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

(e) On February 9, 2010, the Management Development and Executive Compensation Committee of Forestar Group Inc. (the “Company”) determined that rather than adopt a separate supplemental incentive plan related solely to the successful completion in 2009 of significant transactions arising out of the Company’s previously-announced near-term initiatives to enhance shareholder value, it amended the existing annual cash incentive bonus program for 2009 as follows: (1) the financial impact of the Company’s previously-announced near-term strategic initiatives to enhance stockholder value will be included in calculating return of assets (“ROA”) for purposes of the incentive program; (2) the bonuses for executive officers will be paid one-third in cash and two-thirds in the form of a restricted stock award that vests one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant; and (3) the Compensation Committee will have the discretion to increase or decrease bonuses to executive officers based on individual performance and contributions to the Company’s strategic initiatives. For a description of the other material terms of the Company’s annual incentive bonus program, see the description under “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — How is each element of compensation determined? — How are annual cash incentive bonuses determined?” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2009.
