Beazer Homes Announces Offer and Consent Solicitation for Any and All of its 8.75% Senior Notes Due 2022

Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (the “Company”) announced today that it has commenced a 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”). The Company concurrently announced that it is soliciting consents (together with the Offer, the “Offer and Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Notes to amend the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”) 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 “Consents”).

To the extent any Notes are not purchased through the Offer and Consent Solicitation, the Company currently intends to effect the redemption of such Notes and satisfy and discharge the Indenture as soon as practical after the early settlement date of the Offer and Consent Solicitation, which is expected to be September 24, 2019.

Information related to the Notes and the Offer and Consent Solicitation is set forth in the table below.

The Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on October 8, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (such time and date, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, the “Expiration Time”). In order to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as described below) for tendered Notes, holders must validly tender their Notes and deliver Consents before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 23, 2019 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Consent Deadline”), and not validly withdraw their tendered Notes or revoke the related Consents before such time.

The Offer and Consent Solicitation is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement relating to the Offer and the Consent Solicitation (the “Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement”), 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 the Consent Solicitation, in each case as described in more detail in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. 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.

The “Total Consideration” for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer and Consent Solicitation will be an amount equal to $1,046.25, payable in cash to holders that validly tender their Notes and deliver their Consents prior to the Consent Deadline, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Total Consideration set forth above includes a Consent Payment of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, payable only to holders that validly deliver and do not revoke their Consents prior to the Consent Deadline. Holders of Notes validly tendered after the Consent Deadline will not receive a Consent Payment.

The complete terms and conditions of the Offer and Consent Solicitation are set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement that is being sent to holders of the Notes. Holders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement carefully when it becomes available.
