Summary
This 8-K filing from D.R. Horton, Inc. (DHI) on August 13, 2008, primarily reports the upcoming retirement of director Richard I. Galland. Mr. Galland is stepping down from the Board of Directors and its key committees (Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance) due to health-related reasons. His departure is effective immediately following the conclusion of the next quarterly meetings scheduled for November 20, 2008. While the departure itself is not a surprise due to the stated health reasons, investors may monitor the transition and any subsequent appointments to the board and its committees. This event, while notable at the individual director level, does not appear to signal any immediate operational or financial changes for D.R. Horton as of this filing date. Investors should continue to review DHI's financial performance and strategic direction in conjunction with any board-level changes.
