In connection with the announcement of a private

) as described in Item 8.01 of this Report, William Lyon Homes (
Parent
) is disclosing certain
information to prospective investors in a preliminary offering memorandum dated March 6, 2018 related to the issuance of the 2023 Notes (the
Preliminary Offering Memorandum
). Parent is filing as Exhibit 99.1 certain
excerpts from the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form
8-K,
the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act
), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act
), or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Launch of Notes Offering
On March 6, 2018, Parent issued a press release announcing that it had commenced a private offering (the
Offering
) to eligible purchasers of the 2023 Notes through its wholly owned subsidiary, William Lyon Homes, Inc., a California corporation (
California Lyon
). In accordance with Rule 135c of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act
), a copy of this press release is being filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this report and accordingly, this notice is not intended to and does not constitute an offer to
sell nor a solicitation for an offer to purchase any securities of Parent or of California Lyon.
The 2023 Notes have not been registered
under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities
laws.
As previously announced on February 20, 2018, California Lyon entered into definitive agreements to acquire RSI Communities
LLC (
RSI
) and certain additional related real estate assets (collectively, the
Acquisition
). Parent intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering (i) together with approximately
$200.0 million in cash generated from certain land banking arrangements and cash on hand, to finance the Acquisition, and to pay related fees and expenses and (ii) to repay all $150.0 million in aggregate principal amount of
California Lyons 5.75% Senior Notes due 2019. The Acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, subject to certain closing conditions.
Historical consolidated financial information of RSI is attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this report and incorporated by reference herein. The
historical consolidated financial information of RSI attached hereto does not reflect the results of operations or financial condition of the additional related real estate assets to be acquired in connection with the Acquisition.
