Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

On March 9, 2015, Shea Homes Limited Partnership (the “Company”) and Shea Homes Funding Corp. commenced an offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2023 and Senior Notes due 2025 (together, the “Notes”). The Notes will not be secured and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The Notes will be offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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 or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering to fund the consideration for the purchase of the $750 million outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 8.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Outstanding Senior Secured Notes”) in the Tender Offer (discussed below) and/or to redeem any and all of the outstanding senior secured notes that have not been accepted and paid for in the Tender Offer and to pay related expenses.

In addition, the Company announced that it has obtained commitments for a new three-year $175 million unsecured revolving credit facility that we intend to enter into concurrently with the closing of the Notes Offering (the “New Revolving Facility”). The New Revolving Facility will replace the Company’s existing $125.0 million secured revolving credit facility.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that Section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 9, 2015, the Company announced the commencement of a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of the Outstanding Senior Secured Notes (CUSIP/ISIN No. 82088KAB4/ US82088KAB44). In conjunction with the Tender Offer, the Company is soliciting consents to eliminate most of the covenants, certain events of default applicable to the Notes and certain other provisions contained in the indenture governing the Outstanding Senior Secured Notes. A copy of the press release announcing the Tender Offer and consent solicitation, and which describes the Tender Offer and consent solicitation in greater detail, is hereby incorporated by reference and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Description

99.1    Press Release dated March 9, 2015


This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements and information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, which are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “appear” and “project” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company and its subsidiaries are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events, are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions of future events that may not prove to be accurate. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors many of which are out of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ control and are difficult to forecast and that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that may be described or implied. Such factors include but are not limited to: changes in employment levels; changes in the availability of financing for homebuyers; changes in interest rates; changes in consumer confidence; changes in levels of new and existing homes for sale; changes in demographic trends; changes in housing demand; changes in home prices; elimination or reduction of the tax benefits associated with owning a home; litigation risks associated with home warranty and construction defect and other claims; and various other factors, both referenced and not referenced above, and included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from those described as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, planned or projected. Except as required by law, the Company and its subsidiaries neither intend nor assume any obligation to revise or update these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. Shea Homes the Company and its subsidiaries nonetheless reserve the right to make such updates from time to time by press release, periodic report or other method of public disclosure without the need for specific reference to this Current Report on Form 8-K. No such update shall be deemed to indicate that other statements not addressed by such update remain correct or create an obligation to provide any other updates.
