FAQ

What did KBH CEO Jeffrey Mezger report in this Form 4 filing?

Jeffrey Mezger reported vesting of performance-based stock units and related tax withholding. He received 249,005 KB Home common shares from PSU vesting and used 106,699 shares, returned to the issuer, to satisfy tax obligations arising from that grant.

How many KBH shares did the CEO acquire from PSU vesting?

He acquired 249,005 KB Home common shares through the vesting of previously granted performance-based restricted stock units. These PSUs were tied to multi-year metrics, including cumulative adjusted earnings per share, adjusted return on invested capital, and revenue growth versus a peer group.

Why were 106,699 KBH shares disposed of in this Form 4?

The 106,699 KB Home shares were delivered back to the issuer solely to cover tax withholding obligations from the PSU-related stock grant. This is a tax-withholding disposition, not an open-market sale, and is coded as an “F” transaction in the filing.

What performance period governed the vested KBH PSUs for the CEO?

The vested PSUs covered a three-year performance period from December 1, 2022 to November 30, 2025. Vesting depended on KB Home achieving specific targets for cumulative adjusted earnings per share, average adjusted return on invested capital, and revenue growth relative to a designated peer group.

How many KBH shares does the CEO hold after these transactions?

After the tax-withholding disposition, Jeffrey Mezger directly holds 1,894,234 KB Home common shares. This figure reflects the net shares remaining in his direct ownership following both the PSU-related stock grant and the associated share delivery to satisfy withholding taxes.

Are the KBH CEO’s PSU vesting conditions disclosed in this Form 4?

Yes. The footnotes explain that the management development and compensation committee determined vested shares based on KB Home’s cumulative adjusted earnings per share, average adjusted return on invested capital, and revenue growth performance relative to peers over the specified three-year period.
