Beazer CEO Resolves SEC Clawback Claim

ATLANTA, March 3, 2011- Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (“Beazer” or the “Company”) announced today that its President and Chief Executive Officer, Ian J. McCarthy has reached a resolution with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission of the previously disclosed claim under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Under Section 304, where a public company corrects errors in its financial statements resulting from misconduct, the SEC can clawback for the company incentive cash and equity based compensation and stock profits earned by the company’s CEO, even if he did not engage in the misconduct. In resolving the claim against Mr. McCarthy, the SEC did not personally charge him with engaging in the underlying misconduct or allege that he otherwise violated the federal securities laws. Under the terms of the settlement, Beazer will receive approximately $6.5 million in cash plus certain vested and unvested shares of Beazer stock.

In May of 2008, Beazer restated its financial statements covering fiscal years 2002-2007. As previously disclosed, in 2008 and 2009 the company resolved the federal and state governmental investigations into misconduct involving these financial statements.
