Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On March 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of Toll Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a
Certificate of Amendment to the Second Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the
“Certificate of Amendment”). The Certificate of Amendment includes an amendment approved by the
Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on March 17,
2010, which restricts certain transfers of the Company’s common stock in order to preserve the tax
treatment of the Company’s net operating and unrealized tax losses. The Certificate of Amendment’s
transfer restrictions generally restrict any direct or indirect transfer of the Company’s common
stock if the effect would be to increase the direct or indirect ownership of any Person (as defined
in the Certificate of Amendment) from less than 4.95% to 4.95% or more of the Company’s common
stock, or increase the ownership percentage of a Person owning or deemed to own 4.95% or more of
the Company’s common stock. Any direct or indirect transfer attempted in violation of this
restriction would be void as of the date of the prohibited transfer as to the purported transferee.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which was
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2010, and is filed as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendment of Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
In addition to the amendment described in Item 3.03 above, which is incorporated herein by
reference, the Certificate of Amendment also includes an amendment, authorized by the Company’s
stockholders at the Company’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on March 17, 2005,
increasing the Company’s authorized shares from 201,000,000 to 415,000,000 consisting of two
classes of stock. The Certificate of Amendment provides for 400,000,000 authorized shares of
common stock, $.01 par value, an increase from the 200,000,000 shares previously authorized, and
15,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value, an increase from the 1,000,000
preferred shares previously authorized.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, which was
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 18, 2010, and is filed as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
