Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) On February 17, 2017, General William Lyon notified William Lyon Homes, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of his resignation as a director of the Company, effective February 17, 2017. General Lyon’s resignation as a director of the Company was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the operations, policies or practices of the Company. General Lyon has been an extremely valuable member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), as well as the Board of Directors of its predecessor, including serving as Chairman of the Board of the Company’s predecessor since 1987 and in that capacity for the Company from 1999 to March 2016, and the Company expresses its appreciation for General Lyon’s many years of service in such capacities. The Board determined that General Lyon will continue to be invited to attend Board meetings in a non-voting role as a Board observer, as appropriate. Further, the Board elected to have General Lyon continue to serve in his current employee position of Chairman Emeritus of the Company.
