New Home Co. has agreed to buy Landsea Homes in an all-cash transaction valued at about $1.2 billion.
The companies on Monday said New Home will acquire Landsea Homes for $11.30 per share, representing a premium of about 61% to the stock's closing price of $7.02.
The acquisition aims to create an asset-light, returns-focused homebuilder with almost 4,000 annual closings, the companies said.
Upon completion of the deal, Landsea Homes will become a privately held company. The combined company will be led by New Home Chief Executive Matthew Zaist.
The transaction is supported by $650 million in new cash equity from the Apollo Funds, which is managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management and is the majority shareholder of New Home.
The deal is expected to close early in the third quarter.
The combined company will offer homebuyers a range of options, including single-family detached and attached residences, across fast-growing markets in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Oregon, Texas and Washington, the companies said.
