On February 18, 2010, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California dismissed with prejudice a putative class action lawsuit filed against Pulte Homes Inc., Pulte Home Corp. and Pulte Mortgage, LLC. The lawsuit alleged, among other things, that Pulte engaged in misconduct that contributed to the mortgage crisis. The suit drew from reports issued by the Laborer's International Union of North America and other union-related groups that attempt to blame Pulte and other large homebuilders for the mortgage crisis. According to Pulte Homes, for some time, LiUNA and other union groups have engaged in an intimidation campaign against Pulte in order to coerce the Company to force its independent trade partners to sign union agreements. As part of that campaign, these union groups have been behind false claims that Pulte and other residential homebuilders engaged in improper practices with respect to the sale of homes. They have pressed these same false claims through official-looking, but misleading, reports, lawsuits, media articles and testimony before various State and Federal regulatory and rulemaking proceedings. The swift dismissal, which came only four months after the case was filed, was with prejudice, meaning that the Plaintiff's attorneys cannot amend their complaint.

Pulte Homes Inc. founder William J. Pulte, 77, will retire from the company and its board of directors, effective March 31, 2010. His position on the board will not be filled, leaving the board with 11 members. Pulte will remain a large shareholder. Pulte will serve as founder and chairman emeritus and remain a key adviser to the board.
