Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On May 7, 2014, Forestar USA (“Forestar USA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Forestar Group (“Forestar”), and the guarantors named therein, entered into a purchase agreement with the several initial purchasers named therein, relating to the sale by Forestar USA of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.500% senior secured notes due 2022 at an issue price of 100.000% (the “notes”). Subject to customary closing conditions, the sale of the notes is expected to close on or about May 12, 2014.

 

The notes will be issued in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) solely to qualified institutional buyers, as defined under Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons, as defined under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes will be unsubordinated obligations of Forestar USA and will be guaranteed by Forestar and each of Forestar’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facility, subject to certain exceptions. The notes and related guarantees will be secured by a second priority lien on Forestar USA’s and the guarantors’ existing and future assets, including pledges of Forestar USA’s equity interests and the equity interests of certain of its subsidiaries, that also secure its senior secured credit facility.

 

Forestar intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay and retire all of the amounts outstanding under the term loan portion of its senior secured credit facility and to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include investments in strategic growth opportunities.

 

The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This Current Report is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein. The proposed offering of the notes is subject to certain market and other conditions and may not occur as described or at all.

 

A copy of the press release announcing pricing of the notes is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
