<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On August&nbsp;18, 2009, Pi Nevada Building Company (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Pulte Homes, Inc., a Michigan corporation (&#147;Pulte&#148; or the &#147;Registrant&#148;), merged with and into
Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation (&#147;Centex&#148;), with Centex continuing as the surviving
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pulte (the &#147;Merger&#148;), pursuant to the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of April&nbsp;7, 2009 (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;), by and among Pulte, Merger Sub
and Centex. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each
outstanding share of Centex common stock (other than those shares held by Pulte or Merger Sub, and
other than treasury shares) was converted into the right to receive 0.975 of a share of common
stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Pulte (&#147;Pulte common stock&#148;).
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, all of the obligations
of Centex under the Centex Corporation Saving for Retirement Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;) were assumed by
Pulte. This Registration Statement is being filed to register 400,000 shares of Pulte common stock
and an indeterminate number of participation interests to be issued under the Plan.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;561 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, or the MBCA, permits a Michigan
corporation to indemnify any director or officer of the corporation (as well as other employees and
individuals) that was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of his or her position with,
or service to, the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, penalties,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its
shareholders, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if the person had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;562 of the MBCA permits
similar indemnification by the corporation in the case of actions or suits by or in the right of
the corporation, except that (a)&nbsp;the permitted indemnification does not extend to judgments,
penalties and fines, and (b)&nbsp;court approval is required before there can be any indemnification
where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Section&nbsp;563 of
the MBCA provides that, to the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been
successful in the defense of an action, suit or proceeding described above, or in the defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation is required to indemnify him or her against
actual and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, incurred by him or her in connection
therewith.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant&#146;s Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that directors of the Registrant
shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for
breach of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty. However, Pulte&#146;s Restated Articles of Incorporation do
not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any of the following: (a)&nbsp;acts or omissions
not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; (b)&nbsp;a
violation of Section&nbsp;551(1) of the MBCA; (c)&nbsp;a transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit; or (d)&nbsp;an act or omission occurring before the effective date of the
Articles. In addition, the Registrant&#146;s by-laws generally provide that the Registrant shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
(whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the Registrant&#146;s request
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Registrant has obtained a Directors&#146; and Officers&#146; liability insurance policy, which

Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
On August 18, 2009, Pi Nevada Building Company ("Merger Sub"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Pulte Homes, Inc., a Michigan corporation ("Pulte" or the "Registrant"), merged with and into
Centex Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Centex"), with Centex continuing as the surviving
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pulte (the "Merger"), pursuant to the Agreement and
Plan of Merger, dated as of April 7, 2009 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Pulte, Merger Sub
and Centex. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each
outstanding share of Centex common stock (other than those shares held by Pulte or Merger Sub, and
other than treasury shares) was converted into the right to receive 0.975 of a share of common
stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Pulte ("Pulte common stock").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, all of the obligations
of Centex under the Centex Corporation Saving for Retirement Plan (the "Plan") were assumed by
Pulte. This Registration Statement is being filed to register 400,000 shares of Pulte common stock
and an indeterminate number of participation interests to be issued under the Plan.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 561 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, or the MBCA, permits a Michigan
corporation to indemnify any director or officer of the corporation (as well as other employees and
individuals) that was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative,
other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of his or her position with,
or service to, the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, penalties,
fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its
shareholders, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if the person had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Section 562 of the MBCA permits
similar indemnification by the corporation in the case of actions or suits by or in the right of
the corporation, except that (a) the permitted indemnification does not extend to judgments,
penalties and fines, and (b) court approval is required before there can be any indemnification
where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Section 563 of
the MBCA provides that, to the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been
successful in the defense of an action, suit or proceeding described above, or in the defense of
any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation is required to indemnify him or her against
actual and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by him or her in connection
therewith.
The Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that directors of the Registrant
shall not be personally liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages for
breach of the director's fiduciary duty. However, Pulte's Restated Articles of Incorporation do
not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any of the following: (a) acts or omissions
not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; (b) a
violation of Section 551(1) of the MBCA; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an
improper personal benefit; or (d) an act or omission occurring before the effective date of the
Articles. In addition, the Registrant's by-laws generally provide that the Registrant shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
(whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person
is or was a director or officer of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the Registrant's request
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust
or other enterprise.
The Registrant has obtained a Directors' and Officers' liability insurance policy, which
provides for coverage for liabilities under the Securities Act, including for prior acts dating to
the Registrant's inception.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement;
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the
II-4
Table of Contents
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if
the Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
