United Homes Group, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: UHG) today
announced the pricing of a secondary underwritten public offering
(the “Offering”) of 7,420,057 shares of the Company’s Class A
common stock (the “Offered Shares”) at a public offering price of
$5.00 per share. Of the Offered Shares, 1,448,200 are being
purchased by the Company’s Executive Chairman, the Company’s
Interim CEO, affiliates of Kennedy Lewis Agency Partners, LLC
(“Kennedy Lewis”) and certain other persons identified by
management, and the remainder are being purchased by institutional
investors.
The Offering consists entirely of shares to be issued by the
Company to holders (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the Company’s
convertible notes payable (the “Notes”) pursuant to a redemption of
the Notes (as described below) and is expected to close on December
11, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary
conditions. The underwriter will have a 30-day option to purchase
up to an additional 1,113,009 shares of Class A common stock (the
“Option Shares”) from the Selling Stockholders. The Company is not
selling any shares in the Offering and will not receive any
proceeds from the Offering.
In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Company will
redeem the Notes in exchange for an aggregate of $70,000,000, plus
accrued and unpaid interest on the total outstanding aggregate
principal amount of the Notes through the settlement date of cash
and 10,168,850 shares of Class A common stock (the “Exchanged
Shares”), including the Offered Shares and the Option Shares. The
Selling Stockholders have agreed with the Company to retain, and
not sell, the Exchanged Shares that are not sold in the Offering
for a period of 120 days, subject to customary exceptions. Assuming
the underwriter exercises its option to purchase the Option Shares
in full, the Selling Stockholders will retain an aggregate of
1,635,784 of the Exchanged Shares. The Company will finance the
redemption, in part, by entering into a credit agreement with Great
Southern Homes, Inc., Kennedy Lewis, as administrative agent, and
the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the
Lenders will fund a $70,000,000 subordinated loan. The closings of
the related refinancing transactions are also subject to the
satisfaction of certain customary conditions.
“We are pleased to announce the successful refinance of our
convertible debt. By simplifying our capital structure and
increasing our public float, we reduced the potential dilutive
impact of the convertible note while increasing institutional
stockholder ownership and lowering our annual interest expense
meaningfully. And by transitioning from a fixed to floating rate
benchmark, we expect further reductions in the Fed Funds rates will
continue to improve the Company’s profitability,” said Jamie
Pirrello, Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
“We thank Conversant for its early support on our journey to
becoming a public company, and appreciate its continued confidence
in the Company by remaining a large stockholder post-transaction.
We are also excited about our expanded partnership with Kennedy
Lewis. The flexible financing package they are providing across
debt and equity demonstrates its confidence in the Company’s
long-term prospects,” added Michael Nieri, Executive Chairman &
Director of the Company.
BTIG is acting as the sole book-running manager for the
Offering.
The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s
registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-280404) previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“Commission”) on June 21, 2024 and declared effective by the
Commission on July 3, 2024. A final prospectus supplement and
accompanying prospectus describing the terms of the Offering will
be filed with the Commission. You may get these documents for free
by visiting EDGAR on the Commission’s website at sec.gov.

About United Homes Group, Inc.
The Company is a publicly traded residential builder
headquartered in Columbia, SC. The Company focuses on southeastern
markets with 55 active communities in South Carolina, North
Carolina and Georgia.
The Company employs a land-light operating strategy with a focus
on the design, construction and sale of entry-level, first move-up
and second move-up single-family houses. The Company principally
builds detached single-family houses, and, to a lesser extent,
attached single-family houses, including duplex houses and town
houses. The Company seeks to operate its homebuilding business in
high-growth markets, with substantial in-migrations and employment
growth.
Under its land-light lot operating strategy, the Company
controls its supply of finished building lots through lot option
contracts with third parties, related parties, and land bank
partners, which provide the Company with the right to purchase
finished lots after they have been developed by the applicable
third party or related party. This land-light operating strategy
provides the Company with the ability to amass a pipeline of lots
without the same risks associated with acquiring and developing raw
land.
As the Company reviews potential geographic markets into which
it could expand its homebuilding business, it intends to focus on
selecting markets with positive population and employment growth
trends, favorable migration patterns, attractive housing
affordability, low state and local income taxes, and desirable
lifestyle and weather characteristics.
