litigation. In addition, they also agreed (i) not to oppose previous, pending and certain future regulatory approvals related to the Newhall Ranch development and (ii) not to seek protections for certain species of plants and animals under federal and state endangered species acts.

In exchange, the Company agreed to a commitment to incur approximately $62 million over the next 9 years for various initiatives, including construction of a Native American cultural facility and museum, establishment of conservation programs to protect the San Fernando Valley spineflower (“Spineflower”), and establishment of an endowment to conserve endangered, threatened, and sensitive species that occur within the Santa Clara River watershed, and to cover certain expenses of the Settling Petitioners. The Company also agreed to implement, with certain additional requirements, its previously approved plans to (i) achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions at the Newhall Ranch project, (ii) protect the unarmored threespine stickleback that is native to the Santa Clara River, and (iii) preserve Spineflower vegetation within Newhall Ranch. The Company further agreed to refrain from developing certain areas within Newhall Ranch and to provide construction monitoring programs and archeological surveys designed to identify and preserve Native American cultural sites within Newhall Ranch.

A copy of the Company’s recent press release relating to the settlement of the Litigation is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
