Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

The following letter, which was sent by FedEx to William J. Pulte by Board Director Patrick J. O’Leary on June 9, 2016, is being filed to address misconceptions that may have been created by Mr. Pulte’s letter to shareholders issued as a press release earlier today (Mr. Pulte did not reference this June 9 letter in the recounting of the correspondence in his letter).

6/9/16

Mr. Bill Pulte

6515 Thomas Jefferson Court

Naples, FL 34108

Dear Bill:

Thank you for providing the names of your candidates for consideration as PulteGroup’s next CEO. I have shared your letter with our full Board and with Heidrick & Struggles (H&S), one of the world’s top executive search firms that we have retained to assist us in the search process.

I want to point out that all CEO candidates will be evaluated against established criteria of desired knowledge skills and experiences. Consistent with our ongoing succession planning, the selection criteria have been developed over the past several years with extensive input from an independent consulting group separate and apart from H&S. The individuals you have submitted will be given appropriate consideration against these criteria.

While I appreciate your stated desire as to the timing of any subsequent interview(s), we plan to run a comprehensive search to ensure the individual selected as CEO is best for the company and all of its shareholders. You should expect this search and selection process will take time to complete. Working with H&S, we need to assemble and, based on the criteria, cull the list of potential external and internal candidates; contact these individuals to determine their level of interest and complete their bios; schedule and conduct first and, as needed, second interviews; and finally negotiate the terms of the hiring agreement. All this takes time, especially when the process is conducted during the summer.

Finally, you can be assured that the committee and the Board plan to run a thorough, but highly confidential search process. As such, I want to be upfront in saying that it is the role of the Board to select PulteGroup’s next CEO, so your involvement must be limited to this request for candidate names. We will, however, let you know if we need any additional information on these individuals, as appropriate.

Please know that you have my personal assurance that the search process is being conducted in an open-minded and appropriate manner with the best interests of our shareholders in mind.

I think we can both appreciate that this has been a stressful period for everyone, but I do hope that you are finding some time to enjoy the summer.

Best regards,

/s/ Patrick O’Leary

Patrick J. O’Leary

Board Director
