KB Home (NYSE:KBH) today announced that it has upsized and priced an offering of $390 million in aggregate principal amount of its senior notes due 2031, representing an increase of $90 million in aggregate principal amount from the previously announced proposed offering size. The offering is being made under an existing shelf registration statement that KB Home previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The senior notes due 2031 will bear interest at a rate of 4.00% per annum and will be issued at a public offering price of 100.00%. The senior notes will be guaranteed on an unsecured basis by certain of KB Home's subsidiaries that have guaranteed KB Home's outstanding senior notes.

KB Home estimates the aggregate net proceeds from the offering to be approximately $385 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by KB Home. KB Home intends to use the net proceeds from the offering together with cash on hand, as needed, to purchase its 7.000% Senior Notes due 2021 tendered by holders and accepted by KB Home in its previously announced cash tender offer for such notes and, if it so elects at its option, the redemption or purchase at any time, or the payment in full at maturity, of any of the 7.000% Senior Notes due 2021 not purchased in the tender offer. KB Home intends to use any remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.

The closing of the offering is expected to occur on June 9, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and MUFG Securities Americas Inc. are acting as book-running managers for the offering.

our ability to use/realize the net deferred tax assets we have generated; our ability to successfully implement our current and planned strategies and initiatives related to our product, geographic and market positioning, gaining share and scale in our served markets and in entering into new markets; our operational and investment concentration in markets in California; consumer interest in our new home communities and products, particularly from first-time homebuyers and higher-income consumers; our ability to generate orders and convert our backlog of orders to home deliveries and revenues, particularly in key markets in California; our ability to successfully implement our business strategies and achieve any associated financial and operational targets and objectives, including those discussed in any of our public filings, presentations or disclosures;

the performance of KBHS Home Loans, LLC, our mortgage banking joint venture with Stearns Lending, LLC; information technology failures and data security breaches; an epidemic or pandemic (such as the outbreak and worldwide spread of the 2019 coronavirus disease ("COVID-19")), and the control response measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and/or health authorities implement to address it, which may (as with COVID-19) precipitate or exacerbate one or more of the above-mentioned and/or other risks, and significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period; widespread protests and civil unrest, whether due to political events, efforts to institute law enforcement and other social and political reforms, and the impacts of implementing or failing to implement any such reforms, or otherwise; and other events outside of our control.
