Dream Finders Homes (DFH) issued the following statement in response to a press release from Beazer Homes (BZH) regarding Dream Finders' revised proposal to acquire all outstanding shares of Beazer in an all-cash transaction for $32.00 per share, submitted privately to the Beazer board on June 30 and disclosed publicly to Beazer shareholders on July 8. "Dream Finders remains committed to pursuing a transaction that delivers compelling value for Beazer shareholders. The Company reiterates its willingness to execute an NDA with a limited standstill so the parties can commence due diligence and Dream Finders can confirm its best offer for shareholders. Importantly, any standstill must appropriately preserve Dream Finders' ability to engage with shareholders or nominate directors for election at Beazer's 2027 Annual Meeting. Beazer's claim that the confidentiality and standstill agreement they have asked us to sign is "customary" is not grounded in reality. A 12-month standstill is not necessary to conduct due diligence. Instead, it would prohibit our ability to re-engage shareholders after our diligence is concluded and would limit our optionality in pursuing a transaction that delivers significant, certain, and immediate value for all Beazer shareholders. Considering the Beazer Board's refusal to engage constructively to date, we view this as another attempt to impede a potential transaction. The terms of the standstill that we are requesting are intended solely to preserve Dream Finders' ability to re-engage Beazer's shareholders directly, to protect their interests, as a Beazer shareholder ourselves, and to prevent further value destruction under Beazer's current management team. Dream Finders also requests that the Beazer Board provide transparency around the expressions of interest from "additional parties" and whether these are comparable to Dream Finders' all-cash $32.00 per share offer with highly confident financing support." Patrick Zalupski, Dream Finders' chairman and CEO, said, "We have engaged with numerous Beazer shareholders, and there is broad agreement that a limited standstill, as we have already proposed, is appropriate and customary at this juncture. We remain committed to pursuing this transaction, which delivers immediate and compelling value for Beazer shareholders. We urge all shareholders to encourage the Beazer Board to remove its unreasonable preconditions on due diligence and engage constructively to pursue this compelling proposal."
