Dream Finders Homes completed its acquisition of Beazer Homes USA on October 20, 2026, paying $33.50 in cash per Beazer share, for aggregate consideration of approximately $878.4 million and an enterprise value of approximately $2.2 billion. The deal was funded partly by $450.0 million from a second closing of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and $572.1 million from a land bank facility with Millrose Properties, which also repaid Beazer's $350 million 7.250% notes due 2029. The company expects over $100 million of annual run-rate cost synergies and double-digit percentage EPS accretion in year one, and it has committed to reducing leverage within 18 to 24 months.
Beazer shareholders received $33.50 in cash per share; aggregate consideration was approximately $878.4 million.
The company sold 450,000 Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shares for $450.0 million at the second closing, on October 20, 2026.
Land bank facility proceeds of $572.1 million were used to redeem Beazer's $350 million 7.250% Senior Notes due 2029 and repay its credit facility.

Dream Finders Homes entered subscription agreements on September 14, 2026, selling 225,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for $225.0 million, and used the proceeds to redeem its Series A preferred stock. The company also agreed to sell 450,000 more Series B shares at a second closing, contingent on completing its previously announced merger with Beazer Homes USA, Inc., which would fund part of the merger consideration. The preferred stock ranks senior to common stock on dividends and liquidation, carries a 12.00% cumulative dividend, and can convert to Class A common stock at a discount after six years, so it adds a senior claim and potential dilution for common shareholders.
