Lennar Corporation announced that it has finalized the results of its exchange offer, completing the divestiture of its approximately 20% stake in Millrose Properties, Inc. The exchange was settled on a pro‑rated basis after the offer was oversubscribed, with a final proration factor of 8.604228%. In the transaction, Lennar exchanged 33,298,754 shares of Millrose for 8,049,594 shares of Lennar, giving Millrose shareholders additional Lennar stock while reducing Lennar’s ownership in the land‑banking REIT.
The proration factor reflects the ratio of Millrose shares received to Lennar shares offered, and the oversubscription indicates strong demand from Millrose shareholders for the Lennar shares. The exchange offer expired on November 21, 2025, and the final results were disclosed on November 26, 2025. The transaction marks the end of Lennar’s direct land ownership in Millrose and completes the company’s plan to spin off the land‑banking platform that it launched in February 2025.
Strategically, the deal aligns with Lennar’s shift toward an asset‑light, land‑light model. By divesting its remaining stake, Lennar can focus capital and management attention on its core home‑building operations while still maintaining access to developed homesites through its relationship with Millrose. For Millrose, the exchange provides additional liquidity and a clearer path to independence, enabling it to pursue growth opportunities and potentially attract new investors who value its unique homesite option purchase platform.
Investors viewed the transaction as a positive strategic move. The modest market reaction reflected confidence in Lennar’s earnings performance and the broader view that the divestiture will streamline the company’s balance sheet and sharpen its focus on core construction activities. Millrose’s shareholders benefited from the additional Lennar shares, and the transaction is expected to support the company’s ability to expand its land‑banking platform and pursue further acquisitions or development projects.
The completion of the exchange offer signals a continued trend of portfolio optimization for Lennar and a maturation of Millrose as an independent entity. Both companies are positioned to pursue their respective growth strategies: Lennar with a leaner asset base and Millrose with a stronger capital position and clearer strategic focus. The transaction is likely to influence future capital allocation decisions and may set the stage for additional transactions or partnerships in the residential real‑estate sector.
