Dream Finders Homes has submitted a revised proposal to the board of directors of Beazer Homes to acquire all outstanding shares of Beazer in an all-cash transaction for $32.00 per share, a nearly 24% increase to its prior proposal dated May 5. This new proposal represents a premium of approximately 70% to Beazer's undisturbed share price of $18.77 on May 8 and a premium of approximately 56% to Beazer's undisturbed 30-day VWAP of $20.48 as of the same date. Dream Finders management stated that Beazer has now "introduced new roadblocks by demanding onerous preconditions to commencing due diligence" with Dream Finders. For example, Beazer has insisted that Dream Finders enter into a non-disclosure agreement with a 12-month standstill period. Dream Finders believes this is an attempt by Beazer to further delay engagement and impede the potential transaction.
