Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Purchase Agreement

On May 9, 2017, Century Communities, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”) entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers named on Schedule A thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), with respect to a private offering of $400 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) at an issue price of 100%. The Notes were sold and issued in a private offering, exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The offering of the Notes closed on May 12, 2017 (the “Closing Date”). The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from the offering for the repayment of outstanding debt under its revolving credit facility, and to the extent not used for such purpose, the Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include among other things, working capital and acquisitions, including the previously announced merger transaction with UCP, Inc.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and the Guarantors, and customary closing conditions. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company and Guarantors have agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers and their controlling persons against certain liabilities or to contribute to payments the Initial Purchasers may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, in connection with the sale and issuance of the Notes, the Company and the Guarantors entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, with respect to the Notes. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to (i) file a registration statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), with respect to a registered offer to exchange the Notes for new notes of the Company having terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”), within 180 days after the Closing Date, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 240 days after the Closing Date, (iii) consummate the exchange offer as soon as practicable after the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, but in no event later than 270 days after the Closing Date, and (iv) keep the exchange offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer if required by applicable law). Under certain circumstances, including if the Company is unable to consummate an exchange offer within 270 days after the Closing Date, the Company may be required to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the Notes. If the Company defaults on certain of its requirements under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay under certain circumstances additional interest to the holders of the affected Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such default, with such rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all such defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 1.0% per annum.

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Indenture; 5.875% Senior Notes due 2025

On the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantors entered into an Indenture (the “Indenture”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), pursuant to which the Notes were issued.

The Notes will mature on July 15, 2025. Interest is payable on the Notes semi-annually in cash in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2017, and will accrue from the Closing Date.

The Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Company and are guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by the Guarantors. The Notes and the guarantees are subordinated to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured debt. In addition, the Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the Notes.

If the Company experiences certain change of control events, each holder of Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase such holder’s Notes at a cash purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of repurchase plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. The Notes will be redeemable on or after July 15, 2020 at certain specified redemption prices as set forth under the Indenture. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 100% of the Notes before July 15, 2020 at a make-whole premium, and up to 35% of the Notes before July 15, 2020, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings.

The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability and the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to: incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; create liens on assets; pay dividends or purchase or redeem its capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; enter into agreements restricting the ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends; make certain investments; sell assets; issue preferred stock; enter into transactions with its affiliates; or effect a consolidation or merger. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. Unless they are registered, the Notes may be offered only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.

The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Notes contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Indenture and the form of the Notes, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
