Junior Subordinated Debt Transaction
     
Item 1.01.
  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Item 2.03.
  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
                         On May 4, 2006, Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (the “Company”) closed on a privately placed 30-year, $30 million junior subordinated note (the “Note”) offering with a five year fixed rate coupon of 9.72%. The Note was issued and sold pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2006, by and between the Company and Kodiak Warehouse LLC and an Indenture, dated as of May 4, 2006, by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. The proceeds were used in connection with the May 5, 2006 acquisition of Capitol Homes, Inc. and to retire substantially all of Capitol’s outstanding debt ( as discussed in further detail below).
                         On May 9, 2006, the Company issued a press release regarding the junior subordinated debt transaction. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Acquisition of Capital Homes, Inc.
     
Item 1.01.
  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement;
Item 2.01.
  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets; and
Item 2.03.
  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
                         On May 5, 2006 (the “Closing Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Capitol Homes, Inc. (“Capitol Homes”). The transaction was consummated pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on May 1, 2006 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) among the Company, Capitol Homes and the stockholders of Capitol Homes (the “Sellers”).
                         Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date the Company paid $7 million in cash, paid off approximately $1.9 million in indebtedness and other obligations of Capitol Homes to the Sellers and certain third parties, and paid or assumed approximately $12 million of indebtedness of Capitol Homes in consideration for the stock of Capitol Homes. The Company also acquired an additional parcel of real estate from an affiliate of the Sellers for approximately $4.4 million. In accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, $2 million of the cash consideration was deposited into escrow with a third-party escrow agent, to be held until March 31, 2009 (with portions of the escrow fund subject to release over time on an incremental basis on March 31, 2007, May 5, 2007, March 31, 2008, and May 5, 2008) pursuant to an Escrow Agreement to satisfy possible indemnification claims made by the Company under the Stock Purchase Agreement.
                         The indebtedness of Capitol Homes assumed by the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement consists of promissory notes payable to one lender. The Company does not believe that any of these debt obligations, taken individually, are material to the

 


 

Company. The loan agreements evidencing the assumed debt obligations contain customary default and acceleration terms.
                         On May 9, 2006, the Company issued a press release regarding the acquisition of Capitol Homes. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
