ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2007--Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) announced today that it has successfully completed its previously announced solicitation of consents from the holders of its $1.525 billion of outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Convertible Notes (the "Notes") to approve proposed amendments and a proposed waiver pursuant to the indentures under which the Notes were issued (the "Indentures").

Beazer received consents from holders of more than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of each series of the Notes. Beazer and the trustee have executed Supplemental Indentures amending the Indentures to effect the Proposed Amendments. The Supplemental Indentures amend the definition of Permitted Liens to restrict the ability of the Company to secure additional debt in excess of $700,000,000 until the Company has four consecutive fiscal quarters with a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0, after which time the limit will revert to the previous level of 40% of Consolidated Tangible Assets, and amend the definition of Permitted Investments to enable the Company to invest up to $50,000,000 in joint ventures or unrestricted subsidiaries. In accordance with the Indentures, the amendments are binding on all holders, including non-consenting holders.

The consents also provided Beazer with a waiver of any and all defaults under the Indentures that may have occurred or may occur on or prior to May 15, 2008 due to Beazer's failure to file or deliver reports or other information it would be required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Consent Solicitation provided that for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the Consent Fee is the product of $12.50 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the relevant series of Notes outstanding on the Consent Date, and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the relevant series of Notes as to which the Company has received and accepted consents prior to the Consent Date, subject to a cap equal to the maximum Consent Fee that would not cause a "significant modification" of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as determined in the good faith discretion of Beazer. Therefore, consenting Holders as of the record date, October 5, 2007, will receive the Consent Fee for Notes they held as of that date as specified below.
