Beazer Homes Announces Early Results of Tender Offer for 6.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2018

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Beazer Homes USA, Inc. BZH (the "Company") announced today the early results of its previously announced cash tender offer for any and all of its 6.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the "Notes"), upon the terms and conditions included in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 7, 2016.

As of the Early Tender Deadline, which was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 20, 2016, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn was $233,784,000, representing 77.93% of the $300,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

The tender offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase, including (1) the receipt of at least $300 million in gross proceeds from one or more offerings of senior notes on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company, and (2) certain general conditions, 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 tender offer and return tendered Notes, may waive unsatisfied conditions and accept for payment and purchase all validly tendered Notes, may extend the tender offer or may otherwise amend the tender offer.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the tender offer being satisfied or waived, holders who validly tendered and did not withdraw Notes prior to the Early Tender Deadline will, if their Notes are accepted for purchase, receive the "Total Consideration" equal to $1,018 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 21, 2016.

The Withdrawal Deadline has passed. Accordingly, any validly tendered notes may no longer be withdrawn or revoked. The tender offer will expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on October 5, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (such time and date, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, the "Expiration Time"). Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive the tender offer consideration equal to $988 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the most recent payment of semi-annual interest preceding the Final Settlement Date to, but not including, the Final Settlement Date. The Company currently expects the Final Settlement Date to be on or about October 5, 2016.

The Company currently intends to redeem, as soon as practical after the Early Settlement Date, any Notes that remain outstanding following the tender offer 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 tender offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal that have been sent to holders of the Notes. Holders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal carefully.
