About WCI Communities, Inc.
We are a fully integrated homebuilding and real estate services company with over 50 years of experience in the design, construction and operation of leisure-oriented, amenity-rich master-planned communities. We began our operations in Florida through companies that principally focused on developing amenitized communities in the state. In the late 1990’s, we changed our business model to capture greater revenue and gross margins by becoming the principal homebuilder in most of our communities. In May 2004, we initiated homebuilding operations outside of Florida with the acquisition of Spectrum Communities (Spectrum), a developer and homebuilder that currently operates in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. In February 2005, we acquired Renaissance Housing Corporation (Renaissance), a luxury homebuilder and developer that currently operates in Maryland and Virginia. These acquisitions established our position in the Northeast U.S. and Mid-Atlantic U.S. luxury residential markets and broadened our capabilities to take advantage of future opportunities in the mid and high-rise urban residential market.
We offer a full complement of products and services to enhance our customers’ lifestyles and meet their expectations. We design, sell and build single- and multi-family homes serving move-up, pre-retirement and retirement home buyers. We also design, sell and build luxury residential towers targeting affluent, leisure-oriented home purchasers.
We acquire and develop the land in our communities, construct the residences, design, build and operate the amenities in many of our communities and otherwise control most aspects of the planning, design, development, construction and operation of our communities. In certain situations, we elect to sell parcels and lots to others, including other builders and developers or end users.
We conduct development and homebuilding operations in the following markets:
• | Florida: |
• | East Coast — Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach/ Boca Raton, Daytona Beach and Jacksonville; and | |
• | West Coast — Marco Island, Naples, Fort Myers/ Cape Coral, Punta Gorda, Sarasota/ Bradenton, Tampa/ St. Petersburg/ Clearwater and Pensacola; |
• | New York — Dix Hills, Croton-on-Hudson, Sleepy Hollow, West Nyack, Eastport, East Fishkill, Lake Grove, Tarrytown and Hopewell Crossing; | |
• | New Jersey — Monroe and North Bergen; | |
• | Connecticut — Southbury and Danbury; | |
• | Virginia — Leesburg, McLean, Oakton, Manassas, Occoquan, Chantilly, Herndon, Fairfax, and Arlington; and | |
• | Maryland — Columbia and Marlboro. |
Since we market our products to move-up, pre-retirement and retirement leisure-oriented home purchasers, we expect to benefit from favorable demographic and economic trends, including the aging of
2
Table of Contents
the “baby-boom” generation, the growing inter-generational wealth transfer to our target demographic segment, and the increasing affluence of the pre-retirement and retirement-aged population.
Our principal business lines include single- and multi-family (traditional) homebuilding, mid- and high-rise (tower) homebuilding and real estate services, each of which contributes to our profitability.
Homebuilding Activities
Traditional Homes |
We design, sell and build traditional homes serving primary, second and retirement homebuyers. We build most of these homes within our master-planned communities, which often feature attractive amenities, including hotels such as Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt, Regent International and Starwood’s Luxury Collection. Many of our communities also include golf courses developed by well-known golf professionals, including Raymond Floyd, Peter Jacobsen and Greg Norman. We believe that this approach increases the value of our homes and communities and helps us attract affluent purchasers. Additionally, we sometimes sell selected lots directly to buyers for the design and construction of homes.
Tower Residences |
We design, sell and build luxury residential towers and condominium hotels targeted to affluent, leisure-oriented home purchasers. We hire experienced and bonded third party general contractors specializing in the construction of towers to construct these buildings. By hiring experienced general contractors to construct our towers, we mitigate many of the risks associated with construction. As the developer of the towers that we build, we manage the entire process from planning to closing of completed residences and turnover of the condominium association to residents.
Generally, construction is not commenced until a substantial number of units are under non-cancelable contracts. We will generally collect a deposit from each purchaser to cover a portion of estimated construction costs. Once construction is completed, closings of sold residences usually occur within one month, at which time we are paid the balance of the purchase price for the residences sold.
Real Estate Services
Realty Brokerage |
In 2004, we extended our franchise agreement for 10 years with Prudential Real Estates Affiliates, Inc. This agreement allows us to provide exclusive residential brokerage services as Prudential Florida WCI Realty in seven geographic areas across nine counties in Florida and commercial brokerage services in Naples. The exclusive franchise areas are in Lee, Collier, Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, Charlotte, and Dade Counties and in portions of Hillsborough and Manatee Counties. Under the agreement, we pay Prudential a royalty based on gross commission revenue on a monthly basis. Additionally, through a separate subsidiary, we provide new home and certain resale brokerage services.
Title Insurance |
We provide title insurance and closing services through a subsidiary which underwrites its policies on behalf of large national title insurers and derives its revenues from commissions on title insurance premiums and closing services provided to our customers, third party residential closings and commercial closings.
Mortgage Banking |
We provide residential mortgage banking services to our buyers, as well as to third party purchasers through our subsidiary, Financial Resources Group, Inc. (FRG), which also does business as WCI Mortgage. FRG originates home mortgages which are subsequently sold to mortgage investors. Generally these mortgages are sold at prices established in commitments obtained from mortgage investors prior to
3
Table of Contents
the time the mortgages are originated. The mortgages are primarily funded through a bank warehouse facility.
Amenities Membership And Operations
Our amenities, including championship golf courses with clubhouses, fitness, tennis and recreational facilities, guest lodging, marinas and a variety of restaurants, are central to our mission to deliver high quality residential lifestyles. Amenities at our communities are owned by either community residents or non-residents in equity membership programs, unaffiliated third parties, or retained by us. As we plan the development of new communities, the ownership of the amenities is structured to cater to the preferences and expectations of community residents.
Land Sales
We leverage our expertise and experience in master planning by strategically selling land at premium prices within our communities for construction of products we do not choose to build. This enables us to create a more well-rounded community by selling land to developers who will construct residential, commercial, industrial and rental properties, which we may prefer not to develop at a particular time or in general. We sometimes engage in retail land sales or sell selected lots to other builders and to end users for the design and construction of homes.
Other Investments
We selectively enter into business relationships through partnerships and joint ventures with unrelated parties. These partnerships and joint ventures are utilized to acquire, develop, market and operate homebuilding, timeshare, amenities, and/or real estate services projects.
Marketing
Targeting move-up, pre-retirement, retirement and affluent second home buyers, we develop and execute award-winning, multi-media marketing plans for our homes and communities. We believe our proprietary marketing systems and the depth of experience of our marketing group create an increased number of selling opportunities for us and has generally enhanced our marketing presence and brand recognition. Our marketing programs reach prospective purchasers, locally, nationally, and internationally through advertisements placed in demographic specific periodicals and other media. When a prospective purchaser responds to one of our advertisements or our website, specific property information is provided to them and purchase-specific information is entered into our database creating a personalized customer record, which is used to record every interaction we have with this prospective purchaser. We believe that our relationship and database marketing results in the efficient use of expenditures and results in a greater conversion rate of interested parties to buyers.
Our principal executive offices are located at 24310 Walden Center Drive, Bonita Springs, Florida 34134. Our telephone number is (239) 947-2600. Our website is www.wcicommunities.com. The information provided in our website is not incorporated into this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties and all other information contained in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference, before you decide whether to purchase our securities. Additional risks, including those that relate to any particular securities that we may offer, will be included in the applicable prospectus supplement. Any of the following risks, or any of the risks disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement, if they materialize, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. As a result, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Significant Capital Requirements — If we are not able to raise sufficient capital to enhance and maintain the operations of our properties and to expand and develop our real estate holdings, our results of operations and revenues could decline. |
We operate in a capital intensive industry and require significant capital expenditures to maintain our competitive position. Failure to secure needed additional financing, if and when needed, may limit our ability to grow our business which could reduce our results of operations and revenues. We expect to make significant capital expenditures in the future to enhance and maintain the operations of our properties and to expand and develop our real estate holdings. In the event that our plans or assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate or if our cash flow proves to be insufficient, due to unanticipated expenses or otherwise, we may seek to minimize cash expenditures and/or obtain additional financing in order to support our plan of operations. Additional funding, whether obtained through public or private debt or equity financing, or from strategic alliances, may not be available when needed or may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Inability to Successfully Develop Communities — If we are not able to develop our communities successfully, our earnings could be diminished. |
Before a community generates any revenues, material expenditures are required to acquire land, to obtain development approvals and to construct significant portions of project infrastructure, amenities, model homes and sales facilities. It generally takes several years for a community development to achieve cumulative positive cash flow. Our inability to develop and market our communities successfully and to generate positive cash flows from these operations in a timely manner would have a material adverse effect on our ability to service our debt and to meet our working capital requirements.
Risks Associated with Construction — Problems in the construction of our communities could result in substantial increases in cost and could disrupt our business which would reduce our profitability. |
We must contend with the risks associated with construction activities, including the inability to obtain insurance or obtaining insurance at significantly increased rates, cost overruns, shortages of lumber, steel, concrete or other materials, shortages of labor, labor disputes, unforeseen environmental or engineering problems, work stoppages and natural disasters, any of which could delay construction and result in a substantial increase in costs which would reduce our profitability. Where we act as the general contractor, we are responsible for the performance of the entire contract, including work assigned to unaffiliated subcontractors. Claims may be asserted against us for construction defects, personal injury or property damage caused by the subcontractors, and these claims may give rise to liability. Where we hire general contractors, if there are unforeseen events like the bankruptcy of, or an uninsured or under-insured loss claimed against, our general contractors, we may become responsible for the losses or other obligations of the general contractors, which may materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Should losses in excess of insured limits occur, the losses could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, our results of operations could be negatively impacted in the event that a general contractor experiences significant cost overruns or delays and is not able or willing to absorb such impacts.

Risk of Increased Interest Rates — Because many of our customers finance their home purchases, increased interest rates could lead to fewer home sales which would reduce our revenues. |
Many purchasers of our homes obtain mortgage loans to finance a substantial portion of the purchase price of their homes. In general, housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates, housing costs and unemployment and by decreases in the availability of mortgage financing. In addition, there have been discussions of possible changes in the federal income tax laws which would remove or limit the deduction for home mortgage interest. If effective mortgage interest rates increase and the ability or willingness of prospective buyers to finance home purchases is adversely affected, our operating results may also be negatively affected which may impair our ability to meet our working capital requirements.
Substantial Indebtedness and High Leverage — Our substantial indebtedness and high leverage could adversely affect our financial health. |
We have substantial debt and debt service requirements. At March 31, 2005:
• | our total debt was $1,421.4 million; | |
• | our total equity was $914.8 million; | |
• | total debt represented 60.8% of total capitalization of WCI Communities, Inc. and its subsidiaries; and | |
• | we had up to approximately $511.5 million available for borrowings under the senior unsecured revolving credit facility. |
For the year ended December 31, 2004, our debt service payment obligations totaled approximately $81.8 million. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 our debt service payment obligations totaled approximately $23.1 million. Based on the terms, outstanding balances and interest rates of our indebtedness as of March 31, 2005 our annual debt service payment obligations would be approximately $100.6 million
In addition, in connection with the development of certain of our communities, community development or improvement districts may utilize bond financing programs to fund construction or acquisition of certain on-site and off-site infrastructure improvements, near or at such communities. The obligation to pay principal and interest on the bonds issued by the districts is assigned to each parcel within the district. If the owner of the parcel does not pay such obligation, a lien will be placed on the property to secure the unpaid obligation. The bonds, including interest and redemption premiums, if any, and the associated lien on the property are typically payable, secured and satisfied by revenues, fees, or assessments levied on the property benefited.
Although we are not directly obligated to pay all of the outstanding bond amounts, we do pay a portion of the revenues, fees, and assessments levied by the districts on the property benefited by the improvements within our communities. In addition, we guarantee district shortfalls under certain bond debt service agreements when the revenues, fees, and assessments which are designed to cover principal and interest and other operating costs of the bonds are not paid. In the event that debt service shortfalls guaranteed by us occur, we will be required to fund our obligations under these guarantees. The amount of bond obligations issued and outstanding by districts with respect to our communities totaled $145.9 million at March 31, 2005. We have accrued $47.4 million as of March 31, 2005 as the estimated amount of such bonds that we may be required to fund. The amount we may have to pay in connection with these bonds, however, may be more or less than the amount we have accrued.
Our high degree of leverage could have important consequences to you, including the following:
• | our ability to satisfy our obligations with respect to our outstanding debt may be impaired in the future; | |
• | our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes may be impaired in the future; |
6
Table of Contents
• | a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available to us for other purposes; | |
• | certain of our borrowings are and will continue to be at variable rates of interest (including borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility), which will expose us to the risk of increased interest rates; | |
• | we may be substantially more leveraged than certain of our competitors, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage; and | |
• | our substantial leverage may limit our flexibility to adjust to changing economic or market conditions, reduce our ability to withstand competitive pressures and make us more vulnerable to a downturn in general economic conditions. |
In addition, our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and our other debt instruments contain financial and other restrictive covenants that will limit our ability to, among other things, borrow additional funds.
Availability of Land — Because our business depends on the acquisition of new land, the unavailability of land could reduce our revenues or negatively affect our results of operations. |
Our operations and revenues are highly dependent on our ability to expand our portfolio of land parcels. We may compete for available land with entities that possess significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources. Competition generally may reduce the amount of land available as well as increase the cost of such land. An inability to effectively carry out any of our sales activities and development resulting from the unavailability of land may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
National and Regional Economic Conditions — A deterioration in national and regional economic conditions could adversely impact our real estate sales and revenues. |
Our real estate sales and revenues could decline due to a deterioration of regional or national economies. Our sales and revenues would be disproportionately affected by worsening economic conditions in the Midwestern and Northeastern United States because we generate a disproportionate amount of our sales from customers in those regions. In addition, a significant percentage of our residential units are second home purchases which are particularly sensitive to the state of the economy.
Risks Associated with Our Geographic Concentration in Florida — Because of our geographic concentration in Florida, an economic downturn in Florida could reduce our revenues or our ability to grow our business. |
We currently develop and sell a substantial majority of our properties in Florida. Consequently, any economic downturn in Florida could reduce our revenues or our ability to grow our business. In addition, the appeal of becoming an owner of one of our residential units may decrease if potential purchasers do not continue to view the locations of our communities as attractive primary, second home or retirement destinations.
Risks Due to Recent Terrorist and Weather Events — Increased insurance risk, perceived risk of travel and adverse changes in economic conditions as a result of recent events could negatively affect our business. |
We believe that insurance and surety companies are re-examining many aspects of their business, and may take actions including increasing premiums, requiring higher self-insured retentions and deductibles, requiring additional collateral on surety bonds, reducing limits, restricting coverages, imposing exclusions, such as mold damage, sabotage and terrorism, and refusing to underwrite certain risks and classes of business. Any increased premiums, mandated exclusions, change in limits, coverages, terms and conditions
7
Table of Contents
or reductions in the amounts of bonding capacity available may adversely affect our ability to obtain appropriate insurance coverages at reasonable costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Community Relations — Poor relations with the residents of our communities could negatively impact sales, which could cause our revenues or results of operations to decline. |
As a community developer, we may be expected by community residents from time to time to resolve any real or perceived issues or disputes that may arise in connection with the operation or development of our communities. Any efforts made by us in resolving these issues or disputes could be deemed unsatisfactory by the affected residents and any subsequent action by these residents could negatively impact sales, which could cause our revenues or results of operations to decline. In addition, we could be required to make material expenditures related to the settlement of such issues or disputes or modify our community development plans.
Risks and Costs of Growth — We may not be successful in our efforts to identify, complete or integrate acquisitions which could adversely affect our results of operations and prospects. |
A principal component of our strategy is to continue to grow profitably in a controlled manner in both existing and new markets by acquiring and developing land or by acquiring other property developers or homebuilders. On May 24, 2004, we completed our first acquisition outside Florida with our purchase of Spectrum, a developer and homebuilder that currently operates in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. On February 17, 2005, we announced our second acquisition outside of Florida with our acquisition of Renaissance, a luxury homebuilder and developer based in Reston, Virginia that currently operates in Virginia and Maryland. However, we may not be successful in implementing our acquisition strategy and growth may not continue at historical levels or at all. The failure to successfully integrate Spectrum or Renaissance and identify and acquire other businesses or real estate development opportunities effectively could adversely affect our business, assets, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Variability in Our Results — We experience variability in our results of operations in each quarter and accordingly, quarter-to-quarter comparisons should not be relied upon as an indicator of our future performance. In addition, as a result of such fluctuations, the price of our securities may experience volatility. |
We have historically experienced, and in the future expect to continue to experience, variability in our revenue, profit and cash flow. Our historical financial performance is not necessarily a meaningful indicator of future results and we expect financial results to vary from project to project and from quarter to quarter. In particular, our revenue recognition policy for tower residences can cause significant fluctuation in our total revenue from quarter to quarter. We believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance. As a result of such fluctuations, the price of our securities may experience volatility.
We commence construction of a portion of our homes prior to obtaining non-cancellable sales contracts for those residences. Depending on the level of demand for these residences, some or all of these residences may not be sold at the prices or in the quantities originally expected. As a result, our operating income could be adversely affected.
Risks of Seasonality — We may be negatively impacted by seasonal factors, which could limit our ability to generate revenue and cash flow. |
Because many of our Florida customers prefer to close on their home purchases before the winter, and due to the typical timing of tower construction commencement and completion, the fourth quarter of each year often produces a disproportionately large portion of our total year’s revenues, profits and cash
8
Table of Contents
flows. Therefore, delays or significant negative economic events that occur in the fourth quarter may have a disproportionate effect on revenues, profits and cash flows for the year.
Risk of Nonreceipt of Already Recognized Revenue and Profit on Tower Residence Sales — If we do not receive cash corresponding to previously recognized revenues, our future cash flows could be lower than expected. |
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we recognize revenues and profits from sales of tower residences during the course of construction. Revenue is recorded when construction is beyond a preliminary stage, the buyer is committed to the extent of being unable to require a full refund, except for nondelivery of the residence, a substantial percentage of residences are under non-cancelable contracts, collection of the sales price is reasonably assured and costs can be reasonably estimated. Due to various contingencies, like delayed construction and buyer defaults, we may receive less cash than the amount of revenue already recognized or the cash may be received at a later date than we expected which could affect our profitability and ability to pay our debts.
Risks of Expansion — Expansion into new geographic areas poses risks. If we are unable to successfully expand into new geographic areas, our results of operations may be adversely affected. |
We plan to continue to expand our business to new geographic areas outside of Florida. We will incur additional risks to the extent we develop communities in climates or geographic areas in which we do not have experience or develop a different size or style of community, including:
• | acquiring the necessary construction materials and labor in sufficient amounts and on acceptable terms; | |
• | adapting our construction methods to different geographies and climates; and | |
• | reaching acceptable sales levels at such communities. |
In addition, we may have difficulty attracting potential customers from areas and to a market in which we have not had significant experience.
Risks Associated with Natural Disasters — Our revenues and profitability may be adversely affected by natural disasters. |
The Florida climate presents risks of natural disasters. To the extent that hurricanes, severe storms, floods or other natural disasters or similar events occur, our business may be adversely affected. Our Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions may also become subject to severe winter conditions that may adversely affect our business. Although we insure for losses resulting from natural disasters, such insurance may not be adequate to cover business interruption or losses resulting therefrom, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Risks Associated with Our Industry — Laws and regulations related to property development may subject us to additional costs and delays which could reduce our revenues, profits or prospects. |
We are subject to a variety of statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations governing certain developmental matters, building and site design which may impose additional costs and delays on us. In particular, we may be required to obtain the approval of numerous governmental authorities regulating such matters as permitted land uses, levels of density and the installation of utility services such as gas, electric, water and waste disposal. In addition, certain fees, some of which may be substantial, may be imposed to defray the cost of providing certain governmental services and improvements. We also may be subject to additional costs or delays or may be precluded from building a project entirely because of “no growth” or “slow growth” initiatives, building permit allocation ordinances, building moratoriums, restrictions on the availability of utility services or similar governmental regulations that could be imposed in the future. These ordinances, moratoriums or restrictions, if imposed, could cause our costs to increase
9

and delay our planned or existing projects, which would in turn reduce our revenues, profits or ability to grow our business.
In addition, some of our land and some of the land that we may acquire has not yet received all of the planning approvals or entitlements necessary for planned development or future development. Failure to obtain entitlement of this land on a timely basis may adversely affect our future results and prospects.
Environmental Regulation — Compliance with applicable environmental laws may substantially increase our costs of doing business which could reduce our profits. |
We are subject to various laws and regulations relating to the operation of our properties, which are administered by numerous federal, state and local governmental agencies. Our growth and development opportunities may be limited and more costly as a result of legislative, regulatory or municipal requirements. The inability to grow our business or pay these costs could reduce our profits. In addition, our operating costs may also be affected by our compliance with, or our being subject to, environmental laws, ordinances and regulations relating to hazardous or toxic substances of, under, or in such property. These costs could be significant and could result in decreased profits or the inability to develop our land as originally intended.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We will use the net proceeds that we receive from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include repayment of debt, capital expenditures, possible land or corporate acquisitions and any other purposes that may be stated in any prospectus supplement. The net proceeds may be invested temporarily or applied to repay short-term or revolving debt until they are used for their stated purpose.
DIVIDEND POLICY
Historically, we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock and expect that, for the foreseeable future, we will not do so. Historically, we have followed a policy of retaining earnings in order to finance the continued development of our business and expect that, for the foreseeable future, we will continue to follow this policy.
Payment of future dividends, if any, would be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our earnings, capital requirements, operating and financial condition, and any contractual limitations then in effect. In this regard, our senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and the indentures governing our outstanding senior subordinated notes contain restrictions on the amount of dividends that we may pay on our common stock. In addition, our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and senior subordinated notes require the maintenance of minimum consolidated stockholders’ equity, which restricts the amount of dividends that we may pay.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
This section explains the provisions of the debt securities that we may offer and sell by this prospectus. The particular terms of the debt securities offered, including any changes from these terms, will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities.
The debt securities will be governed by the applicable indentures. The indentures give us broad authority to set the particular terms of each series of debt securities, including the right to modify certain of the terms contained in the indentures. The applicable indentures contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every provision of the debt securities or the indentures. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of the applicable indenture, including definitions of terms used in such indenture. You should read the applicable indenture, including the defined terms, and the particular terms of the debt securities for provisions that may be important to you. You should read the prospectus supplement relating to a series of debt securities for more information about the terms of a particular series of debt securities, including variations from the terms described in this prospectus. This summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the description of the particular terms of the debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The debt securities will be our general unsecured or secured obligations. The senior debt securities will be senior to all of our subordinated debt. The senior debt securities, if unsecured, will rank equally with our other unsecured, unsubordinated debt and, if secured, will rank equally with our other secured, unsubordinated debt.
The senior subordinated debt securities will be subordinate to any of our senior debt and to certain other of our debt obligations that may be outstanding. The senior subordinated debt securities will rank equally with certain other items of our senior subordinated debt that may be outstanding, including our outstanding senior subordinated notes and contingent convertible senior subordinated notes, and senior to certain of our subordinated debt that may be outstanding, including any subordinated debt securities.
The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate in right of payment to any of our senior debt, to our senior subordinated debt securities and to certain of our other obligations and will rank equally with certain other items of our subordinated debt. Any debt securities we issue may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by one or more of our present or future subsidiaries. The guarantors, if any, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. None of the debt securities will be guaranteed unless otherwise described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The senior debt securities are to be issued under a form of senior indenture to be executed by us and a trustee to be selected by us. We refer to this indenture as the “senior indenture”. Senior subordinated debt securities are to be issued under a form of senior subordinated indenture to be executed by us and a trustee to be selected by us. We refer to this indenture as the “senior subordinated indenture”. Subordinated debt securities are to be issued under a subordinated indenture to be executed by us and a trustee to be selected by us. We refer to this indenture as the “subordinated indenture”. In this prospectus, the senior indenture, the senior subordinated indenture and the subordinated indenture are sometimes collectively referred to as the “indentures.” The indentures are substantially identical, except for provisions relating to subordination. For purposes of the summaries below, the term “guarantor” shall refer to each guarantor, if any, under the applicable indenture.
General
The indentures do not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities which may be issued. The indentures also provide that debt securities may be issued in one or more series, in such form or forms, with such terms and up to the amount we authorize, in each case as established from time to time in or pursuant to a resolution of our board of directors and set forth in an officers’ certificate or established in one or more supplemental indentures. All debt securities of one series need not be issued at the same
14
Table of Contents
time, and, unless otherwise provided, any series may be reopened, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of that series, for issuances of additional debt securities of that series.
Reference is made to the prospectus supplement for the following terms of any offered debt securities:

Table of Contents
No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the offered debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with an exchange or transfer.
Debt securities may be issued under an indenture as original issue discount securities to be offered and sold at a substantial discount from the principal amount thereof. Special federal income tax, accounting and other considerations applicable to any such original issue discount securities will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Ranking
The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the senior subordinated debt securities and the subordinated debt securities will be subordinated, as set forth in the senior subordinated or subordinated indentures, in right of payment, to the prior payment in full of all senior indebtedness, whether outstanding on the date of the applicable indenture or thereafter incurred.
Except as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, upon any distribution to our creditors or the creditors of a guarantor in a liquidation or dissolution of WCI Communities, Inc. (“WCI”) or any guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to WCI or any guarantor or any of their property, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of the assets and liabilities of WCI or any guarantor, the holders of senior indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such senior indebtedness before the holders of the debt securities will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities, and until all senior indebtedness is paid in full in cash, any distribution to which the holders of the debt securities would be entitled shall be made to the holders of senior indebtedness, except that holders of the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities may receive:
(1) shares of capital stock and any securities representing indebtedness (collectively, “permitted junior securities”) that are subordinated to substantially the same extent, or to a greater extent, as the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities to: |
• | senior indebtedness; and | |
• | any securities issued in exchange for senior indebtedness; and |
(2) payments made from the trust referred to under “Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance”. |
WCI or a guarantor also may not make any payment upon or in respect of the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities, except that holders may receive permitted junior securities or payments and other distributions from the trust referred to under “Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance”, if:
(1) a payment default on designated senior indebtedness occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period (a “payment default”); or | |
(2) any other default occurs and is continuing with respect to designated senior indebtedness that permits holders of the designated senior indebtedness as to which such default relates to accelerate its maturity (a “non-payment default”) and the applicable trustee receives notice of such default (a “payment blockage notice”) from WCI or the holders of such designated senior indebtedness. |
Payments on the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities, as the case may be, may and shall be resumed:
(1) in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived; and |
16
Table of Contents
(2) in case of a nonpayment default, the earlier of the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived or 179 days after the date on which the applicable payment blockage notice is received (each such period, the “payment blockage period”), |
unless the maturity of any designated senior indebtedness has been accelerated.
No new payment blockage notice may be delivered unless and until 360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately preceding payment blockage notice. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any payment blockage notice to the applicable trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent payment blockage notice unless such default shall have been cured or waived.
If WCI or a guarantor fails to make any payment on the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities when due or within any applicable grace period, whether or not on account of the payment blockage provision referred to above, such failure would constitute an event of default under the applicable indenture and would enable the holders of the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities to accelerate the maturity of such debt securities.
If the applicable trustee or any holders of the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities receives a payment in respect of the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities, as applicable, (except permitted junior securities or payments and other distributions from the trust referred to under “Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance”) when the payment is prohibited by these subordination provisions, the applicable trustee or the applicable holders, as the case may be, shall hold the payment in trust for the benefit of the holders of senior indebtedness. Upon the proper written request of the holders of senior indebtedness, the applicable trustee or the applicable holders, as the case may be, shall deliver the amounts in trust to the holders of senior indebtedness or their proper representative.
The applicable indenture will further require that WCI or a guarantor promptly notify holders of senior indebtedness if payment of the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities is accelerated because of an event of default.
“Designated senior indebtedness” means:
(1) indebtedness outstanding under our senior unsecured revolving credit agreement dated as of August 13, 2004 by and among WCI, Bank of America, N.A. and the other parties named therein, providing for up to $1.0 billion of borrowings, including any related notes, guarantees, collateral documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection therewith, and in each case as amended, modified, renewed, refunded, replaced or refinanced from time to time; and | |
(2) any other indebtedness, the principal amount of which is $25.0 million or more and that has been designated by us as “Designated Senior Indebtedness.” |
“Senior indebtedness” means:
(1) all indebtedness of such person under our senior unsecured revolving credit facilities and all hedging obligations with respect thereto; and | |
(2) any other indebtedness of such person, unless the instrument under which such indebtedness is incurred expressly provides that it is on a parity with or subordinated in right of payment to the senior subordinated securities or subordinated securities, including, with respect to clauses (1) and (2), interest accruing subsequent to the filing of, or which would have accrued but for the filing of, a petition for bankruptcy, in accordance with and at the rate (including any rate applicable upon any default or event of default, to the extent lawful) specified in the documents evidencing or governing such senior indebtedness, whether or not such interest is an allowable claim in such bankruptcy proceeding. |
17
Table of Contents
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, senior indebtedness will not include:
• | any liability for federal, state, local or other taxes owed or owing by such person; | |
• | any indebtedness of such person to any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates; | |
• | any trade payables, customer deposits, reserves and accrued expenses; | |
• | any obligations to repay or guarantee shortfalls in payments of bond financing issued by community development districts and local government districts to construct infrastructure improvements other than that portion of such obligations that is due and payable at the time of determination; and | |
• | such other indebtedness that may be excluded from the definition of “senior indebtedness” by the senior subordinated indenture and the subordinated indenture, as the case may be. |
“Senior Indebtedness” of WCI or any guarantor of the senior subordinated debt securities or the subordinated debt securities has a correlative meaning.
Conversion Rights
The prospectus supplement will provide whether the offered debt securities will be convertible and, if so, the initial conversion price or conversion rate at which such convertible debt securities will be convertible into shares of our common or preferred stock. The holder of any convertible debt security will have the right exercisable at any time during the time period specified in the prospectus supplement, unless previously redeemed by us, to convert such debt security at the principal amount (or, if such debt security is an original issue discount security, such portion of the principal amount thereof as is specified in the terms of such debt security) into shares of our common or preferred stock at the conversion price or conversion rate set forth in the prospectus supplement, subject to adjustment. The holder of a convertible debt security may convert a portion of the debt security which is $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000. In the case of debt securities called for redemption, conversion rights will expire at the close of business on the date fixed for the redemption as may be specified in the prospectus supplement, except that in the case of redemption at the option of the holder, if applicable, such right will terminate upon receipt of written notice of the exercise of the option.
In certain events, the conversion rate will be subject to adjustment as set forth in the applicable indenture. Such events may include:
• | the issuance of shares of any class of our capital stock as a dividend on the common stock into which the debt securities of such series are convertible; | |
• | subdivisions, combinations and reclassifications of the common or preferred stock into which debt securities of such series are convertible; | |
• | the issuance to all holders of common or preferred stock into which debt securities of such series are convertible of rights or warrants entitling the holders (for a period not exceeding 45 days) to subscribe for or purchase shares of common or preferred stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share of common or preferred stock (as defined in the indentures); and | |
• | the distribution to all holders of common or preferred stock of evidences of debt of WCI Communities, Inc. or of assets (excluding cash dividends paid from retained earnings and dividends payable in common stock for which adjustment is made as referred to above) or subscription rights or warrants (other than those referred to above). |
No adjustment of the conversion price or conversion rate will be required unless an adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price or rate. Fractional shares of common or preferred stock will not be issued upon conversion, but we will pay a cash adjustment for it. Convertible debt securities surrendered for conversion between the record date for an interest payment, if any, and the interest payment date (except convertible debt securities called for redemption on a redemption date
18
Table of Contents
during such period) must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest which the registered holder is to receive.
Defaults, Notice and Waiver
The following are events of default under the indentures with respect to debt securities of any series issued thereunder:
• | default in the payment of interest on any debt security of that series when due continued for 30 days (whether or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions, if any, of the indenture); | |
• | default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any on) any debt security of that series at its maturity (whether or not payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions, if any, of the indenture); | |
• | default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, if any, when due by the terms of any debt security of that series (whether or not payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions, if any, of the indenture); | |
• | failure by WCI Communities, Inc. or any of its restricted subsidiaries to comply for 30 days after notice with certain of its other agreements contained in the applicable indenture; | |
• | certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; | |
• | any guarantee shall for any reason cease to exist or shall not be in full force and effect enforceable in accordance with its terms; and | |
• | any other event of default provided with respect to debt securities of that series. |
If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding shall occur and be continuing, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may declare the unpaid principal balance immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to WCI Communities, Inc., any significant subsidiary or any group of restricted subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for WCI Communities, Inc. and its restricted subsidiaries), would constitute a significant subsidiary, the outstanding debt securities of that series will become due and payable without further action or notice.
However, any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of that series may, by written notice rescind and annul such acceleration under certain circumstances, except a continuing default or event of default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the outstanding debt securities. For information as to waiver of defaults, see “Modification and Waiver” below.
Reference is made to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of offered debt securities which are original issue discount securities for the particular provision relating to acceleration of the maturity of a portion of the principal amount of such original issue discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default and the continuation thereof.
We must file annually with the trustee in respect of each indenture an officers’ certificate stating whether or not we are in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the respective indenture and, if so, specifying the nature and status of the default.
Each indenture provides that the trustee, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default, will give by mail to all holders of debt securities of any series notice of all defaults with respect to such series known to it, unless such default has been cured or waived; but, in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any debt security of such series or in the payment of any
19
Table of Contents
sinking fund or similar obligation installment with respect to debt securities of such series, the trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if the board of directors or such committee of directors as designated in such indenture or responsible officer of the trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of such holders.
Each indenture contains a provision entitling the trustee to be indemnified by holders of debt securities before proceeding to exercise any right or power under such indenture at the request of any such holders. Each indenture provides that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any series may, subject to certain exceptions, direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee regarding the debt securities of such series. The right of a holder to institute a proceeding with respect to each indenture is subject to certain conditions precedent including notice and indemnity to the trustee, but the holder has an absolute right to receipt of principal and interest when due and to institute suit for payment of principal and interest.
Covenants
Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets |
Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to offered debt securities, we, without the consent of any holder of outstanding debt securities, may consolidate with or merge into any other corporation, or convey, transfer or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to, any person, provided that the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which we are merged or the person which acquires by conveyance or transfer or which leases our properties and assets, substantially as an entirety is a corporation organized under the laws of any United States jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the applicable indenture, that after giving effect to the transaction, no event of default shall have happened and be continuing, and that certain other conditions are met.
Other Covenants |
The prospectus supplement relating to offered debt securities will describe any other material covenants in respect of a series of debt securities. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, any covenants applicable to the debt securities will be binding on us and our guarantor subsidiaries. Other than the covenant included in the indentures described under “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” above or any covenant described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not have the benefit of any covenants that limit or restrict our business or operations or the incurrence of additional indebtedness by us or any guarantor, and there are no covenants or other provisions in the indenture providing for a put or increased interest or otherwise that would afford holders of debt securities additional protection in the event of a recapitalization transaction, a change of control transaction or a highly leveraged transaction.
Modification and Waiver
Modification and amendments of the indentures may be made by WCI Communities, Inc., any guarantor, and the trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of each series affected provided, that no modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected:
• | change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any debt security; | |
• | reduce the principal amount of, or any premium or interest, on any debt security; | |
• | reduce the amount of principal of an original issue discount security payable upon acceleration of the maturity thereof; |
20
Table of Contents
• | adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the holder of any security, or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation of the holder or modify the payment terms of any sinking fund or similar obligation; | |
• | make any debt securities payable in money other than that stated in such debt security; | |
• | impair the right to commence suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the stated maturity thereof with respect to any debt security; | |
• | reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series, the consent of the holders of which is required for modification or amendment of the indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or for waiver of certain defaults; or | |
• | change or amend certain other provisions with respect to debt securities of that series. |
Without the consent of any holder of outstanding debt securities, WCI Communities, Inc., any guarantor, and the applicable trustee may amend or supplement the indentures and each series of debt securities to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities, to provide for the assumption of WCI Communities, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s obligations to holders of the debt securities in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of WCI Communities, Inc.’s assets or to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders of debt securities or that does not adversely affect the legal rights of any holder of debt securities, including adding guarantees.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a provision which under such indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of that series.
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the applicable indenture with respect to the debt securities of any series may be discharged, subject to the terms and conditions as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement when:
• | all debt securities, with the exceptions provided for in the applicable indenture, of that series have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; | |
• | all debt securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation: | |
• | have become due and payable; | |
• | will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year; or | |
• | are to be called for redemption within one year; or | |
• | certain events or conditions occur as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. |
Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, we can terminate certain of our obligations under the indenture with respect to the debt securities of any series, other than the obligation to pay interest on, premium, if any, and the principal of the debt securities of such series and certain other obligations, known as “covenant defeasance”, at any time by:
• | depositing money or U.S. government obligations with the trustee in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the debt securities of such series to their maturity; and | |
• | complying with certain other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of an opinion of counsel to the effect that holders of debt securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance. |
21
Table of Contents
In addition, unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, we can terminate all of our obligations under the indenture with respect to the debt securities of any series, other than certain specific obligations, which will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, known as “legal defeasance”, at any time by:
• | depositing money or U.S. government obligations with the trustee in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the debt securities of such series to their maturity; and | |
• | complying with certain other conditions, including delivery to the trustee of an opinion of counsel stating that there has been a change in the federal tax law since the date of the indenture to the effect that holders of debt securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance or the delivery to the trustee of a ruling or other formal statement or action by the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect. |
Guarantees
Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be guaranteed. If any debt securities are guaranteed, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by one or more of our present or future subsidiaries. The guarantors, if any, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The guarantees will be made on a senior, senior subordinated or subordinated basis corresponding to the relative ranking of the underlying debt securities.
The obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee will be limited so as not to constitute a fraudulent conveyance under applicable U.S. Federal or state laws. Each guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its guarantee will be entitled to a contribution from any other guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the net assets of each guarantor determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A guarantee issued by any guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon any sale, exchange or transfer to any person that is not one of our affiliates of all of our capital stock in, or all or substantially all the assets of, such guarantor.
Trustee
We will appoint a trustee to serve under each indenture. The applicable trustee may perform certain services for and transact other banking business with WCI Communities, Inc. or, if applicable, any guarantor from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

• | 147,876 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options granted or to be granted under the Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan. |
The common stock has one vote per share. All outstanding shares of the common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The following description of the material terms of our capital stock is subject to our restated certificate of incorporation and second amended and restated bylaws, which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the provisions of applicable Delaware law.
Common Stock
Dividends |
Each share of common stock will be entitled to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to preferences that may apply to any preferred stock that we may issue in the future. We do not expect to pay any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
Voting Rights |
Each share of common stock will be entitled to one vote. Except as noted above, and except as provided under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the holders of shares of common stock vote together as a single class on all matters on which stockholders are permitted or entitled to vote, including the election of directors.
Liquidation Rights |
In the event of our dissolution or liquidation, after satisfaction of all our debts and liabilities and distributions to the holders of any preferred stock that we may issue in the future, if any, of amounts to which they are preferentially entitled, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably with holders of common stock in the distribution of assets to the stockholders.
23
Table of Contents
Other provisions |
There are no cumulative, subscription or preemptive rights to subscribe for any additional securities which we may issue, and there will be no redemption provisions, conversion provisions or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.
Election of directors |
The election of the directors of WCI Communities, Inc. will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the general meeting at which the directors are elected. Stockholders of WCI Communities, Inc. will not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the voting rights attaching to our common stock will, as a practical matter, be entitled to control the election of all directors.
Listing |
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WCI.”
Transfer Agent and Registrar |
Computershare Investor Services, LLC is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock in the United States.
Preferred Stock
Authorized shares of our preferred stock may be issued at the discretion of our board of directors without any further action by the shareholders, except as required by applicable law or regulation. Our board of directors is authorized, from time to time, to divide the preferred stock into classes or series, to designate each class or series and to determine for each class or series its respective rights and preferences, including, without limitation, any of the following:
• | the rate of dividends and whether dividends will be cumulative or have a preference over the common stock in right of payment; | |
• | the terms and conditions upon which shares may be redeemed and the redemption price; | |
• | sinking fund provisions for the redemption of shares; | |
• | the amount payable in respect of each share upon a voluntary or involuntary liquidation of us; | |
• | the terms and conditions upon which shares may be converted into other securities of ours, including common stock; | |
• | limitations and restrictions on payment of dividends or other distributions on, or redemptions of, other classes of our capital stock junior to that series, including the common stock; | |
• | conditions and restrictions on the incurrence of certain indebtedness or issuance of other senior classes of capital stock; | |
• | the terms on which shares may be redeemed, if any; and | |
• | voting rights. |
Any series or class of preferred stock could, as determined by our board of directors at the time of issuance, rank senior to our common stock with respect to dividends, voting rights, redemption and liquidation rights. The preferred stock authorized is of the type commonly known as blank-check preferred stock.
We currently have no outstanding preferred stock.
24
Table of Contents
Ranking |
Each new series of preferred stock will rank equally with each other series of preferred stock and prior to our common stock regarding the distribution of dividends or disposition of other assets, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Dividends |
Holders of each new series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive cash dividends, if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for cash dividends or dividends in additional shares of preferred stock as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. For each series, we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement:
• | the dividend rates; | |
• | whether the rates will be fixed or variable or both; | |
• | whether dividends are payable in additional preferred stock or cash; | |
• | the dates of distribution of the dividends; and | |
• | whether the dividends on any series of preferred stock will be cumulative or non-cumulative. |
We will pay dividends to holders of record of preferred stock as they appear on our records, on the record dates fixed by the board of directors.
We cannot declare or pay full dividends on funds set apart for the payment of dividends on any series of preferred stock unless dividends have been paid or set apart for payment on a proportionate basis with other equity securities which rank equally with the preferred stock regarding the distribution of dividends. If we do not pay full dividends on all equity securities which rank equally, then each series of preferred stock will share dividends in proportion with our other equity securities that rank equally with that series.
Conversion and Exchange |
The prospectus supplement for any new series of preferred stock will state the terms and other provisions, if any, on which shares of the new series of preferred stock are convertible into shares of our common stock or debt securities or exchangeable for securities of a third party.
Redemption |
We will specify in the prospectus supplement applicable to each new series of preferred stock:
• | whether the preferred stock will be redeemable at any time, in whole or in part, at our option or the holder of the preferred stock; | |
• | whether the preferred stock will be subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to a sinking fund or on other terms; and | |
• | the redemption prices. |
In the event that preferred stock is partially redeemed, the shares to be redeemed will be determined by lot, on a proportionate basis or any other method determined to be equitable by the board of directors.
Dividends will cease to accrue on shares of preferred stock called for redemption, and all rights of holders of redeemed shares will terminate, on and after a redemption date, except for the right to receive the redemption price, unless we default in the payment of the redemption price.
25
Table of Contents
Liquidation Preference |
Upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of each series of preferred stock will be entitled to receive:
• | distributions upon liquidation in the amount set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; plus | |
• | any accrued and unpaid dividends. |
These payments will be made to holders of preferred stock out of our assets available for distribution to shareholders before any distribution is made on any securities ranking junior to the preferred stock regarding liquidation rights.
In the event that holders of preferred stock are not paid in full upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, then these holders will share, on a proportionate basis, any future distribution of our assets with holders of our other securities that rank equally with them.
After payment of the full amount of the liquidation preference to which they are entitled, the holders of each series of preferred stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of our assets.
Voting Rights |
The holders of shares of preferred stock will have no voting rights except as indicated in the certificate of designations relating to the series, the applicable prospectus supplement or as required by applicable law.
Transfer Agent and Registrar |
We will specify each of the transfer agent, registrar, dividend disbursing agent and redemption agent for shares of each new series of preferred stock in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Reservation of Common Stock |
We will reserve the full number of shares of our common stock issuable on conversion of the preferred stock out of the total of our authorized but unissued shares of common stock to permit the conversion of the preferred stock into shares of common stock.
Registration Rights
After our initial public offering, certain executive officers, directors and institutional holders were entitled to various rights with respect to the registration of such shares under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with such public offering. Under the terms of this agreement, if we propose to register any of our securities under the Securities Act, either for our own account or for the account of other security holders exercising registration rights, the holders of our common stock who are parties to our registration rights agreement are entitled to notice of the registrations and are entitled, subject to limitations, to include shares in the registration. Citicorp Venture Capital, Kamehameha Activities Association and the John D. and Catherine F. MacArthur Foundation, together acting as a group, and the estates of Don Ackerman and Al Hoffman, acting individually, may require us to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to their shares on one occasion each, and we have agreed to bear all registration expenses other than underwriters discounts and selling concessions incurred in connection with these requested registrations. In the demand registrations, we are required to use our reasonable best efforts to complete the registration. These rights are subject to conditions and limitations, among them, the right of the underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares included in a registration.

Anti-Takeover Measures
Delaware Law |
We are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
• | prior to the business combination our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; or | |
• | upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, such stockholder owned at least 85% of our outstanding voting stock at the time such transaction commenced, excluding for the purpose of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned: |
• | by our officers and directors; and | |
• | by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
• | at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 662/3% of our outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales or other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years did own) 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. The statute could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control or reducing the price that some investors might be willing to pay in the future for our common stock.
Election and Removal of Directors |
Our restated certificate of incorporation provides for three classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the directors in each class serving for a three-year term, and one class being elected each year by our stockholders. Directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of seventy-five percent in voting power voting as a single class of all of our shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. In addition, the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our board of directors and does not include a provision for cumulative voting for directors. These and other provisions contained in our restated certificate of incorporation and second amended and restated by-laws could delay or discourage certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change in control of us or our management (including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current prices) and may limit the ability of stockholders to remove current management or approved transactions that stockholders may deem to be in their best interests.
Stockholder Meetings and Written Consent |
Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken to our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing. In addition, special meetings of the stockholders can only be called by our chief executive officer, the president or the majority of our board of directors.
27
Table of Contents
Stockholder Nominations and Proposals |
Our second amended and restated by-laws provides that a stockholder may nominate one or more persons for election as directors or may bring other business at an annual meeting only if the stockholder has given written notice, either by personal delivery or certified mail, to our corporate secretary not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. Each notice must contain:
• | as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to the nominee required by the proxy rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected; | |
• | as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of the stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; | |
• | the name and address of the stockholder or beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, as they appear on WCI Communities, Inc.’s stock transfer books; | |
• | the class, series and number of WCI Communities, Inc. shares which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, if any; and | |
• | if the stockholder intends to solicit proxies in support of such stockholder’s proposal, a representation to that effect. |
Business brought before an annual meeting without complying with these provisions will not be transacted.
Liability of Officers and Directors |
Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that no director will be personally liable for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except:
• | for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; | |
• | for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
• | for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemptions; or | |
• | for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. |
Our restated certificate of incorporation provides that WCI Communities, Inc. shall indemnify any officer or director to the full extent permitted under Delaware law. We have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 is against public policy and is unenforceable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and | |

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. | |
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by the director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrants’ annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
