Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 26, 2021, TNHC Colorado Inc. (“TNHC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The New Home Company Inc. (the “Company”), entered into and closed a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Christina D. Presley and CDP Holdings, LLC, as sellers pursuant to which TNHC agreed to acquire all the membership interests of the Epic Companies (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), a residential homebuilder based in Denver, Colorado known as Epic Homes (the “Acquisition”).

The purchase price for the Epic Companies was approximately $8.4 million, $6.9 million of which was paid at closing with the balance to be paid in future installments. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on net book value of the Epic Companies’ assets on the date of closing and certain other obligations. The Acquisition Agreement includes various representations, warranties and covenants of the parties generally customary for a transaction of this nature.

The Company funded the Acquisition with cash on hand. Following the consummation of the Acquisition, the Company repaid approximately $24 million of the Epic Companies’ third-party indebtedness and purchased lots from a third party for approximately $4.3 million.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for the purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement and may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On March 1, 2021, the Company issued a press release (the “Acquisition Press Release”) announcing that it has acquired a privately held Denver-based homebuilder, Epic Homes. A copy of the Acquisition Press Release is furnished as 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
