Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 16, 2018, Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. (the "
Company") announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, K. Hovnanian Enterprises, Inc. ("K. Hovnanian"), has received the requisite consents to adopt the proposed amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the indenture governing K. Hovnanian's 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") and 10.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes," each of the 2022 Notes and 2024 Notes, a "Series" of Notes, and collectively, the "Notes") with respect to the 2024 Notes from holders of the 2024 Notes in connection with K. Hovnanian's previously announced solicitation of consents with respect thereto (the "Consent Solicitation"), which expired with respect to the 2024 Notes at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 12, 2018 (the "Expiration Date"). The Consent Solicitations are made in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions stated in a Consent Solicitation Statement, dated December 28, 2017 (the "Consent Solicitation Statement").
Following the receipt of the requisite consents with respect to the 2024 Notes, on January 16, 2018,
K. Hovnanian, the Company, as guarantor, the other guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent (in both such capacities, the "Trustee"), executed the Second
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of January 16, 2018 (the "Supplemental Indenture"), to the indenture governing the Notes, dated as of July 27, 2017 (as then supplemented, amended or otherwise modified, the "Indenture"), among K. Hovnanian, the Company, as guarantor, the other guarantors party thereto and the Trustee, giving effect to the Proposed Amendments solely with respect to the 2024 Notes. The Supplemental Indenture with respect to the 2024 Notes eliminates the restrictions on K. Hovnanian's ability to purchase, repurchase, redeem, acquire or retire for value K. Hovnanian's 7.000% Senior Notes due 2019 and 8.000% Senior Notes due 2019 and refinancing or replacement indebtedness in respect thereof contained in the Indenture. The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K ("Current Report") and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.03.

The information set forth above under Item 1.01 with respect to the Supplemental Indenture is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

The Company also announced that K. Hovnanian has modified the terms of the Consent Solicitation with respect to
the 2022 Notes, as set forth in a Supplement to the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated January 16, 2018 (the "Supplement"), to (i) extend the expiration date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 22, 2018 (such date and time, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, the "2022 Notes Expiration Date") and (ii) increase the consent consideration payable to holders of 2022 Notes to $5.00 per $1,000 principal amount of 2022 Notes for which consents have been validly delivered (and not validly revoked) prior to the 2022 Notes Expiration Date. The Consent Solicitation is being made in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions stated in the Consent Solicitation Statement.
A copy of the press release announcing the ex
piration of the Consent Solicitation and receipt of the requisite consents to the Proposed Amendments with respect to the 2024 Notes and the modification of the terms of the Consent Solicitation with respect to the 2022 Notes is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference into this Item 8.01.
