Item 8.01 Other Events

Public Offering

On June 21, 2017, Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (the “Company”) announced the launch of an offering of 10,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock in a public offering (the “Public Offering”).

The Company intends to use all of the net proceeds that it receives from the Public Offering to purchase partnership units in its direct subsidiary – TMM Holdings II Limited Partnership – along with shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, held by its current equity sponsors that are affiliates of and funds managed by TPG Global LLC and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. The aggregate number of partnership units and corresponding shares of Class B common stock purchased by the Company will be equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock sold in the Public Offering.

On June 21, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the Public Offering. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

This Current Report does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of any security, in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Preliminary Results for the Two Months Ended May 31, 2017

In connection with the Public Offering, we reported that our average sales pace per community for the two months ended May 31, 2017 was 2.9 homes per month compared to 2.2 homes per month for the same period in 2016, representing a 31.8% increase year over year. In addition, our net sales orders for the two months ended May 31, 2017 were 1,736 compared to 1,397 in the prior year period, an increase of 24.3%. We currently expect home closings for the quarter ending June 30, 2017 to be approximately 1,800.

The preliminary average sales pace, net sales order and home closings data set forth above have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, our management. The foregoing information is preliminary and has not been compiled or examined by our independent auditors nor have our independent auditors performed any procedures with respect to this information or expressed any opinion or any form of assurance on such information. In addition, the foregoing information is subject to revision as we prepare our financial statements and other disclosures as of and for the three months ending June 30, 2017, including all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Because we have not completed our normal quarterly closing and review procedures for the three months ending June 30, 2017, and subsequent events may occur that require material adjustments to these results, the final results and other disclosures for the three months ending June 30, 2017 may differ materially from this information. This preliminary information should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as a measure of performance. In addition, these preliminary average sales pace, net sales order and home closings data for the two months ended May 31, 2017 or the quarter ending June 30, 2017, as applicable, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full quarter ending June 30, 2017 or any future period. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

As used in this Current Report, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” are to Taylor Morrison Home Corporation and its subsidiaries.
