Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (the “Company”) announced today the early results of its previously announced cash tender offer (the “Offer”) for any and all of its $500 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 8.75% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”), and its concurrent consent solicitation (together with the Offer, the “Offer and Consent Solicitation”) to amend the indenture governing the Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and shorten the minimum notice period required for optional redemptions by the Company from 15 calendar days to two calendar days (the “Amendments”), in each case, upon the terms and conditions included in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated September 10, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”).

As of the consent deadline, which was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 23, 2019 (the “Consent Deadline”), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and related consents that have been validly tendered and delivered and not validly withdrawn or revoked was $465,333,000, representing 93.07% of the $500,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

As a result of obtaining consents from more than 50% of the outstanding Notes, the Company, the subsidiary guarantors and the trustee are entering into a supplemental indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”) to the indenture governing the Notes giving effect to the Amendments. The Supplemental Indenture will become effective immediately upon acceptance for purchase by the Company of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Consent Deadline, and will be binding on all holders of the Notes, even those who did not deliver a consent at or prior to the Consent Deadline.

The Offer and Consent Solicitation is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase, including (i) the receipt of at least $500 million in gross proceeds from one or more offerings of senior notes and borrowings under the Company’s new senior unsecured term loan, in each case, on terms acceptable to the Company and (ii) satisfaction of certain general conditions to the Offer and Consent Solicitation, in each case as described in more detail in the Offer to Purchase. If any of the conditions are not satisfied, the Company may terminate the Offer and Consent Solicitation and return tendered Notes, may waive unsatisfied conditions and accept for payment and purchase all validly tendered Notes, may extend the Offer and Consent Solicitation or may otherwise amend the Offer and Consent Solicitation.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer and Consent Solicitation being satisfied or waived, holders who validly tendered and did not withdraw Notes prior to the Consent Deadline will, if their Notes are accepted for purchase, receive the “Total Consideration” equal to $1,046.25 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. In addition to the Total Consideration, holders will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the most recent payment of semi-annual interest preceding the Early Settlement Date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. The Early Settlement Date is expected to be September 24, 2019.

The Withdrawal Deadline has passed. Accordingly, any validly tendered Notes and delivered consents may no longer be withdrawn or revoked.

The Company currently intends to redeem, as soon as practical after the Early Settlement Date, any Notes that remain outstanding following the Offer and Consent Solicitation in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. However, there is no requirement in the indenture or otherwise that the Company redeem any Notes, and unless redeemed, such Notes will continue to remain outstanding.

The complete terms and conditions of the Offer and Consent Solicitation are set forth in the Offer to Purchase that has been sent to holders of the Notes. Holders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase carefully.

The Company has engaged Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC to act as Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation.
