Upon the completion of the transaction, NWHM will become a privately held company and shares of NWHM common stock will no longer be listed on any public market. However, Apollo’s ability to provide flexible capital and their knowledge of the homebuilding industry will only allow NWHM to further accelerate the growth of their business.
“Over the last several years, we have transformed the company into a growing and diversified builder with operations in three states,” said H. Lawrence Webb, Executive Chairman of The New Home Company Board of Directors. “We have strengthened our balance sheet, streamlined our cost structure and repositioned our product offerings to cater to a deeper pool of buyers. Apollo’s ability to provide flexible capital and deep knowledge of the homebuilding industry will help us to accelerate the growth of our business."
The transaction will be financed with equity provided by the Apollo Funds and, if required, a committed debt financing package. It is expected to close in the second half of the fiscal year.
