Aliso Viejo, CA, June 1, 2015 – The New Home Company Inc. (NYSE: NWHM) today announced that Joseph Davis, the company’s Chief Investment Officer, will step down from his role as an officer of the company, effective June 26, 2015. Mr. Davis is one of the company’s founders and has served as CIO since 2010. He will continue to serve as a consultant to the company under an agreement with an initial one-year term.
Mr. Davis commented, “I’ve enjoyed participating in the creation and growth of The New Home Company over the last five years. I look forward to continuing to work with the company on a number of initiatives, including the creation and development of innovative master planned communities.”
As part of the change in management, Wayne Stelmar, the company’s Chief Financial Officer and also a company founder, will assume the role of CIO, also effective June 26, 2015.
John Stephens, most recently the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of M. D. C. Holdings, Inc. since 2012, will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer concurrent with Mr. Stelmar assuming the position of CIO.
Prior to serving as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of M.D.C. Holdings Inc., Mr. Stephens was with Standard Pacific Corp., one of the country’s largest homebuilders for 10 years, and served as Chief Financial Officer from 2009 through 2011.
Larry Webb, the company’s CEO, Chairman and also a company founder, stated, “I am excited to announce these changes to our senior management team which will provide the company the infrastructure to accelerate its growth while continuing to execute its plan. The addition of Mr. Stephens will allow Mr. Stelmar to focus on the strategic growth of the company in its existing and potential new markets. Finally, the company will continue to benefit from Mr. Davis’ insight and industry relationships. I am excited about The New Home Company’s future and believe these management changes are extremely positive.”
