Beazer Extends and Amends Consent Solicitation from Holders of Senior Notes and Senior Convertible Notes

Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (NYSE: BZH) (www.beazer.com) announced today that it has extended until 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on October 26, 2007 (the "Consent Date”) the previously announced solicitation of consents from the Holders of its $1.525 billion of outstanding Senior Notes and Senior Convertible Notes (the "Notes”) to approve proposed amendments and a proposed waiver pursuant to the indentures under which the Notes were issued (the "Indentures”). Beazer has changed the Proposed Amendments to the Indentures by withdrawing the previously proposed amendments and proposing the following: 1. an amendment to the definition of Permitted Liens that would restrict the ability of the Company to secure additional debt in excess of $700,000,000 until the Company has four consecutive fiscal quarters with a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.0 to 1.0, after which time the limit will revert to the existing level of 40% of Consolidated Tangible Assets; and 2. an amendment to the definition of Permitted Investments that would enable the Company to invest up to $50,000,000 in joint ventures or unrestricted subsidiaries. No other amendments to the Indentures will be made. Beazer is also seeking the previously announced Proposed Waiver of any and all defaults under the Indentures that may have occurred or may occur on or prior to May 15, 2008 due to Beazer’s failure to file or deliver reports or other information it would be required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As previously announced, the Company does not believe that it is in default under the Indentures governing the Notes. The Indentures do not contain an express financial reporting covenant requiring that Beazer file periodic reports with the SEC or deliver to the trustee copies of Beazer’s SEC reports within any prescribed time period. Therefore, the Company believes that the notices of default under the Indentures previously delivered by the trustee under the Indentures are invalid and without merit. The Company has also increased the consent fee. Subject to the terms of the Consent Solicitation, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the Consent Fee is the product of $12.50 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the relevant series of Notes outstanding on the Consent Date, and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the relevant series of Notes as to which the Company has received and accepted consents prior to the Consent Date, subject to a cap equal to the maximum Consent Fee that would not cause a "significant modification” of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as determined in the good faith discretion of Beazer. Holders as of the record date, October 5, 2007, are eligible to receive the consent fee for Notes they held as of that date. These amended terms of the consent solicitation are more fully described in the Supplement to the Consent Solicitation Statement dated October 23, 2007. Except as described above, all terms and conditions of the consent solicitation remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Holders of the Notes who have already properly delivered their consents with respect to any series of Notes do not need to deliver new consents. Consents (whether previously or hereafter delivered) may only be revoked in the manner described in the Consent Solicitation Statement. Beazer has retained MacKenzie Partners, Inc. to serve as Information Agent and Tabulation Agent for the consent solicitation. Requests for documents should be directed to MacKenzie Partners, Inc. at (800) 322-2885 or (212) 929-5500. Beazer has also retained Citi, Wachovia Securities and RBS Greenwich Capital as solicitation agents for the consent solicitation. Questions concerning the terms of the consent solicitation should be directed to Citi at (800) 558-3745 or (212) 723-6106; to Wachovia Securities at (866) 309-6316 or (704) 715-8341; or to RBS Greenwich Capital at (877) 297-9832 or (203) 618-6145. This announcement is not an offer to purchase or sell, a solicitation of an offer to purchase or sell, or a solicitation of consents with respect to any securities. The solicitation is being made solely pursuant to Beazer’s Consent Solicitation Statement dated October 15, 2007, as supplemental by the Supplement to the Consent Solicitation dated October 23, 2007 and the accompanying Amended Letter of Consent. Notwithstanding Beazer’s intention to seek waivers, no assurance can be given that an event of default under the Indentures will not occur in the future. About Beazer Homes USA, Inc.
