ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
CalAtlantic Group, Inc. (the Company) is issuing $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.000% Senior Notes due 2027 (the Notes).
The Notes will be issued under the indenture, dated as of April 1, 1999 (the Indenture), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor in interest to J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, Bank One Trust Company, N.A. and The First National Bank of Chicago), as trustee (the Trustee), as supplemented by a Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 9, 2017, among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto (the Guarantors) and the Trustee (the Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture). The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by the Guarantors on a senior unsecured basis.
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.000% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2017. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2027.
The Company may redeem any or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time. If the Company redeems the Notes prior to December 15, 2026, the redemption price will be equal to the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and (b) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the comparable treasury rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to the date of redemption. If the Company redeems the Notes on or after December 15, 2026, the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount being redeemed to the date of redemption.
Upon a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture), holders of the Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of their Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. A change of control triggering event occurs when both a change of control and a rating decline occur.
Pursuant to the terms of the Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture, the Company and its restricted subsidiaries will be subject to, among other covenants, restrictions on the incurrence of secured indebtedness, entering into sale and leaseback transactions and investing in unrestricted subsidiaries.
The Trustee is the trustee under the indentures governing the Companys other outstanding notes.
The foregoing description of the Notes and the Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Twenty-Eighth Supplemental Indenture (including the form of Notes), which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
