Item 8.01                     Other Events

 

On May 24, 2012, The Ryland Group, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it gave notice to all holders of its outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2013 (the “2013 Notes”) of a redemption in cash of all outstanding 2013 Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 6, 2006, (the “Supplemental Indenture”) by and among the Company, the guarantors named therein and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

The aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2013 Notes is $167,182,000.  The redemption date for the 2013 Notes will be July 2, 2012.  The redemption price for the 2013 Notes will be determined in the manner described in the Supplemental Indenture and will be the greater of:  (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2013 Notes being redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) on the 2013 Notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date, on a semiannual basis, at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) plus 30 basis points (0.30%) plus accrued interest to the redemption date.

 

On and after the redemption date, the 2013 Notes will no longer be deemed outstanding, interest will cease to accrue thereon, and all rights of the holder of the 2013 Notes will cease, except for the right to receive the redemption price, without interest thereon.

 

A copy of the press release announcing the call for redemption is filed as Exhibit 99 hereto.
