Dream Finders Homes, Inc. (NYSE:DFH) shares rose on Wednesday after the company raised its all-cash offer to acquire Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE:BZH) to $32.00 per share.
Beazer Homes shares surged in premarket trading after Dream Finders publicly disclosed the revised proposal.
DFH Raises All-Cash Bid To Buy Beazer Homes
The revised bid marks a nearly 24% increase from Dream Finders’ prior public proposal.
Dream Finders said the offer represents about a 70% premium to Beazer’s undisturbed $18.77 share price on May 8, 2026.
The proposal also implies a roughly 56% premium to Beazer’s 30-day VWAP of $20.48 as of the same date.
Dream Finders previously offered $29.25 per share on June 22, then submitted a higher bid of $32.00 on June 30.
Beazer Preconditions
Dream Finders said it made the latest proposal public after Beazer demanded preconditions before starting due diligence.
The company said Beazer sought a non-disclosure agreement with a 12-month standstill period.
Dream Finders argued the restriction would delay engagement and limit the potential transaction. The company urged Beazer shareholders to push the board to remove the preconditions and engage in the offer.
Dream Finders said it does not currently expect regulatory or other concerns to prevent closing.
The company also said Kennedy Lewis, Goldman Sachs, and BofA Securities provided highly confident financing letters tied to the proposal.
Patrick Zalupski, Dream Finders’ chairman and CEO, said, "Beazer’s actions do not appear to be focused on pursuing a path that can maximize value for shareholders. While we would have preferred to continue our discussions privately, Beazer’s proposed non-disclosure agreement and related restrictions go well beyond what is necessary to protect confidential information."
"Taken together with Beazer’s past unwillingness to engage, these provisions raise questions about whether the Board is prepared to pursue a transaction that we believe would be in the best interest of Beazer shareholders."
Beazer previously rejected Dream Finders’ earlier proposals, saying they undervalued the company.
