    SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meritage Homes (NYSE:MTH), the fifth-largest public homebuilder in the U.S., today announced the appointment of Erin Lantz as an independent director to its Board of Directors, effective October 14, 2024. Her appointment demonstrates the Company's commitment to ongoing board refreshment as it increases its size to 11 directors. The Board plans to consider Ms. Lantz for appointment to one or more board committees over the course of the next several regularly scheduled board meetings.

    Ms. Lantz brings to the Meritage Board over 20 years of leadership experience and extensive knowledge in technology-related offerings. She currently serves as Chief Revenue Officer for Ethos, a fintech company specializing in life insurance. Previously, Ms. Lantz was the Vice President and General Manager of Mortgages at Zillow Group, Inc., an online real estate database company, and Senior Vice President at Bank of America, where she led the Direct-to-Consumer purchase home loan business.

    Her public company director experience currently includes Blend Labs, Inc. (NYSE:BLND), a provider of digital banking solutions, where she chairs the Compensation Committee and serves on the Audit Committee. Ms. Lantz formerly served on the boards of TrueCar, Inc., a digital automotive marketplace, and Washington Federal, Inc., a bank holding company. She holds an MBA from Harvard University and received a bachelor's degree in Political Science, Philosophy and Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

    "We are pleased to welcome Erin to our Board," said Steven J. Hilton, executive chairman of Meritage Homes. "With her impressive background in the technology, real estate and mortgage sectors, her unique insights will further enhance our Board's depth of expertise and diversity of thought, while helping Meritage to continue advancing our position as a top five builder."

    "I am honored to join the Board of Meritage. I look forward to partnering with the Meritage directors and sharing my digitally-focused consumer and agent-facing platforms knowledge to help the Company navigate this important field," said Ms. Lantz.

    Additionally, the Company announced today that its Board has approved declassifying the Board of Directors and intends to ask stockholders to vote at the 2025 annual meeting on a proposal to approve amendments to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the phased declassification of the Board (the "Declassification Proposal"). The Declassification Proposal to declassify the Board is in response to feedback the Company has received from its stockholders that annually elected boards increase accountability of directors to a company's stockholders and that shifting from classified boards to the annual election of directors reflects governance best practices, as well as in furtherance of the Company's previously disclosed refreshment initiative to transition longer tenured directors over an orderly period of time.

    Other Information

    The Company plans to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and furnish to its stockholders, a proxy statement in connection with the Declassification Proposal. The Proxy Statement will contain important information about the Declassification Proposal as well as other matters. STOCKHOLDERS OF MERITAGE HOMES CORPORATION ARE URGED TO READ THESE MATERIALS (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY AND THE DECLASSIFICATION PROPOSAL. Stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of these documents and other documents filed with the SEC by the Company through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. In addition, stockholders will be able to obtain free copies of these documents from the Company by contacting the Company's Investor Relations by email at [email protected], or by going to the Company's website at https://investors.meritagehomes.com.

    Participants in the Solicitation

    The directors and executive officers of the Company may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Meritage Homes Corporation in connection with the Declassification Proposal. The following directors and executive officers of the Company are participants in the Company's solicitation: Steven J. Hilton, Executive Chairman, Phillippe Lord, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Dennis Arriola, Director, Peter L. Ax, Director, Dana Bradford, Director, Louis E. Caldera, Director, Deb Henretta, Director, Joseph Keough, Director, P. Kelly Mooney, Director, Michael R.

None of such participants owns in excess of 1% of the Company's common stock except for Steven J. Hilton. Mr. Hilton beneficially owns 1.1% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Additional information regarding the interests of participants in the solicitation of proxies in respect of the 2025 Annual Meeting will be included in the Proxy Statement.
