Beazer Homes Rejects $25.75-a-Share Dream Finders Offer, Citing 11% Cut From March Bid
7 articles · Updated · The Motley Fool · May 12
$25.75 a share was too low for Beazer Homes, which rejected Dream Finders' latest all-cash takeover offer and said it would keep pursuing its standalone plan.
An 11% reduction from Dream Finders' March 17 proposal helped drive the rejection, and Beazer also pointed to its most recently reported book value of $41.83 per share.
Beazer said it will sell $150 million of non-core assets as part of that strategy rather than accept the bid at about 0.61 times book value.
Shares of both companies fell after the decision, even as the proposed deal still appeared strategically sensible for Dream Finders.
