An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors and all of the other information included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, including those in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and in our other filings with the SEC, in evaluating an investment in our securities. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common or preferred stock or value of our debt or other securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. When we offer and sell any securities pursuant to a prospectus supplement, we may include additional risk factors relevant to such securities in the prospectus supplement.
Risks Related to the Common Stock
Future sales of shares of our common stock could cause the market value of our common stock to decline and could result in dilution of your shares.
A substantial majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act unless these shares are owned or purchased by affiliates as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and shares reserved for future issuance under our incentive stock plan will be eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by applicable vesting requirements and, in some cases, subject to compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. As a result, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under the securities laws.
Any sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market by large stockholders or otherwise, or the perception that these sales might occur, could lower the market price of our common stock. Further, if we issue additional equity securities to raise additional capital, our stockholders ownership interest in our company may be diluted and the value of their investment may be reduced. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future sales of our common stock, or the availability of our common stock for future sales, on the market price of our common stock.
The price of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are:
• | our operating and financial performance and prospects and the performance of other similar companies; |
• | quarterly variations in the rate of growth of our financial indicators, such as earnings per share, net income and revenues; |
• | changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports by analysts; |
• | additions or departures of key personnel; |
• | material announcements by us or our competitors; |
• | speculation in the press or investment community; |
• | actions by institutional investors or by stockholders; |
• | the market’s perception of our prospects and the prospects of the homebuilding industry in general; |
• | general market, economic and political conditions, including an economic slowdown or dislocation in the global credit markets; and |
• | passage of legislation or other regulatory developments that adversely affect us or the homebuilding industry. |
The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility in recent years that has at times been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and, as a result, an investment in our common stock.
3
We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.
We currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business and, therefore, do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in any financing instruments and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. The agreements governing our 6.875% Senior Notes due 2026 (the Senior Notes) and our revolving credit facility also include limitations on our payment of dividends. Accordingly, our stockholders may have to sell some or all of their common stock in order to generate cash flow from or realize a return on their investment in our common stock. Our stockholders may not receive a gain on their investment when they sell their common stock and they may lose the entire amount of the investment.
Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law could impair a takeover attempt that our stockholders may find beneficial.
Our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Our corporate governance documents include provisions:
• | authorizing our board of directors, without further action by our stockholders, to issue blank check preferred stock; |
• | limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings and to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting; |
• | requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors; |
• | authorizing our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to amend our bylaws; |
• | limiting the determination of the number of directors on our board of directors and the filling of vacancies or newly created seats on our board of directors to our board of directors then in office; and |
• | subject to certain exceptions, limiting our ability to engage in certain business combinations with an interested stockholder for a three-year period following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder. |
Additionally, Delaware anti-takeover laws may impair a takeover attempt that our stockholders may consider beneficial. Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for shares of our common stock.
Future offerings of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future offerings of equity securities that may be senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividend and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt securities or equity securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities and shares of preferred stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders or reduce the market price of our common stock, or both. Our preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on dividend payments or both that could limit our ability to pay a dividend to the holders of our common stock. Our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control. As a result, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings, and purchasers of our common stock bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock and diluting their ownership interest in our company.
4
If securities or industry analysts do not publish, or cease publishing, research or reports about us, our business or our market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our common stock adversely, our common stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock may be influenced by whether industry or securities analysts continue to publish research and reports about us, our business, our market or our competitors and, what they publish in those reports. Any analysts who covers us or may cover us in the future may make adverse recommendations regarding our common stock, adversely change their recommendations from time to time, and/or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors. If any analyst who covers us or may cover us in the future were to cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, or if analysts fail to cover us or publish reports about us at all, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our common stock price or trading volume to decline.
Risks Related to the Debt Securities
Our holding company structure may affect our ability to make payments on our debt securities. Holders of our debt securities may be structurally subordinated to the creditors of our subsidiaries.
We currently conduct our operations through subsidiaries, and our operating income and cash flow are generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, cash we obtain from our subsidiaries is the principal source of funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations. Contractual provisions or laws, as well as our subsidiaries financial condition and operating requirements, may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries that we require to pay our debt service obligations, including payments on the debt securities. In addition, holders of the debt securities will have a junior position to the claims of creditors, including trade creditors and tort claimants, of our subsidiaries to the extent that such subsidiaries do not guarantee such debt securities. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors, holders of that subsidiarys indebtedness and its trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets of the subsidiary before any assets are made available for distribution to us.
A holders right to receive payments on the debt securities will be effectively subordinated to the rights of our future secured creditors. Further, the guarantees of the debt securities by the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, will be effectively subordinated to the Subsidiary Guarantors future secured indebtedness.
Holders of our secured indebtedness and the secured indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, will have claims that are prior to the claims of holders of the debt securities to the extent of the value of the assets securing that other indebtedness. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be required to secure the obligations under our revolving credit facility with substantially all of the Companys and the Subsidiary Guarantors land and homebuilding assets if, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, either (a) our ratio of EBITDA to interest expense is less than 4.00 to 1.00 or (b) our leverage ratio is 60% or more. Additionally, the indentures governing the Senior Notes and our 4.25% Convertible Notes due 2019 (the Convertible Notes) permit us to incur certain additional secured indebtedness in the future.
In the event that we or a Subsidiary Guarantor is declared bankrupt, becomes insolvent or is liquidated or reorganized, any indebtedness that is effectively senior to the debt securities will be entitled to be paid in full from our assets or the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, securing such indebtedness before any payment may be made with respect to the debt securities or the affected guarantees. Holders of the debt securities will participate ratably with all holders of our unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. In any of the foregoing events, we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the debt securities. As a result, holders of the debt securities may receive less, ratably, than holders of secured indebtedness.
A holders right to receive payments on the debt securities could be adversely affected if any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries declares bankruptcy, liquidates or reorganizes.
Some but not all of our subsidiaries may guarantee the debt securities. Although certain of our subsidiaries will guarantee the debt securities, the guarantees may be subject to release under certain circumstances and we may have subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors. If the Subsidiary Guarantors are released under their guarantees of our revolving credit facility, the Subsidiary Guarantors may also be released under their guarantee
5
of the debt securities. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, bankruptcy or similar proceeding of the business of a non-guarantor subsidiary, holders of that subsidiarys indebtedness and creditors of that subsidiary would generally have the right to be paid in full before any distribution is made to us or the holders of the debt securities. In any of these events, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on the debt securities with respect to the assets of that subsidiary.
Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require holders of the debt securities to return payments received from guarantors.
Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee could be voided or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of the applicable guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by its guarantee, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee and either:
• | was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; |
• | was engaged or about to engage in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or |
• | intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. |
In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor.
The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if, at the relevant time, the sum of its debts and other liabilities, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the sum of its assets at a fair valuation, and a guarantor that was generally not then paying its debts as they became due.
We cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not we or the Subsidiary Guarantors were solvent at the relevant time, or regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the issuance of the debt securities and the guarantees would not be subordinated to our or any Subsidiary Guarantors other debt. If any other subsidiary of ours guarantees the debt securities in the future, such guarantee will become subject to the same risks described above. If any of the guarantees was legally challenged, such challenged guarantee could also be subject to the claim that, since the guarantee was incurred for our benefit, and only indirectly for the benefit of the Subsidiary Guarantor, the obligations of the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor were incurred for less than fair consideration. A court could thus void the obligations under the guarantees, subordinate them to the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors other debt or take other action detrimental to the holders of the debt securities.
We may incur additional debt ranking equal to the debt securities.
We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. If we incur any additional debt that ranks equally with the debt securities, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the debt securities in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of our company. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to a holder of debt securities. If new indebtedness is added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we and our subsidiaries now face could intensify.

We have computed the ratios of earnings to fixed charges by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings consist of earnings before income taxes plus fixed charges, amortization of capitalized interest and any equity distributions less income from unconsolidated joint ventures, capitalized interest and income or loss from non-controlling interests. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, capitalized interest, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of debt discount and the interest portion of our operating lease rental expense.
No shares of our preferred stock are currently issued or outstanding, therefore there are no dividends accrued on any shares of our preferred stock for any period presented. Accordingly, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same as the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The debt securities covered by this prospectus will be our general unsecured obligations. We will issue senior debt securities under the indenture dated as of July 6, 2018, as amended or supplemented from time to time, by and among us, the possible Subsidiary Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. We refer to this indenture as the senior indenture. We will issue subordinated debt securities under an indenture to be entered into among us, the possible Subsidiary Guarantors, and a trustee we will name in the prospectus supplement relating to subordinated debt securities. We refer to this indenture as the subordinated indenture. We refer to the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture collectively as the indentures. The indentures will be substantially identical, except for provisions relating to subordination.
We have summarized material provisions of the indentures, the debt securities and the guarantees below. This summary is not complete. We have filed the senior indenture and a form of the subordinated indenture with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement, and you should read the indentures for provisions that may be important to you. Please read Where You Can Find More Information.
In this summary description of the debt securities, unless we state otherwise or the context clearly indicates otherwise, all references to we, us, or our refer to LGI Homes, Inc. only and not to any of its subsidiaries.
General
Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities that may be issued under it, and neither indenture limits the amount of other unsecured debt securities that we may issue. We may issue debt securities under the indentures from time to time in one or more series. As of the date of this prospectus, $300.0 million of the Senior Notes were outstanding under the senior indenture.
We are not obligated to issue all debt securities of one series at the same time and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may reopen a series, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of that series, for the issuance of additional debt securities of that series. Additional debt securities of a particular series will have the same terms and conditions as outstanding debt securities of such series, except for the date of original issuance and the offering price and, if applicable, the initial interest payment date and initial interest accrual date, and will be consolidated with, and form a single series with, such outstanding debt securities.
The senior debt securities will constitute our senior unsecured indebtedness and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt and senior in right of payment to all of our subordinated indebtedness, if any. The senior debt securities will be effectively subordinated to, and thus have a junior position to, our secured indebtedness with respect to the assets securing that indebtedness. The subordinated debt securities will rank junior to all of our senior indebtedness and may rank equally with or senior to other subordinated indebtedness we may issue from time to time.
We currently conduct our operations through subsidiaries, and our operating income and cash flow are generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, cash we obtain from our subsidiaries is the principal source of funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations. Contractual provisions or laws, as well as our subsidiaries financial condition and operating requirements, may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries that we require to pay our debt service obligations, including payments on the debt securities. In addition, holders of the debt securities will have a junior position to the claims of creditors, including trade creditors and tort claimants, of our subsidiaries to the extent that such subsidiaries do not guarantee such debt securities.
The indentures do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to protect holders of the debt securities in the event we participate in a highly leveraged transaction or upon a change of control. The indentures also do not contain provisions that give holders of the debt securities the right to require us to repurchase their securities in the event of a decline in our credit rating for any reason, including as a result of a takeover, recapitalization or similar restructuring or otherwise.
Ranking
On May 25, 2018, we entered into a revolving credit agreement, which was amended as of June 19, 2018 by that certain First Amendment thereto (which we also referred to as our revolving credit facility), which is guaranteed by each of our current and future subsidiaries having gross assets equal to or greater than $500,000.
11
The revolving credit agreement provides for borrowings, subject to a borrowing base, up to $450.0 million, which could be increased at our request by up to $50.0 million if the lenders make additional commitments, subject to the terms and conditions of the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement matures on May 31, 2021. Before each anniversary of the closing of the revolving credit agreement, we may request a one-year extension of the maturity date. The revolving credit facility is currently unsecured, but we have agreed to provide collateral if we fail to meet certain financial conditions in the future. As of June 30, 2018, the borrowing base under the revolving credit agreement was $677.4 million, of which borrowings of $495.0 million were outstanding, $10.1 million of letters of credit were outstanding and the remaining $172.3 million was available to borrow. In the event of any distribution or payment of our assets in any foreclosure, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or other bankruptcy proceeding, holders of secured indebtedness will have prior claim to our assets that constitute their collateral. Holders of the senior debt securities will participate ratably with all holders of our senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and potentially with all of our other general creditors, based upon the respective amounts owed to each holder or creditor, in our remaining assets. See Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Debt Securities—A holders right to receive payments on the debt securities will be effectively subordinated to the rights of our future secured creditors. Further, the guarantees of the debt securities by the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, will be effectively subordinated to the Subsidiary Guarantors future secured indebtedness.
The senior debt securities will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. As of the date of this prospectus, we had an aggregate of $638.8 million of unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, consisting of approximately $70.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes, $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes and $268.8 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the senior debt securities will rank equally with the Senior Notes and the Convertible Notes. If debt securities are guaranteed, the guarantees will rank equally with all of the Subsidiary Guarantors other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding and senior to any subordinated debt of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any.
Under the subordinated indenture, payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the subordinated debt securities will generally be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (as defined herein).
Terms
The prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering. These terms will include some or all of the following:
• | whether the debt securities will be senior or subordinated debt securities; |
• | the title of the debt securities; |
• | the total principal amount of the debt securities; |
• | the price at which we will issue the debt securities; |
• | whether we will issue the debt securities in individual certificates to each holder or in the form of temporary or permanent global securities held by a depositary on behalf of holders; |
• | the date or dates on which the principal of and any premium on the debt securities will be payable; |
• | any interest rate, the date from which interest will accrue, interest payment dates and record dates for interest payments; |
• | whether and under what circumstances we will pay any additional amounts with respect to the debt securities; |
• | whether debt securities are entitled to any guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantors and the identity of any such Subsidiary Guarantors for that series and the terms of such guarantee, if different than those set forth in the applicable indenture; |
• | the place or places where payments on the debt securities will be payable; |
• | any provisions for optional redemption or early repayment; |
12
• | any sinking fund or other provisions that would obligate us to redeem, purchase or repay the debt securities; |
• | the denominations in which we will issue the debt securities if other than $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000; |
• | whether payments on the debt securities will be payable in foreign currency or currency unit or another form and whether payments will be payable by reference to any index or formula; |
• | the portion of the principal amount of the debt securities that will be payable if the maturity is accelerated, if other than the entire principal amount; |
• | any additional means of defeasance of the debt securities, any additional conditions or limitations to defeasance of the debt securities or any changes to those conditions or limitations; |
• | any changes or additions to the events of default or covenants described in this prospectus; |
• | any restrictions or other provisions relating to the transfer or exchange of the debt securities; |
• | any terms for the conversion or exchange of the debt securities for other securities; |
• | with respect to the subordinated indenture, any changes to the subordination provisions for the subordinated debt securities; and |
• | any other terms of the debt securities not inconsistent with the applicable indenture. |
We may sell the debt securities at a discount, which may be substantial, below their stated principal amount. These debt securities may bear no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below market rates. If we sell these debt securities, we will describe in the prospectus supplement any material United States federal income tax consequences and other special considerations.
If we sell any of the debt securities for any foreign currency or currency unit or if payments on the debt securities are payable in any foreign currency or currency unit, we will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the restrictions, elections, tax consequences, specific terms and other information relating to those debt securities and the foreign currency or currency unit.
Subordination
Under the subordinated indenture, payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the subordinated debt securities will generally be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may not make any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on the subordinated debt securities if:
• | we fail to pay the principal, interest, premium or any other amounts on any Senior Debt when due; or |
• | we default in performing any other covenant (a covenant default) on any Senior Debt that we have designated if the covenant default allows the holders of that Senior Debt to accelerate the maturity of the Senior Debt they hold. |
Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, a covenant default will prevent us from paying the subordinated debt securities only for up to 179 days after holders of the designated Senior Debt give the trustee for the subordinated debt securities notice of the covenant default.
The subordination does not affect our obligation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay, when due, the principal of and any premium and interest on the subordinated debt securities. In addition, the subordination does not prevent the occurrence of any default under the subordinated indenture.
The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of Senior Debt that we may incur. As a result of the subordination of the subordinated debt securities, if we become insolvent, holders of subordinated debt securities may receive less on a proportionate basis than other creditors.
Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, Senior Debt will mean all of our indebtedness, including guarantees, unless the indebtedness states that it is not senior to the subordinated debt securities or our other junior debt. Senior Debt with respect to a series of subordinated debt securities could include other series of debt securities issued under the subordinated indenture.
13
Guarantees
Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, with respect to a series of senior debt securities will fully and unconditionally guarantee on an unsecured basis the full and prompt payment of the principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of that series when and as the payment becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or otherwise. As used in this prospectus, the term Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to a series of debt securities refers to those subsidiaries listed under Potential Subsidiary Guarantors that guarantee that series of debt securities. The applicable prospectus supplement will name the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any, for that series of debt securities and will describe the terms of the guarantee by the Subsidiary Guarantors if they differ from the terms described in this prospectus. The guarantees provide that in the event of a default in the payment of principal of or any premium or interest on a debt security, the holder of that debt security may institute legal proceedings directly against such Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce such guarantee without first proceeding against us or any other Subsidiary Guarantor. If senior debt securities are so guaranteed, the guarantees will rank equally with all of the Subsidiary Guarantors other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding and senior to any subordinated debt of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if any. If subordinated debt securities are so guaranteed, the guarantees will be subordinated to all of the Subsidiary Guarantors other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding.
LGI Homes, Inc., as the parent company, has no independent assets or operations. Our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries. If each of our subsidiaries listed under Potential Subsidiary Guarantors is a Subsidiary Guarantor, then all of our subsidiaries (other than subsidiaries that are minor) will be Subsidiary Guarantors. Each potential Subsidiary Guarantor listed under Potential Subsidiary Guarantors is 100% owned by us. The guarantees registered under this registration statement will be full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to certain automatic customary releases, including sale, exchange, or transfer of our equity interests in the Subsidiary Guarantor, liquidation or dissolution of the Subsidiary Guarantor, exercise of our legal or covenant defeasance option, and release of all guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantors of any debt of ours for borrowed money, except for any series of debt securities under the applicable indenture.
The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its guarantee of the debt securities will be limited to the maximum amount that will not result in the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under the guarantee constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law, after giving effect to:
• | all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Subsidiary Guarantor; and |
• | any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under its guarantee. |
The guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released under certain circumstances. If we exercise our legal or covenant defeasance option with respect to debt securities of a particular series as described below in —Defeasance and Discharge, then any Subsidiary Guarantor will be released with respect to that series. Further, if no default has occurred and is continuing under the applicable indenture, and to the extent not otherwise prohibited by the applicable indenture, a Subsidiary Guarantor will be unconditionally released and discharged from the guarantee:
• | automatically upon any sale, exchange or transfer, whether by way of merger or otherwise, to any person that is not our affiliate, of all of our equity interests in the Subsidiary Guarantor; |
• | automatically upon the merger of the Subsidiary Guarantor into us or any other Subsidiary Guarantor or the liquidation and dissolution of the Subsidiary Guarantor; or |
• | following delivery of a written notice, in the form of an officers’ certificate, by us to the trustee, upon the release or discharge of all guarantees by the Subsidiary Guarantor of any debt of ours for borrowed money, except for any series of debt securities under the applicable indenture. |
Certain Covenants
The indentures contain several customary covenants, including covenants relating to payment of principal of, and premium and interest on, the debt securities, our continued corporate existence, maintenance of an office or agency in each place of payment for the debt securities and the filing of reports with the SEC and the trustee thereunder.
14
Any additional covenants that may apply to a particular series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating thereto.
Consolidation, Merger and Sales of Assets
The indentures generally permit a consolidation or merger involving us or the Subsidiary Guarantors. They also permit the Subsidiary Guarantors or us to sell, lease, convey, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. We and the Subsidiary Guarantors have agreed, however, that we will not consolidate with or merge into any entity or sell, lease, convey, assign, transfer or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets to any entity unless:
(1) | either |
• | we or a Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, are the continuing entity; or |
• | the resulting entity is organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States, any political subdivision thereof or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and, in the case of us, expressly assumes by supplemental indenture, in our case, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any additional amounts with respect to the debt securities and the performance of our covenants and obligations under the applicable indenture and the debt securities, or, in the case of such Subsidiary Guarantor, the performance of the guarantee and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s covenants and obligations under the applicable indenture and the debt securities; |
(2) | immediately after giving effect to the transaction or series of transactions, no default or event of default under the applicable indenture has occurred and is continuing or would result from the transaction(s); and |
(3) | we have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel as described in the applicable indenture. |
This covenant will not apply to any merger of another entity into us. Upon any transaction of the type described in and effected in accordance with this section, the resulting entity will succeed to and be substituted for us and may exercise all of our rights and powers under the applicable indenture and the debt securities with the same effect as if the resulting entity had been named as us in the applicable indenture. In the case of any asset transfer or disposition other than a lease, when the resulting entity assumes all of our obligations and covenants under the applicable indenture and the debt securities, we will be relieved of all such obligations.
Events of Default
Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following are events of default with respect to a series of debt securities:
• | our failure to pay interest on or any additional amounts with respect to any debt security of that series for 30 days when due; |
• | our failure to pay principal of or any premium on any debt security of that series when due; |
• | our failure to deposit any sinking fund payment relating to any debt security of that series for 30 days when due; |
• | our or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s failure to comply with any covenant or agreement in that series of debt securities or the applicable indenture (other than an agreement or covenant that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of other series of debt securities) for 90 days after written notice by the trustee or by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities issued under that indenture that are affected by that failure; |
• | specified events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us or a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to that series of debt securities that is a significant subsidiary (as defined in Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC, as in effect on the date of the applicable indenture) of us; |
• | if applicable, specified events involving the guarantees; and |
• | any other event of default provided for that series of debt securities. |
15
A default under one series of debt securities will not necessarily be a default under any other series. If a default or event of default for any series of debt securities occurs, is continuing and is actually known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee will notify the holders of applicable debt securities within 90 days after it occurs. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the debt securities of any default or event of default, except in any payment on the debt securities, if a responsible officer of the trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the holders of those debt securities.
If an event of default for any series of debt securities occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the series affected by the default (or, in some cases, 25% in principal amount of all debt securities issued under the applicable indenture that are affected, voting as one class) may declare the principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on those debt securities to be due and payable immediately. If an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of us or a Subsidiary Guarantor that is a significant subsidiary occurs, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the debt securities of that series will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the trustee or any holder. At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the series affected by the default (or, in some cases, of all debt securities issued under the applicable indenture that are affected, voting as one class) may in some cases rescind this accelerated payment requirement and its consequences.
A holder of a debt security of any series issued under an indenture may pursue any remedy under that indenture only if:
• | the holder gives the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to that series of debt securities; |
• | the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy; |
• | the holders offer to the trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense; |
• | the trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and offer of security or indemnity; and |
• | during that 60-day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of that series do not give the trustee a direction inconsistent with the request. |
This provision does not, however, affect the right of a holder of a debt security to sue for enforcement of any overdue payment.
The trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the applicable indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless those holders have offered to the trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it. Subject to this provision for security or indemnification, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series (or of all debt securities issued under the applicable indenture that are affected, voting as one class) generally may direct the time, method and place of:
• | conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee; or |
• | exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee relating to or arising as a result of an event of default. |
If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required to use the degree of care and skill of a prudent person in the conduct of such persons own affairs.
The indentures require us to furnish to the trustee annually a statement as to our performance of certain of our obligations under the indentures and as to any default in performance.
16
Modification and Waiver
We and the trustee may supplement or amend each indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series issued under that indenture that are affected by the amendment or supplement (voting as one class). Without the consent of the holder of each debt security affected, however, no modification may:
• | reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities who must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; |
• | reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on the debt security; |
• | reduce the principal of the debt security or change its stated maturity; |
• | reduce any premium payable on the redemption of the debt security or change the time at which the debt security may or must be redeemed; |
• | change any obligation to pay additional amounts on the debt security; |
• | make payments on the debt security payable in currency other than as originally stated in the debt security; |
• | impair the holder’s right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to the debt security; |
• | make any change in the percentage of principal amount of debt securities necessary to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or to make any change in the provision related to modification; |
• | with respect to the subordinated indenture, modify the provisions relating to the subordination of any subordinated debt security in a manner adverse to the holder of that security; |
• | waive a continuing default or event of default regarding any payment on the debt securities; or |
• | except as specifically provided in the indenture, release any Subsidiary Guarantor or modify the related Guarantee in any manner materially adverse to the holders of debt securities under that indenture. |
We and the trustee may supplement or amend each indenture or waive any provision of that indenture without the consent of any holders of debt securities issued under that indenture in certain circumstances, including:
• | to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency; |
• | to provide for the assumption of our or a Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the indenture by a successor upon any merger, consolidation or asset transfer permitted under the indenture; |
• | to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities or to provide for bearer debt securities; |
• | to provide any security for, or to add any guarantees of or obligors on, any series of debt securities; |
• | to comply with any requirement to effect or maintain the qualification of that indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; |
• | to add covenants that would benefit the holders of any debt securities or to surrender any rights we or any Subsidiary Guarantor has under the indenture; |
• | to add events of default with respect to any series of debt securities; |
• | to make any change that does not adversely affect any outstanding debt securities of any series issued under that indenture in any material respect; |
• | to establish the form or terms of any debt securities as permitted under the indenture; |
• | to supplement any of the provisions of that indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of debt securities; |
• | to provide for the appointment of a successor trustee or to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts under that indenture by more than one trustee; |
17
• | to comply with SEC rules and regulations or changes to applicable law; and |
• | to comply with the rules of any applicable securities depositary. |
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series (or, in some cases, of all debt securities issued under the applicable indenture that are affected, voting as one class) may waive any existing or past default or event of default with respect to those debt securities. Those holders may not, however, waive any default or event of default in any payment on any debt security or compliance with a provision that cannot be amended or supplemented without the consent of each holder affected.
Defeasance and Discharge
Defeasance. When we use the term defeasance, we mean discharge from some or all of our obligations under an indenture. If we deposit with the trustee under an indenture any combination of money or government securities sufficient to make payments on the debt securities of a series issued under that indenture on the dates those payments are due, then, at our option, either of the following will occur:
• | we and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if applicable, will be discharged from our obligations with respect to the debt securities of that series (legal defeasance); or |
• | we and the Subsidiary Guarantors, if applicable, will no longer have any obligation to comply with specified restrictive covenants with respect to the debt securities of that series, the covenant described under —Consolidation, Merger and Sales of Assets and other specified covenants under the applicable indenture, and the related events of default will no longer apply (covenant defeasance). |
If a series of debt securities is defeased, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not be entitled to the benefits of the applicable indenture, except for obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities or maintain paying agencies and hold money for payment in trust. In the case of covenant defeasance, our obligation to pay principal, premium and interest on the debt securities, and if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors guarantees of the payments, will also survive.
Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will be required to deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel that the deposit and related defeasance would not cause the holders of the debt securities to recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that the holders would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related defeasance had not occurred. If we elect legal defeasance, that opinion of counsel must be based upon a ruling from the United States Internal Revenue Service or a change in law to that effect.
Under current U.S. federal income tax law, legal defeasance would likely be treated as a taxable exchange of debt securities to be defeased for interests in the defeasance trust. As a consequence, a United States holder would recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the holders cost or other tax basis for the debt securities and the value of the holders interest in the defeasance trust, and thereafter would be required to include in income a share of the income, gain or loss of the defeasance trust. Under current U.S. federal income tax law, covenant defeasance would not be treated as a taxable exchange of such debt securities.
Satisfaction and Discharge. In addition, an indenture will cease to be of further effect with respect to the debt securities of a series issued under that indenture, subject to exceptions relating to compensation and indemnity of the trustee under that indenture and repayment to us of excess money or government securities, when:
• | either: |
(a) | all outstanding debt securities of that series have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or |
(b) | all outstanding debt securities of that series not delivered to the trustee for cancellation either: (i) have become due and payable, or will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year; (ii) we have deposited with the trustee any combination of money or government securities in trust sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness on the debt securities of that series when due; and (iii) we have paid all other sums payable by us with respect to the debt securities of that series. |
18
Governing Law
New York law will govern the indentures, the debt securities and the guarantees, if any.
The Trustees
Wilmington Trust, National Association acts as the trustee under the senior indenture. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement, Wilmington Trust, National Association will act as the trustee with respect to the senior debt securities described in such prospectus supplement.
We will name the trustee under the subordinated indenture in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Each indenture contains limitations on the right of the trustee, if it or any of its affiliates is then our creditor or, if applicable, a creditor of a Subsidiary Guarantor, to obtain payment of claims or to realize on certain property received for any such claim, as security or otherwise. The trustee and its affiliates are permitted to engage in other transactions with us, and, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantors. If, however, the trustee acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate that conflict or resign within 90 days after ascertaining that it has a conflicting interest and after the occurrence of a default under the applicable indenture, unless the default has been cured, waived or otherwise eliminated within the 90-day period.
Payments and Paying Agents
Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payments on the debt securities in U.S. dollars at the office of the trustee and any paying agent. At our option, however, payments may be made by wire transfer for global debt securities or by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to the payment as it appears in the security register. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments to the person in whose name the debt security is registered at the close of business on the record date for the interest payment.
Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the trustee under the applicable indenture will be designated as the paying agent for payments on debt securities issued under that indenture. We may at any time designate additional paying agents or rescind the designation of any paying agent or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts.
If the principal of or any premium or interest on debt securities of a series is payable on a day that is not a business day, the payment will be made on the following business day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. For these purposes, unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, a business day is any day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in any of New York, New York, Houston, Texas or a place of payment on the debt securities of that series is authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed.
Subject to the requirements of any applicable abandoned property laws, the trustee and paying agent will pay to us upon written request any money held by them for payments on the debt securities that remains unclaimed for two years after the date upon which that payment has become due. After payment to us, holders entitled to the money must look to us for payment. In that case, all liability of the trustee or paying agent with respect to that money will cease.
Form, Exchange, Registration and Transfer
We will issue the debt securities in registered form, without interest coupons. Debt securities of any series will be exchangeable for other debt securities of the same series, the same total principal amount and the same terms but in different authorized denominations in accordance with the applicable indenture. Holders may present debt securities for registration of transfer at the office of the security registrar or any transfer agent designated by us. The security registrar or transfer agent will effect the transfer or exchange if its requirements and the requirements of the applicable indenture are met. We will not charge a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange of the debt securities. We may, however, require payment of any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable for that registration.
19
Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will appoint the trustee as security registrar for the debt securities. If the applicable prospectus supplement refers to any transfer agents we initially designate, we may at any time rescind that designation or approve a change in the location through which any transfer agent acts. We are required to maintain an office or agency for transfers and exchanges in each place of payment. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents for any series of debt securities.
In the case of any redemption of debt securities of a series or any repurchase of debt securities of a series required under the terms of the series, we will not be required to register the transfer or exchange of:
• | any debt security of that series during a period beginning 15 business days prior to the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption or repurchase and ending on the close of business on the day of mailing of such notice; or |
• | any debt security of that series that has been called for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt security being redeemed in part. |
Book-Entry Debt Securities
We may issue the debt securities of a series in the form of one or more global debt securities that would be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may issue global debt securities in either temporary or permanent form. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of any depositary arrangement and the rights and limitations of owners of beneficial interests in any global debt security.

General
The following descriptions are summaries of material terms of our common stock, preferred stock, certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Copies of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws have been incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you are urged to review these documents. Please read Where You Can Find More Information.
As of the date of this prospectus, our authorized capital stock consists of 250 million shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which 23,632,991 shares of common stock were issued and 22,632,991 shares of common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2018, and five million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which no shares were issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held in the election of directors and on all other matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Cumulative voting of shares of our common stock is prohibited. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election.
Subject to the prior rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive and share equally in all dividends when, as and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of LGI Homes, Inc., the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably the assets of LGI Homes, Inc. remaining after satisfaction of all liabilities and of the prior rights of any outstanding class of our preferred stock. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of our common stock are, and any shares of our common stock offered and issued by us pursuant to this prospectus will be, when issued and paid for, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized, without any further notice or action of our stockholders, to issue up to five million shares of our preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the relative rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of any such series.
The issuance of preferred stock, while providing us with flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other transactions, could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock. It could also affect the likelihood that holders of our common stock will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase shares of preferred stock, could be used to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company. For example, if, in the exercise of its fiduciary obligations, our board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in the best interest of our stockholders, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock containing class voting rights that would enable the holder or holders of this series to prevent a change of control transaction or make it more difficult. Alternatively, a change of control transaction deemed by our board of directors to be in the best interest of our stockholders could be facilitated by issuing a series of preferred stock having sufficient voting rights to provide a required percentage vote of the stockholders.
The prospectus supplement relating to any series of preferred stock that we may offer will include specific terms relating to the offering. In connection with any offering of shares of preferred stock, we will file a form of certificate of designation with the SEC, and you should read the certificate of designation for provisions that may be important to you. See Where You Can Find More Information. The applicable prospectus supplement will summarize the general terms of any such series of preferred stock.
21
Charter and Bylaw Provisions
Election and Removal of Directors
Our board of directors must consist of at least three directors. The exact number of directors will be fixed from time to time by resolution of our board of directors. Each director will serve as a director until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until such directors successor is duly elected and qualified or, if earlier, such directors death, resignation or removal.
Stockholder Meetings
Our certificate of incorporation provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our board of directors, the chief executive officer (or if there is no chief executive officer, the president) or by a resolution of a majority of the directors.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Our certificate of incorporation provides that holders of our common stock will not be able to act by written consent without a meeting.
Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation
The provisions of our certificate of incorporation may be amended in the manner prescribed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
Amendment of Bylaws
Our bylaws may generally be altered, amended or repealed, and new bylaws may be adopted, by the majority vote of our board of directors.
Other Limitations on Stockholder Actions
Our bylaws also impose some procedural requirements on stockholders who wish to:
• | make nominations in the election of directors; |
• | propose any repeal or change in our bylaws; or |
• | propose any other business to be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders. |
Under these procedural requirements, in order to bring a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder must deliver timely notice of a proposal pertaining to a proper subject for presentation at the meeting to our secretary along with the following:
• | a description of the proposal or business to be brought before the meeting (including the complete text of any resolutions to be presented, and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws, the text of the proposed amendment); |
• | the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; |
• | any material interest in such business of the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined in our bylaws); |
• | the name and address of any other stockholder known by such stockholder to be supporting the proposal; and |
• | the Proposing Stockholder Information (as defined in our bylaws) of such stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person. |
To be timely, a stockholder must generally deliver notice:
• | in connection with an annual meeting of stockholders, not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which the Company first mailed its proxy materials or a notice of availability of proxy materials (whichever is earlier) for the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, but in the event that no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the |
22
previous year or the annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date that is not within 30 days from the first anniversary of the immediately preceding years annual meeting date, a stockholder notice will be timely if received by us not earlier than the 120th day before the date of such annual meeting and not later than the later of the 90th day before the date of such annual meeting, as originally convened, or the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which the first public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was made; or
• | in connection with the election of a director at a special meeting of stockholders, not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which the first public disclosure of the date of such special meeting was made. |
In order to submit a nomination for our board of directors, a stockholder must also submit any information with respect to the nominee that we would be required to include in a proxy statement, as well as certain other information specified in our bylaws. If a stockholder fails to follow the required procedures, the stockholders proposal or nominee will be ineligible and will not be voted on by our stockholders.
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Currently, Delaware law requires that liability be imposed for the following:
• | any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders; |
• | any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
• | unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL); and |
• | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
In addition, we maintain directors and officers liability insurance.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation, Our Bylaws and Delaware Law
Some provisions of Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing another party from acquiring or seeking to acquire control of us. These provisions are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. However, these provisions may also delay, deter or prevent a change in control or other takeover of LGI Homes, Inc. that our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium being paid over the market price of our common stock and also may limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for our common stock. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management.
Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws include anti-takeover provisions that:
• | authorize our board of directors, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to five million shares of our preferred stock in one or more series, and with respect to each series, to fix the number of shares constituting that series and establish the rights and other terms of that series; |
• | require that actions to be taken by our stockholders may be taken only at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders and not by written consent; |
• | specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by our board of directors, the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer or our president (if we do not have a chief executive officer); |
• | establish advance notice procedures for our stockholders to submit nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors and other proposals to be brought before a stockholders meeting; |
• | provide that our bylaws may be amended by our board of directors without stockholder approval; |
23
• | allow our directors to establish the size of our board of directors by action of the board of directors, subject to a minimum of three members; |
• | provide that vacancies on our board of directors or newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of our directors may be filled only by vote of a majority of directors then in office, even though less than a quorum; and |
• | do not give the holders of our common stock cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors. |
Business Combinations
We are a Delaware corporation and are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 of the DGCL provides that we may not engage in a broad range of business combinations with any interested stockholder for a three-year period following the time that the person became an interested stockholder, unless:
• | prior to the time that person became an interested stockholder, our board of directors had approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder; |
• | upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and shares owned in employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or |
• | at or subsequent to the time the person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
Generally, a business combination includes a merger, consolidation, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with that persons affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of our voting stock. However, in our case, Messrs. Eric and Tom Lipar and any of their respective permitted transferees receiving 15% or more of our voting stock, will not be deemed to be interested stockholders regardless of the percentage of our voting stock owned by them. Under Section 203, the restrictions described above also do not apply to specific business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of designated extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporations directors, if such extraordinary transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors who were directors prior to any person becoming an interested stockholder during the previous three years or were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of such directors.
Section 203 could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts with respect to us and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire us.
Authorized and Unissued Shares
Our certificate of incorporation does not preclude the future issuance without stockholder approval of our authorized and unissued shares of common stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Listing
Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol LGIH.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
24
We may issue warrants to purchase debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, depositary shares, purchase contracts or any combination of the foregoing. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities. Warrants sold with other securities may be attached to or separate from the other securities. If we issue warrants under this prospectus, we will issue such warrants under one or more warrant agreements between us and a warrant agent that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we may offer will include specific terms relating to the offering. We will file the form of any warrant agreement with the SEC, and you should read the warrant agreement for provisions that may be important to you. The applicable prospectus supplement will include some or all of the following terms:
• | the title of the warrants; |
• | the aggregate number of warrants offered; |
• | the designation, number and terms of the debt securities, preferred stock, common stock or other securities purchasable upon exercise of the warrants, and the procedures by which those numbers may be adjusted; |
• | the exercise price of the warrants; |
• | the dates or periods during which the warrants are exercisable; |
• | the designation and terms of any securities with which the warrants are issued; |
• | if the warrants are issued as a unit with another security, the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the other security will be separately transferable; |
• | if the exercise price is not payable in U.S. dollars, the foreign currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the exercise price is denominated; |
• | any minimum or maximum amount of warrants that may be exercised at any one time; and |
• | any terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange or exercise of the warrants. |
Holders of equity warrants will not be entitled to:
• | vote, consent or receive dividends; |
• | receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter; or |
• | exercise any rights as stockholders of LGI Homes, Inc. |
25
DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
Shares of preferred stock may be offered either separately or represented by depositary shares. We may also, at our option, elect to offer fractional shares of preferred stock. If we exercise this option, we will issue receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction of a share of a particular series of preferred stock, to be described in an applicable prospectus supplement.
The shares represented by depositary shares will be deposited under a deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company selected by us and having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable share or fraction thereof represented by the depositary share, to all of the rights and preferences, if any, of the share represented thereby, including any dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights. The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement.
The particular terms of the depositary shares offered by any prospectus supplement will be described in the prospectus supplement, which will also include a discussion of certain United States federal income tax consequences.
We will include a copy of the form of deposit agreement, including the form of depositary receipt, and any other instrument establishing the terms of any depositary shares we offer as exhibits to a filing we will make with the SEC in connection with that offering. See Where You Can Find More Information.
26
DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS
We may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of:
• | debt or equity securities issued by us; |
• | currencies; or |
• | commodities. |
Each purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or sell, and obligate us to sell or purchase, on specified dates, such securities, currencies or commodities at a specified purchase price, which may be based on a formula, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, however, satisfy our obligations, if any, with respect to any purchase contract by delivering the cash value of such purchase contract or the cash value of the property otherwise deliverable or, in the case of purchase contracts on underlying currencies, by delivering the underlying currencies, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell such securities, currencies or commodities and any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract.
The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders thereof or vice versa, which payments may be deferred to the extent set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, and those payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require the holders thereof to secure their obligations in a specified manner to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Alternatively, purchase contracts may require holders to satisfy their obligations thereunder when the purchase contracts are issued. Our obligation to settle such pre-paid purchase contracts on the relevant settlement date may constitute indebtedness. Accordingly, pre-paid purchase contracts will be issued under the applicable indenture.
If we issue purchase contracts under this prospectus, the purchase contracts will be issued pursuant to documents to be issued by us. You should read the particular terms of the documents, which will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will include a copy of the form of documents governing or establishing the terms of any purchase contracts as exhibits to a filing we will make with the SEC in connection with that offering. See Where You Can Find More Information.
27
We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.
The following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and we will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.
If we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following, as applicable:
• | the title of the series of units; |
• | identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units; |
• | the price or prices at which the units will be issued; |
• | the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable; |
• | a discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and |
• | any other terms of the units and their constituent securities. |
28
We may sell the securities on a delayed or continuous basis in and outside the United States (a) through underwriters or dealers as designated from time to time, (b) directly to purchasers, (c) through agents or (d) through a combination of these methods.
We will prepare a prospectus supplement for each offering that will set forth the terms of the offering and the method of distribution. The applicable prospectus supplement will include the following information:
• | the terms of the offering; |
• | the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents; |
• | the purchase price of the securities from us and, if the purchase price is not payable in U.S. dollars, the currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the purchase price is payable; |
• | the net proceeds to us from the sale of securities; |
• | any delayed delivery arrangements; |
• | any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation to underwriters, dealers or agents; |
• | any public offering price; |
• | any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and |
• | any securities exchange or market on which the securities offered in the prospectus supplement may be listed. |
Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers
If we use underwriters in the sale of securities, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement and except as described below, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
Underwriters may sell shares of our common stock under this prospectus by any method permitted by law deemed to be an at the market offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which includes sales made directly on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, on any other existing trading market for our common stock or to or through a market maker, or in privately negotiated transactions. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the sales agent with respect to any such at-the-market offering will make all sales using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreeable terms between the sales agent and us. We will include in the applicable prospectus supplement the amount of any compensation to be received by the sales agent.
During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.
If we use dealers in the sale of securities, the securities will be sold directly to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The dealers participating in any sale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
29
the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. We will include in the applicable prospectus supplement the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents
We may sell the securities directly. In that event, no underwriters or agents would be involved. We may also sell the securities through agents we designate from time to time. In the applicable prospectus supplement, we will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities, and we will describe any commissions payable by us or otherwise to the agent. Unless we inform you otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. We will describe the terms of any such sales in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
Remarketing
We may offer and sell any of the securities in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment by their terms or otherwise, by one or more remarketing firms acting as principals for their own accounts or as our agents. We will identify any remarketing firm, the terms of any remarketing agreement and the compensation to be paid to the remarketing firm in the applicable prospectus supplement. Remarketing firms may be deemed underwriters under the Securities Act.
Derivative Transactions
We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third parties may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock.
We or one of our respective affiliates may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus. Such financial institution or third party may transfer its short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a simultaneous offering of other securities offered by this prospectus or otherwise.
The third parties in any of the sale transactions described above will be underwriters and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement or in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Section 183.0403 of the WILLCA provides that (i) a limited liability company shall indemnify or allow reasonable expenses to and pay liabilities of each member and, if management of the company is vested in one or more managers, of each manager, incurred with respect to a proceeding if that member or manager was a party to the proceeding in the capacity of a member or manager and (ii) an operating agreement may alter or provide additional rights to indemnification of liabilities or allowance of expenses to members or managers; provided that a limited liability company may not indemnify a member or manager for liabilities or permit a member or manager to retain any allowance for expenses under clause (i) or (ii) above, unless it is determined by or on behalf of the company that the liabilities or expenses did not result from the members or managers breach or failure to perform a duty to the company.

Item 17. | Undertakings. |
(a) | Each registrant hereby undertakes: |
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
(ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and |
(iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; |
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
(i) | Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
(ii) | Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
II-13
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
(b) | Each registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(c) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
(d) | The registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the Subordinated Trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the Act) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under section 305(b)(2) of the Act. |
