ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

On March 28, 2013, Meritage Homes Corporation executed amendments to the employment agreements for Steve J. Hilton, Larry W. Seay, C. Timothy White and Steven Davis. The amendments memorialize changes made for 2013 (and any subsequent renewal terms) to the annual cash incentive bonus formulas provided to each of Messrs. Hilton, Seay, White and Davis pursuant to their respective employment agreement. Each executive’s bonus will continue to be expressed as a percentage of the Company’s actual EBITDA (subject to specified exclusions) and the performance targets for achieving such incentive bonuses will continue to be based on the Company’s actual return on assets and return on equity (subject to specified adjustments). Under the amended agreements, however, the Company’s return on assets and return on equity (subject to specified exclusions) will be measured against the Company’s budgeted return on assets and return on equity, as opposed to the prior formula that measured the Company’s results against the results of a public homebuilder peer group.

Copies of the amendment to each executive’s employment agreement are filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
