ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2012-- Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) today announced that it has commenced separate exchange offers for (i) any and all of its 7.50% Mandatory Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”) and (ii) any and all of its 7.25% Tangible Equity Units (the “Units” and, together with the Notes, the “Subject Securities”). Under the terms of the offers, the Company will exchange the Subject Securities for newly issued shares of its common stock and cash in lieu of fractional shares. These exchange offers are intended to reduce indebtedness and lower interest expense.

The Notes Exchange Offer

For each $25 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted in the Notes exchange offer, the holder will receive 5.7348 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of today’s date, $57.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes is outstanding.

On January 15, 2013, the mandatory conversion date of the Notes, holders would receive up to a maximum of 5.4348 shares per Note, depending on the trading price of the Company’s common stock at such time. Accordingly, the Notes exchange offer allows tendering holders to receive the maximum number of shares of common stock they could receive on the mandatory conversion date, plus an additional 0.30 shares of common stock.

The Units Exchange Offer

For each Unit validly tendered and accepted in the Units exchange offer, the holder will receive 4.9029 shares of common stock. As of today’s date, 3,000,000 Units are outstanding.

Each unit is comprised of (i) a prepaid stock purchase contract and (ii) a senior amortizing note due August 15, 2013. As of today’s date, the amortizing notes have an aggregate principal balance of $8.9 million. At maturity, holders of the prepaid stock purchase contracts would automatically receive up to a maximum of 4.3029 shares per contract, depending on the trading price of the Company’s common stock at such time. Accordingly, the Units exchange offer allows tendering holders to receive the maximum number of shares of common stock they could receive at maturity, plus an additional 0.60 shares of common stock.

Additional Information

The exchange offers are scheduled to expire at 12:00 a.m., New York City time, on Monday, March 12, 2012, unless either is extended or terminated by the Company in its sole discretion. Tendered Subject Securities may be withdrawn at any time at or before, but not after, such time. The Company expects the settlement date to be promptly following the expiration date and is anticipated to be on March 14, 2012.

A registration statement relating to the exchange offers and the securities offered thereby has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) but has not yet become effective (the “Registration Statement”). The securities offered in the exchange offers may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective. The preliminary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement and the related letters of transmittal that are exhibits thereto set forth a complete description of the terms of the exchange offers. Holders of the Subject Securities are urged to read the preliminary prospectus and related letters of transmittal carefully before making any decision with respect to the exchange offers. Copies of the preliminary prospectus and related letters of transmittal may be obtained from the information agent for the exchange offers described below. The exchange offers are being made only by the prospectus and related letters of transmittal. Investors should read the prospectus because it contains important information. Investors can get such documents and other filed documents for free at the SEC’s web site (www.sec.gov) or by contacting the information agent described below.

Except as to the requirements that the Registration Statement be declared effective by the SEC and that there be no stop orders suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, which the Company will not waive, the Company may waive the conditions to either of the exchange offers set forth in the preliminary prospectus in its sole and absolute discretion. The exchange offers are not conditioned upon any minimum amount of the Subject Securities being tendered.

Subject to applicable law, the Company may extend or terminate either or both of the exchange offers at any time.

This press release is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the common stock in any state or other jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction where the laws require such offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the offers will be deemed to be made on behalf of the Company by one or more registered broker dealers under the laws of such jurisdiction.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC are acting as joint dealer managers for the exchange offers. D.F. King & Co., Inc. is serving as the information agent for the exchange offers. Persons with questions regarding the exchange offers should contact Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at (877) 531-8365 (toll free), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC at (800) 820-1653 (toll free) or D.F.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release that are not statements of historical fact, including statements related to the terms and timing of the exchange offers and the Company’s ability to achieve the stated purpose of the exchange offers, should be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “approximate,” “plan,” “goal” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and holders of the Subject Securities should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes these statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in the Prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors” and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2011 under the heading “Risk Factors.” This list of factors is not exhaustive, however, and these or other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its results of operations. Therefore, holders of the Subject Securities should consider these risk factors with caution and form their own critical and independent conclusions about the likely effect of these risk factors on the Company’s future performance. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which the statements are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement for any reason, even if new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. Holders of the Subject Securities should carefully review the disclosures and the risk factors described in the prospectus and other documents the Company files from time to time with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth herein.

4. Equal Housing Opportunity

Beazer Homes and its affiliated companies are pledged to the letter and spirit of the U.S. policy for the achievement of equal housing opportunity throughout the nation. We encourage and support affirmative advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, gender, handicap, familial status, or national origin.

5. Equal Opportunity Employer

Beazer Homes is an equal opportunity employer, and considers all applicants without regard to race, color, sex, religion, disability, marital status, age, national origin, or any other legally protected status.

6. Mortgage Choice

Beazer Homes allows customers to seek information regarding financing for a home purchase by allowing customers to provide information to potential lenders and mortgage loan originators (“Lenders”) through the use of the Mortgage Choice program pages and the CompARE technology. Beazer Homes is not a Lender, mortgage broker, loan originator, loan processor, or underwriter. Beazer Homes does not aid or assist borrowers in obtaining loans, solicit borrowers or Lenders for loans, offer or negotiate terms of loans, or make loans or credit decisions in connection with loans. Beazer Homes does not take applications for credit or issue pre-approval letters. Any request for quotes or pre-approval submitted by a customer to a Lender through the CompARE technology is not an application for credit. Beazer Homes does not endorse or recommend the products of any particular lender. The “Choice Lenders” listed in the Mortgage Choice program and in the CompARE technology are independent entities and there is no affiliation between Beazer Homes and the Choice Lenders. Nothing contained in the Mortgage Choice program is an offer to lend or a commitment for a loan, and Beazer Homes does not guarantee any specific loan terms and conditions offered to you by a Lender will be granted, or that you will be offered any type of loan by any Lender. Beazer Homes is not an agent of either any customer or any Lender. Beazer Homes is only providing an administrative service to customers and participating lenders.

The CompARE technology is designed to assist home buyers in comparing loan estimates they receive from Lenders after home buyers submit loan applications to those Lenders. The CompARE technology analyzes those disclosures and provides comparison points to help the home buyer decipher which Lender is offering the best mortgage based on the home buyer’s preferences and costs to obtain the mortgage. Beazer Homes will not counsel home buyers in making loan estimate comparisons or selecting a Lender.

Beazer Homes does not require use of a Choice Lender in order to purchase a home, and home buyers are free to choose any lender. Beazer Homes does not (and will not) accept or receive compensation of any kind in connection with the Mortgage Choice program or the CompARE technology.

Lenders may elect to respond to your requests with non-binding proposals of the terms they would offer you, as well as their contact information. Beazer Homes also allows customers to request that Lenders pre-qualify them for home loans. Qualification for pre-approval does not constitute an offer to lend, a commitment for a loan, or a guarantee of specific rates or terms. If you, as a customer, choose to contact a Lender through the Mortgage Choice program, you authorize Beazer Homes to provide your name and contact information you provide to the Lender(s) you choose, along with your quote or pre-qualification request. You acknowledge that, by submitting your contact request form through Mortgage Choice, you may receive telemarketing calls from or on behalf of the Lender you choose at the telephone number(s) you provide.

Any loan or other business conducted is between you and the Lender. Lenders participating in Mortgage Choice are solely responsible for their services. Beazer Homes is not responsible for any errors or delays caused by customers or any Lenders in the loan process. When a Lender requests to participate in Mortgage Choice, Beazer Homes uses commercially reasonable efforts to confirm the Lender's license (in the states claimed in the Lenders profile) and/or employment with a lending institution. You are responsible, however, to confirm credentials if you choose to contact the Lender.

Beazer Homes assumes no responsibility for any result or consequence related directly or indirectly to any action or inaction that customers take based on use of Mortgage Choice and the CompARE technology. Beazer Homes shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way connected with participation in the Mortgage Choice program and any use of the CompARE technology or the services offered by Lenders. Beazer Homes reserves the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to discontinue, suspend, or terminate the Mortgage Choice program or the CompARE technology or participation of any Lender or other user from the Mortgage Choice program and the CompARE technology.

Charity Title Agency, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Charity Title Group, LLC, which is ultimately owned by Beazer Homes. Charity Title Agency, LLC operates as a title insurance agency in the State of Texas. Beazer Homes does not require use of Charity Title Agency, LLC in order to purchase a home, and home buyers are free to choose any title insurance agency.

Information Collected Through Technology.  Primarily to tailor the Website to your needs, Beazer Homes collects information using technology, such as IP addresses and cookies. For example, your IP address provides Beazer Homes with non-personally identifiable information about how you entered the Internet, namely through your Internet service provider, your company, or some other source, and can permit Beazer Homes to identify the frequency with which you visit the Website. Standard features in Internet browser software such as "cookies" allow Websites to track certain user activities by assigning each of our visitors a unique number that resides on your computer. Beazer Homes uses cookies to make the Website more interesting and useful, including, in the following ways: (a) to personalize our services, such as remembering your information so that you will not have to re-enter it during your visit or the next time you visit the Website; (b) provide customized third party advertisements, content, and information; (c) monitor and analyze the effectiveness of the Website and third party marketing activities; (d) monitor aggregate site usage metrics such as total number of visitors and pages viewed; and (e) track your entries, submissions, and status in any promotions or other activities.

Beazer Homes cookies are limited to our Websites only. In addition to Beazer Homes cookies, various third parties may also place cookies on your computer's hard drive when visiting this website. While Beazer Homes does not track its customers across other websites, we do use advertising companies to serve ads after you visit our Website while you are visiting other websites. These companies may collect information about your visits to our Website and other websites and/or apps in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Beazer Homes is not responsible for the technological capabilities or practices employed by third parties in connection with third party cookies.

If you would prefer not to have the benefits of cookies, your internet browser or other third party software on your workstation can be adjusted to treat cookies in different ways.

Beazer Homes does not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals.

4. Information Sharing

Sharing of personal information between Affiliates.  Beazer Homes is made up of a number of companies (“Affiliates”). Beazer Homes may share with and between its Affiliates personal information you provide to Beazer Homes or any of its Affiliates.

Non-Affiliates/Associates/Joint Marketing.  We also share personal information with our “Associates” - third parties that we have partnered with to share in the development or management of a community. Our Associates are third parties that are not affiliated with us and who perform services or functions on behalf of Beazer Homes or its Affiliates (such as accountants, attorneys, management companies, credit bureaus and banks). They are required to hold the personal information we provide to them in confidence, and use the personal information only to provide the services we’ve hired them to perform for us or for you. We may provide personal information about you to trusted companies pursuant to a written agreement with them when we jointly market our services to you. An example of this would be if a company wanted to offer insurance services in your community. The written agreement requires that they use your personal information only for the purposes of the joint marketing and that they not share it with others.

We do not sell any customer lists that contain your personal information.

Marketing.  We also share personal information with third parties that we have partnered with to market Beazer Homes. They are not affiliated with us and perform services or functions on behalf of Beazer Homes. They are required to hold the personal information we provide to them in confidence, and use the personal information only to provide the services we’ve hired them to perform for us pursuant to a written agreement. An example of this would be to perform a marketing match back to gauge success of a direct mail marketing campaign.

Other Circumstances.  We may disclose your personal information as you consent or direct. We may disclose your personal information to third parties as required by law. For example, we may disclose your personal information in connection with a subpoena or other legal process, in an audit, or when we record your mortgage or deed in public records. We reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we, in good faith, believe to be unlawful, or in the interest of national security, law enforcement activities, or other issues of health and safety as reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. We may share information to prevent illegal uses of the Website, or defend ourselves against third-party claims. We may also share information with companies assisting in fraud protection or investigation. We do not provide information to these agencies or companies for marketing or commercial purposes.

We may also transfer user or customer information, including personally identifiable information, in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a divestiture, merger, consolidation, or asset sale.

5. Updating Contact Information and Opt-Out Choices
