Information regarding the persons who may, under the rules of the SEC, be considered to be participants in the solicitation of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Merger will be set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement for its stockholder meeting at which the Merger will be submitted for approval by the Company’s stockholders. You may also find additional information about the Company’s directors and executive officers in the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K/A, which was filed with the SEC on April 29, 2026 (available here), under the sections “Director Compensation,” “Executive Compensation,” “Security Ownership of Management and Certain Beneficial Owners” and “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”. To the extent holdings of the Company’s securities by its directors or executive officers have changed since the amounts set forth in such proxy statement, such changes have been or will be reflected on Initial Statements of Beneficial Ownership on Form 3 or Statements of Changes in Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 4 filed with the SEC. Updated information regarding the identity of participants and their direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Company will be set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to be filed with the SEC, if and when they become available. These documents will be available free of charge as described above.\n\nNo Offer or Solicitation\n\nThis Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to buy or sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, such registration requirements.\n\nForward Looking Statements\n\nThis Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of the Company’s senior management based on the Company’s current estimates, expectations, forecasts and projections and include comments that express the Company’s current opinions about trends and factors that may impact future results. Disclosures that use words such as “believe,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “plan,” “expect,” “project” or the negative of these, as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results in future periods to differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. There is no assurance that the Merger will be consummated, and there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: (1) the inability to consummate the Merger within the anticipated time period, or at all, due to any reason, including the failure to obtain stockholder approval to adopt the Merger Agreement, the failure to obtain any required regulatory approvals for the Merger, including the termination or expiration of any required waiting periods, or the failure to satisfy the other conditions to the consummation of the Merger; (2) the risk that the Merger Agreement may be terminated in circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee; (3) the risk that the Merger disrupts the Company’s current plans and operations or diverts management’s attention from its ongoing business; (4) the effect of the announcement of the Merger on the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with those with whom it does business; (5) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Merger on the Company’s operating results and business generally; (6) the significant costs, fees and expenses related to the Merger; (7) the risk that the Company’s stock price may decline significantly if the Merger is not consummated; (8) the nature, cost and outcome of any litigation and other legal proceedings, including any such proceedings related to the Merger and instituted against the Company and/or its directors, executive officers or other related persons; (9) other risks that could affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations, including those set forth in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent filings, and (10) other risks to the consummation of the Merger. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results,\n\nperformance or achievement, or industry results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and other filings with the SEC. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in the context of the various disclosures made by the Company about its businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the SEC.\n\nIf the Merger is consummated, the Company’s stockholders will cease to have any equity interest in the Company and will have no right to participate in its earnings and future growth. These and other factors are identified and described in more detail in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as the Company’s subsequent filings and is available online at www.sec.gov. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof. Except as required by applicable law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.\n\nSIGNATURE\n\nPursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.\n\n \n\n \nKENNEDY-WILSON HOLDINGS, INC.\n\nBy:\n \n\n/s/ Justin Enbody\n\nName:\n \nJustin Enbody\n\nTitle:\n \nSenior Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer\n\nDate: May 14, 2026"}
