CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS |

• Our standing Board Committees are entirely composed of independent directors. | • There is Board-level oversight of our political contributions, which are reported in our public Sustainability Report. | |
• We have one class of voting securities and no supermajority voting requirements. | • Directors and employees are prohibited from pledging or hedging their holdings of our securities. | |
• Directors and senior executives are subject to equity ownership requirements. | • All directors serving at the time attended our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held on April 3, 2014. |
The Board is elected by our stockholders to oversee the management of our business and to assure that the long-term interests of our stockholders are being served. The Board carries out this role subject to Delaware law (our state of incorporation), and in accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, Ethics Policy and Corporate Governance Principles. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board has ten members. Mr. Jeffrey T. Mezger, our CEO, is the only member who is an employee. The Board held five meetings during our 2014 fiscal year. Each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of the Board Committees on which he or she served during the year. We expect directors to attend our annual stockholder meetings. | Key Governance Documents • Corporate Governance Principles: provide the primary framework within which we conduct our business and pursue our strategic goals. • Ethics Policy: establishes the ethical standards we expect our directors, senior executives and employees to follow when representing KB Home.

Audit Committee | FY2014 Meetings: 6 | |
Members | Primary Duties | |
Melissa Lora (Chair) Dr. Thomas W. Gilligan Luis G. Nogales Michael M. Wood Each member is financially literate. Ms. Lora is an “audit committee financial expert,” per NYSE listing standards and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. Mr. Wood was appointed to this Committee on January 22, 2014. | The Audit Committee is charged with the duties and responsibilities in its charter, which include general oversight of our accounting and reporting practices and audit process, including our independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence, retention, compensation and performance; and is authorized to act on the Board’s behalf with respect to our incurring, guaranteeing or redeeming debt and approving our entry into certain transactions. Per its Charter, the Audit Committee reviewed and approved updates to our Ethics Policy that became effective as of October 31, 2014. The Audit Committee is a separately designated standing audit committee as defined in Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “KBH.” |
Compensation Committee | FY2014 Meetings: 5 | |
Members | Primary Duties | |
Michael G. McCaffery (Chair) Stephen F. Bollenbach Timothy W. Finchem Kenneth M. Jastrow, II Robert L. Johnson Luis G. Nogales Each member is a “non-employee director” under SEC rules and is an “outside director” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). Messrs. Jastrow and Johnson were appointed to this Committee on April 3, 2014. | The Compensation Committee is charged with the duties and responsibilities in its charter, which include the evaluation and compensation of our CEO; the compensation of our CEO’s direct reports; and the evaluation and determination of non-employee director compensation and benefits. In its oversight of executive and non-employee director compensation, the Compensation Committee seeks assistance from our management and has retained an outside compensation consultant, Frederick W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FWC”). FWC’s services to the Compensation Committee are described below under the heading “Role of Compensation Consultants.” | Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation No member was part of a “compensation committee interlock” as described under SEC rules, and none of our executive officers served as a director or member of another entity’s compensation committee that would constitute a “compensation committee interlock.” |
Executive Officer and Non-Employee Director Compensation Processes and Procedures The Compensation Committee exercises the Board’s authority under our By-laws to fix executive officer and non-employee director compensation, and to approve the rules and procedures of, employee participation in, and grants and awards under our employee compensation and benefits arrangements, plans (including our employee equity compensation plans), programs and policies. Under this authority, the Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves the goals and objectives relevant to our CEO’s compensation, evaluates his performance in light of those goals and objectives and other criteria, and, either as a committee or together with the other independent directors (as directed by the Board), determines and approves our CEO’s compensation based on the evaluation. The Compensation Committee evaluates, in conjunction with our CEO, the performance of our CEO’s direct reports, and reviews and approves their compensation. The Compensation Committee, from time to time, reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding non-employee director compensation and benefits. The Compensation Committee may delegate to a subcommittee or to our management any duties and responsibilities as the Compensation Committee deems to be appropriate and in our best interests, but it cannot delegate to our management the authority to grant equity-based awards. |
Nominating/Governance Committee | FY2014 Meetings: 4 | |
Members | Primary Duties | |
Timothy W. Finchem (Chair) Stephen F. Bollenbach Dr. Thomas W. Gilligan Robert L. Johnson Melissa Lora Michael M. Wood Messrs. Gilligan and Wood were appointed to this Committee on, and Mr. Jastrow served as its Chair until, April 3, 2014. | The Nominating/Governance Committee is charged with the duties and responsibilities in its charter, which include overseeing our corporate governance policies and practices; reviewing “related party transactions,” as discussed below; overseeing the annual Board and Board Committee performance evaluations; and identifying, evaluating and recommending qualified director candidates to the Board. The Nominating/Governance Committee also regularly evaluates the skills and characteristics of current and potential directors, and identified for each present director nominee certain specific skills and qualifications that supported the Board’s determination that each should serve as a director. These qualifications and other biographical information are described below under “Election of Directors.” |
We believe our directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, judgment and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders. Our directors should also have an inquisitive and objective perspective, and be able and willing to dedicate the time necessary to Board and Board Committee service. The Nominating/Governance Committee and the Board determined that each individual whom the Board will present at the Annual Meeting as a director nominee possesses these characteristics. Under our Corporate Governance Principles, there are no term limits for directors. In January 2015, the Board increased the director retirement age specified in our Corporate Governance Principles from 72 to 75 to enable the Board and our stockholders to continue to benefit from the broad experience, significant skills and valuable contributions that directors at or approaching the prior age limit are able to provide. The Nominating/Governance Committee evaluates and recommends individuals for election to the Board at regular or special meetings and at any point during the year, taking into consideration the attributes listed at right, among other factors. Individuals may be nominated by current directors, and the Nominating/Governance Committee has retained professional search firms from time to time to assist it with director recruitment. Security holders may propose director nominees by following the procedures set forth in our By-Laws, which require, among other things, timely advance written notice to our Corporate Secretary of any potential nominee that contains specified information about the nominee and the nominating stockholder. Security holder director nominees are considered in the same manner as any other potential nominees. | Selected Director Attributes • Personal qualities, accomplishments and reputation in the business community; • Financial literacy, financial and accounting expertise and significant business, academic or government experience in leadership positions or at senior policy-making levels; • Geographical representation in areas relevant to our business; • Diversity of background and personal experience. Diversity may encompass race, ethnicity, national origin and gender, geographic residency, educational and professional history, community or public service, expertise or knowledge base and/or other tangible and intangible aspects of a candidate in relation to the personal characteristics of current directors and other potential director nominees. There is no formal policy as to how diversity of background and personal experience is applied, and a nominee’s background and personal experience, while important, do not necessarily outweigh other any other attributes or factors; • Fit of abilities and personality with those of current and potential directors in building a Board that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of our business; and • Independence and an absence of conflicting time commitments. |
Audit Committee Role. The Audit Committee annually oversees an overall enterprise risk management assessment performed by our management that identifies significant risk areas to our business and corresponding mitigating factors, controls or actions, and it requests or receives periodic updates as it or our management deem necessary or appropriate. The Audit Committee Chair reports to the Board regarding identified significant risks as deemed appropriate. In addition, at each of its regular meetings, the Audit Committee receives reports from each of our senior finance, accounting, legal and internal audit executives, and meets in separate executive sessions with each such executive and with representatives of our independent registered public accounting firm. | Compensation Committee Role. The Compensation Committee annually oversees a risk assessment of our employee compensation policies and programs performed by FWC in conjunction with our management that is focused on potential design and implementation risks from those policies and programs. The Compensation Committee also carries out its risk oversight role on an ongoing basis through its review and, to the degree appropriate, specific approval of compensation arrangements as they are being developed by our senior human resources personnel. The Compensation Committee Chair reports to the Board regarding significant risks as deemed appropriate. Based on this oversight approach and the outcome of the most recent annual risk assessment, we do not believe that our present employee compensation arrangements, plans, programs and policies are likely to have a material adverse effect on us. |
Pursuant to its charter, the Nominating/Governance Committee must review and approve or ratify any transaction, arrangement or relationship (or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we participate and in which a director, a director nominee, an executive officer or a beneficial owner of five percent or more of our common stock (or, in each case, an immediate family member) had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (a “Covered Transaction”), except transactions within the categories described at right or as otherwise determined by the Board. Our directors, executive officers, and stockholders who beneficially own five percent or more of our common stock are expected to inform our Corporate Secretary of Covered Transactions, and we collect information from our directors and executive officers about their affiliations and affiliations of their family members so that we can review our records for any such transactions. The Nominating/Governance Committee will approve or ratify a Covered Transaction if, based on a review of all material facts of the transaction and feasible alternatives, the Nominating/Governance Committee deems the transaction to be in our and our stockholders’ best interests. The Nominating/Governance Committee determined that there were no Covered Transactions during our 2014 fiscal year. | Pre-Approved Transaction Categories • Any transaction in which the total amount involved is less than or equal to $120,000; • The employment and compensation (a) of a director or executive officer if the individual’s compensation is reported in our annual proxy statement, or (b) of any other executive officer who is not an immediate family member of one of the foregoing individuals or a director nominee if such executive officer’s compensation was approved, or recommended for approval, by the Compensation Committee; • Any transaction that would not (a) need to be reported under federal securities laws, (b) be deemed to impair a director’s independence under our Corporate Governance Principles or (c) be deemed to be a conflict of interest under our Ethics Policy; and • Any transaction where an individual’s interest therein arises solely from ownership of our common stock and all holders of our common stock received the same benefit on a pro-rata basis. |

Meeting Fees | $1,500, only for an additional meeting(s) | $1,500, only for an additional meeting(s) |
2009 Director Program Compensation Elements Board and Board Committee Retainers. These retainers were paid in quarterly cash installments over a Director Year. A non-employee director could elect instead to receive these retainers in the form of stock units granted on the same date as the below-described equity grant. The differences in Board Committee retainers reflect the Board’s judgment of each Board Committee’s respective workload. A Board Committee Chair does not also receive the member retainer for the same Board Committee. Equity Grant. Each non-employee director serving at the time of the annual meeting of stockholders received a grant of stock options and stock units, each valued at $67,500, on the first date of a Director Year. Each stock option represented a right to receive a cash payment equal to the difference between its exercise price and the closing price of our common stock on an exercise date, making it akin to a stock appreciation right (“SAR”). Each stock unit represented a right to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of one share of our common stock on a payment date. Based on their elections in 2013 and 2014 that followed from amendments to the Director Plan, each non-employee director will receive an equivalent value of shares of our common stock in settlement of his or her SARs and stock units, which is expected to significantly reduce the degree of variability in the expense that had previously been associated with such awards when they were cash-settled. Per the Board’s authorization, we repurchased open market shares of our common stock in 2013 to effect stock unit settlements, respectively apportioning those shares to each non-employee director (who receive dividends from their apportioned shares). The Board has also authorized us to repurchase additional shares or issue stock payment awards under our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to effect SAR settlements, though none have been settled. The non-employee directors’ elections changed only the settlement method for the awards and did not impact the value to the directors. 2009 Director Program SARs and stock units vested one year after grant, and the SARs have a 10-year term. A non-employee director must own at least $250,000 in value of our common stock or common stock equivalents to exercise SARs, unless the director earlier leaves the Board, and must exercise SARs by the earlier of their respective terms or the third anniversary of leaving the Board. Based on non-employee directors’ elections, stock units will only be paid out upon a director’s leaving the Board. Meeting Fees. Such fees were potentially payable for attendance at Board or Board Committee meetings beginning with the third additional meeting above its number of regularly-scheduled meetings. No such fees were paid in 2014. |
Amended Director Program Compensation Elements Board and Board Committee Retainers. These retainers will be paid in quarterly cash installments over a Director Year. A non-employee director may elect instead to receive these retainers in the form of shares of our common stock or in the form of stock units, in either case granted on the same date as the below-described equity grant. Equity Grant. Each non-employee director serving at the time will be entitled to receive a grant of shares of our common stock valued at $145,000 on the first date of a Director Year and will receive dividends on those shares, or can elect instead to be credited with an equal number of stock units. However, if a director has not satisfied the stock ownership requirement by the applicable deadline (described below under the heading “Stock Ownership Requirements”), the director will only be entitled to be credited with stock units. In addition, the director may not sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or any common stock equivalents until the director satisfies the stock ownership requirement. Each stock unit represents the right to receive one share of our common stock on the earlier of a change in control or the date a non-employee director leaves the Board. For each stock unit held, a non-employee director will receive cash payments at the same time and in the same amount as any dividend paid on a share of our common stock. Meeting Fees. Such fees are payable for attendance at Board or Board Committee meetings beginning on the first additional meeting above its number of regularly-scheduled meetings, up to five such additional meetings. Eligibility for fees for attending more than five additional meetings is subject to the approval of the Chairman/respective Chair. |

Finchem, Jastrow and McCaffery and Ms. Lora and participants who are former directors. Some of the life insurance policies we maintain for the Directors’ Legacy Program did not require premium payments to be made in our 2014 fiscal year. Premium payments, where required, vary depending on participants’ respective ages and other factors. The total amount payable under the Directors’ Legacy Program at November 30, 2014, with all participating directors having vested in the full donation amount, was $15.3 million. |
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS |
At the Annual Meeting, the Board will present as nominees and recommend the election to the Board of each of the individuals named below for a one-year term ending with the election of directors at our 2016 Annual Meeting. Each nominee is currently a director, has consented to being nominated and has agreed to serve as a director if elected. Mr. Nogales, our longest-tenured director with two decades of service on the Board, and Mr. McCaffery, after serving for 12 years, will each leave the Board effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting. Should any of the nominees become unable to serve as a director prior to the Annual Meeting, the individuals named as proxies for the meeting will, unless otherwise directed, vote for the election of another person as the Board may recommend. On the date of the Annual Meeting, following the election of directors, the Board will have eight members. | Voting Standard To be elected, each director nominee must receive a majority of votes cast in favor (i.e., the votes cast for a nominee’s election must exceed the votes cast against the nominee’s election). |
Director Resignation Policy Our Corporate Governance Principles provide that a director nominee who fails to win election to the Board in an uncontested election is expected to tender his or her resignation from the Board (or to have previously submitted a conditional tender). An “uncontested election” is one in which there is no director nominee that has been nominated by a stockholder in accordance with our By-Laws. This election is an uncontested election. If an incumbent director fails to receive the required vote for election in an uncontested election, the Nominating/Governance Committee will act promptly to determine whether to accept the director’s resignation and will submit its recommendation for consideration by the Board. The Board expects the director whose resignation is under consideration to abstain from participating in any decision regarding that resignation. The Nominating/Governance Committee and the Board may consider any relevant factors in deciding whether to accept a director’s resignation. |

(b) | Bonus. For 2014, these amounts reflect additional payments related to the 2011 performance cash award program, as described above under the heading “2011 Performance Cash Awards.” For 2013, these amounts reflect payments of three-year restricted cash award grants to the NEOs other than Mr. Praw. Mr. Praw received a discretionary bonus for 2013 that was approved by the Compensation Committee. |
(c) | Stock Awards and Option Awards. These amounts represent the aggregate grant-date fair value of stock awards (consisting of both restricted stock and PSUs) and option awards (consisting of stock options) computed in accordance with ASC 718, as described in Note 19. Employee Benefit and Stock Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report, except that estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions have been disregarded. They do not represent realized compensation. The 2014 stock awards represent the grant-date fair value of restricted stock and the probable award of shares of our common stock underlying the PSUs granted. The grant-date fair value of the PSUs if maximum performance is achieved is as follows: Mr. Mezger $5,720,000; Mr. Kaminski $440,000; Mr. Woram $310,000; Mr. Praw $310,000; and Mr. Hollinger $180,000. |
(d) | Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. These amounts in 2014 include the sum of 2014 fiscal year annual incentive and 2011 performance cash award payouts. The 2013 and 2012 amounts reflect only annual incentive payouts. The table below summarizes the breakdown of each component in 2014. |

(e) | Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings. These amounts reflect the increase in the actuarial present value of accumulated benefits under our Retirement Plan. These changes are tied to interest rate fluctuations and do not reflect any cash or other compensation received by the NEOs in any of the three fiscal years in the table. The amounts attributed to the change in actuarial present value of Retirement Plan benefits are as follows: |

(a) | Grant Date. The date shown for each award is the date the Compensation Committee approved the award. |
(b) | Estimated Possible Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards. If there is a payout of the PSUs, “Threshold” represents the lowest possible payout if threshold performance is achieved for each performance measure, and “Maximum” reflects the highest possible payout (200% of the target number of shares granted). The performance measures are described above under the heading “Long-Term Incentives.” If threshold performance is not achieved on all three measures, the NEOs will not receive any payout of the PSUs. |
(c) | Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards. The grant-date fair value for each award is computed in accordance with ASC 718, as described in footnote (c) to the Summary Compensation Table. The 2014 stock awards represent the grant-date fair value of restricted stock and the probable award of shares of our common stock underlying the PSUs granted as of the grant date. |
