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

(e) On December 12, 2007, Standard Pacific Corp. (the “Company”) amended both its Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2002 Plan”) and its 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “2005 Plan”) in order to partially terminate both Plans and to make accelerated distributions in 2008 to certain officers and employees participating in the Plans. Other than for certain officers and directors who qualified for retirement under the Plans (including Stephen J. Scarborough, Scott D. Stowell, Douglas C. Jacobs, Larry D. McNabb and Jeffrey V. Peterson for whom payments will not be accelerated), distributions under the 2002 Plan will be made on January 1, 2008, and distributions under the 2005 Plan generally will be made on July 1, 2008, unless a payment was scheduled to be made on an earlier date. Deferred restricted stock and other deferred equity awards under the Plans will not be distributed on an accelerated basis. Also, the 2005 Plan was amended to suspend future deferrals of compensation on January 1, 2008. The amendments to the 2002 Plan and the 2005 Plan are respectively filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
