Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On
August 15, 2017, Green Brick Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “
Company
”), entered into a
Membership Interest Purchase and Contribution Agreement (the “
Agreement
”) with its subsidiary, JBGL
Ownership LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“
JBGL
”), JBGL’s newly formed subsidiary,
GB Challenger, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“
Subsidiary
”), The Challenger Group, Inc., a
Wyoming corporation (“
TCGI
”), TCG Holdings, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability
company (“
TCG
”), GTG Holdings, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company
(“
GTG
” and, together with TCGI and TCG, “
Challenger Homes
”) and Brian R.
Bahr (“
Bahr
”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Challenger Homes will sell to the
Company’s Subsidiary 49.9% of the membership and ownership interests in the subsidiaries of Challenger Homes named in
the Agreement (collectively, the “
Challenger Subsidiaries
”), to be held through Subsidiary, in
exchange for 1,497,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“
Shares
”). Also pursuant to the Agreement, Challenger Homes will acquire a 50.1% stake in
Subsidiary, and Challenger Homes and the Company will direct the operations of the Challenger Subsidiaries through
Subsidiary, with the Company as the minority stakeholder.
The
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “
Securities
Act
”), or any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons
absent registration under the Securities Act, or pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Company has offered and
sold the Shares to the six individual shareholders of Challenger Homes named in the Agreement (including Bahr) in reliance
upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated
thereunder (“
Regulation D
”). The Company relied, in part, upon representations from each of the
individuals that they are “accredited investors” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.

The
Company has entered into the Agreement with Challenger Homes, one of Colorado’s leading private homebuilders, and now the

and luxury patio homes, and is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Challenger Homes currently owns more than 1,800 home
sites and controls more than 4,000 lots.
