See “Indications of Interest.” However, because these indications are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, these members of management and our board of directors may elect to purchase fewer shares than they indicate an interest in purchasing or not to purchase any shares in this offering. In addition, the underwriters may elect to sell fewer shares or not to sell any shares in this offering to these insiders. The underwriters will receive the same discount from any shares sold to these insiders as they will from any other shares sold to the public in this offering. Additionally, entities affiliated with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley Securities”) have indicated an interest in participating in this offering at the public offering price. However, because indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the underwriters may determine to sell more, less or no shares in this offering to any of these investors, or any of these investors may determine to purchase more, less or no shares in this offering.

The selling stockholder has granted the underwriters an option for a period of 30 days following the date of this prospectus supplement to purchase up to 365,217 additional shares of our common stock.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering of common stock and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. The second part, the base prospectus, gives more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer only to the “prospectus,” we are referring to both parts combined, and when we refer to the “accompanying base prospectus,” we are referring to the base prospectus only.

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated into each by reference include important information about us, the selling stockholder, the shares of common stock being offered hereby and other information you should consider before investing in our common stock. This prospectus does not, however, contain all of the information included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The registration statement filed with the SEC includes or incorporates by reference exhibits that provide more details about the matters discussed in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. You should read the prospectus, including the additional information described under the heading “Information Incorporated by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information” in the accompanying base prospectus, before investing in our common stock.

If any information varies between this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date (for example, a document incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or in the accompanying prospectus), the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement. Terms used in this prospectus supplement that are otherwise not defined in this prospectus supplement will have the meanings given to them in the accompanying base prospectus.

We have authorized only the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information that is different. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any information that others may give you. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying base prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of the applicable document, or that any information we have incorporated by reference in this prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date of the document incorporated by reference regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of shares of common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.

The selling stockholder is offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, shares of common stock only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. Persons who come into possession of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus in jurisdictions outside the United States are required to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions as to this offering and the distribution of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus applicable to that jurisdiction.

We were incorporated on June 29, 2017 as a Delaware corporation under the name “LF Capital Acquisition Corp.” and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On January 7, 2021, Landsea Homes Corporation (formerly known as LF Capital Acquisition Corp. or “LF Capital”) consummated the business combination pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 31, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among LF Capital, LFCA Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of LF Capital (“Merger Sub”), Landsea Homes Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“LHI”), and Landsea Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation and the selling stockholder in this offering (“Landsea Holdings”), which provided for the merger of Merger Sub with and into LHI, with LHI continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the Business Combination, the registrant changed its name from LF Capital Acquisition Corp. to Landsea Homes Corporation and LHI changed its name from Landsea Homes Incorporated to Landsea Homes US Corporation. Unless the context otherwise indicates, references in this prospectus supplement to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Landsea Homes” and the “Company” are to Landsea Homes Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully read this entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes incorporated by reference herein.

Company Overview

Landsea Homes is a growth-oriented homebuilder focused on providing High Performance Homes that deliver energy efficient living in attractive geographies. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, we primarily engage in the design, construction, marketing and sale of suburban and urban single-family detached and attached homes in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Texas, and Metro New York. While we offer a wide range of housing options, we primarily focus on entry-level and first-time move-up homes and believe our markets are characterized by attractive long-term housing fundamentals.

We design and build homes and communities throughout the nation that reflect spaces inspired by modern living and that feature vibrant, prime locations where the homes connect seamlessly with their surroundings and enhance the local lifestyle for living, working, and playing. Our defining principle, “Live in your element®,” creates the foundation for our customers to live where they want to live and how they want to live in a home created especially for them. Drawing on new home innovation and technology, including a partnership with a leading technology company, we are focused on sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly building practices that result in a lighter environmental impact, lower resource consumption, and a reduced carbon footprint. The four pillars of our High Performance Homes platform are home automation, energy efficiency, sustainability, and enabling a healthy lifestyle. These pillars are reflected in such features as wireless network internet, smart light switches, smart door locks, smart thermostats, Wi-Fi garage door openers, LED lighting, REME HALO® air purifiers, and enhanced insulation. Our efficient home designs help reduce lumber, concrete, and building material waste on our job sites. We are committed to achieving among the highest standards in design, quality, and customer satisfaction and are a leader among our peers on several key operating and homebuilding metrics.

Our communities are positioned in attractive markets, such as Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, and Texas. These markets are characterized by conditions including high in-migration, low new home supply levels, and high levels of employment. We are also prudently evaluating opportunities in new regional markets in which there is high demand and favorable population and employment growth as a result of proximity to job centers or primary transportation corridors.

Landsea Homes has been recognized locally and nationally for architecture, interior design, website, digital sales resources and more including winning the 2022 Builder of the Year award by BUILDER magazine. Landsea Homes is in the top ratings of similarly sized homebuilders nationally for positive customer experience in Eliant’s Homebuyers’ survey.

While we have construction expertise across a wide array of product offerings, as noted above, we are focused on entry-level and first-time move-up homes. We believe our high concentration in entry-level homes helps position us to meet changing market conditions and to optimize returns while strategically reducing portfolio risk. In addition, our attached and higher density products in certain markets enables us to keep our entry-level price point “attainable” and within reach of more new homebuyers. We believe that bringing attainable housing products helps to offset rising land and home costs and supports our expansion into densely populated markets. For example, in California, we offer new attached and single family detached homes in attractive areas of the South, East and North San Francisco Bay area, where we have delivered 1,198 homes. We have also delivered 1,790 of these homes in Orange and San Bernardino counties in Southern California.

Landsea Homes’ revenue has grown rapidly from approximately $29 million in 2017 to over $1.2 billion in 2023. As of December 31, 2023, Landsea Homes owned or controlled 11,176 lots, of which 6,608 lots were under land option contracts or purchase contracts and 4,568 lots were owned. We believe that this represents approximately five years of supply under our current growth plan. We seek to invest in land inventory that we can efficiently develop over a 24-to-36-month horizon in order to maximize our returns on capital and minimize our exposure to market risk. We continue to evaluate new communities and to develop an attractive pipeline of land acquisition opportunities. Set forth below is summary quarterly information regarding certain of our key operating metrics:

Through its acquisitions, the compound annual growth rate of Landsea’s total home deliveries has grown by 37.3% from 2019 to 2023, or 43.6% on a pro forma basis inclusive of Antares’ 417 home deliveries as of December 31, 2023. Below is a chart detailing certain operating metrics that demonstrate our growth over this period :

(1) Growth represents compound annual growth.

Recent Developments

On January 9, 2024, we announced the entry into a definitive agreement to acquire Antares Homes (“Antares”), a privately-held Texas builder founded in the 1990s (the “Antares Acquisition”). Antares is focused on targeting entry-level and move-up homebuyers. They are known for specializing in quality, energy-efficient home construction in their communities and creating lasting relationships with their homebuyers. Antares operates in attractive sub-markets around the Dallas / Fort Worth area where there is strong demand for quality, affordable new homes. As of December 31, 2023, Antares operated 20 communities and owned or controlled 2,222 lots, with approximately 80% of its lots controlled via option contracts and other arrangements, and had a backlog of 54 sold but unclosed homes. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Antares had 19 average selling communities (i.e., the sum of communities actively selling homes each month divided by 12) and delivered 417 homes with an average selling price of approximately $411,000.

 The Antares Acquisition provides for an aggregate cash purchase price of $185.0 million, exclusive of the repayment of approximately $48.0 million of Antares debt and subject to certain post-closing adjustments. We expect to fund the Antares Acquisition with a combination of cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facility. We are targeting to close the Antares Acquisition during the second quarter of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Antares Acquisition, once completed, will expand Landsea Homes’ presence in the Dallas / Fort Worth metropolitan area, with over 3,000 controlled lots in Texas on a combined basis, including 1,761 from Antares. Set forth below is the supply of lots by state as of December 31, 2023 for both Landsea Homes and pro forma for the Antares Acquisition:

Note: Charts exclude 2 lots owned in NY Metro.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in this prospectus, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in the other documents which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, affairs, prospects, assets, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. If this occurs, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. For more information about our SEC filings, please see “Where You Can Find More Information” in the accompanying base prospectus. Please also read carefully the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the accompanying base prospectus. However, the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference herein or therein are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may become material and adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to the Offering

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to those of existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of such shares.

Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell shares of our common stock at or above the price you paid or at all, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile and may be adversely affected due to a number of factors, most of which we cannot control, including:

While we no longer expect to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq rules following the completion of this offering, we will continue to qualify for, and may choose to rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that would otherwise provide protection to our stockholders during a one-year transition period.

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, our controlling stockholder, an affiliate of the selling stockholder, beneficially owns a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of our common stock, making us a “controlled company.” Pursuant to Nasdaq listing standards, a “controlled company” may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq listing standards that would otherwise require it to have: (i) a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors; (ii) compensation of our executive officers determined by a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors; (iii) a compensation committee charter which, among other things, provides the compensation committee with the authority and funding to retain compensation consultants and other advisors; and (iv) director nominees selected, or recommended for the board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors. We currently rely on the exemptions described in clauses (ii) and (iv) above.

However, immediately following this offering, it is expected that our controlling stockholder will beneficially own less than a majority of our voting power, which means we will no longer qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards. The Nasdaq listing standards require that we (i) have at least one independent director on each of our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee by the date we ceased to qualify as a “controlled company,” (ii) have a majority of independent directors on each of our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee within 90 days of the date we ceased to qualify as a “controlled company” and (iii) have a fully independent compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee within one year of the date we ceased to qualify as a “controlled company.” We are also required to have a majority independent board of directors within one year of the date we ceased to qualify as a “controlled company” and to perform an annual performance evaluation of our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, our board of directors has determined that two of the four members of our compensation committee, two of the four members of our nominating and corporate governance committee, all of the members of our audit committee and four of the seven members of our board of directors are independent for purposes of the Nasdaq listing standards. Accordingly, during this transition period, you may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

INDICATIONS OF INTEREST

Certain members of the Company’s senior management team and board of directors and a family member of our Chairman have indicated an interest in purchasing up to an aggregate of $938,000 in shares of our common stock being offered by the selling stockholder in the offering, at a price equal to the per share public offering price. Specifically, John Ho, our Chief Executive Officer, Michael Forsum, our Chief Operating Officer, Kelly Rentzel, our General Counsel, Bruce Frank, a director, Mollie Fardule, a director, Tom Hartfield, a director, and Xinyao Murong, the wife of our Chairman, expect to purchase $200,000, $200,000, $12,000, $25,000, $100,000, $30,000 and $371,000, respectively, of the shares of common stock being offered hereby. However, because these indications are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, these insiders may elect to purchase fewer shares than they indicate an interest in purchasing or not to purchase any shares in this offering. In addition, the underwriters may elect to sell fewer shares or not to sell any shares in this offering to these insiders. The underwriters will receive the same discount from any shares sold to these insiders as they will from any other shares sold to the public in this offering.

Additionally, entities affiliated with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley Securities”) have indicated an interest in participating in this offering at the public offering price. However, because indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the underwriters may determine to sell more, less or no shares in this offering to any of these investors, or any of these investors may determine to purchase more, less or no shares in this offering.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The selling stockholder will receive all net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock in this offering. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholder.

The selling stockholder will pay its own fees and expenses in connection with this offering, including its legal and accounting fees.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

The following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock and the percentage of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder prior to this offering, the number of shares that may be offered under this prospectus supplement by the selling stockholder, and the number of shares of our common stock and the percentage of our common stock to be beneficially owned by the selling stockholder after completion of this offering, with and without exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase 365,217 additional shares, in each case based on 36,021,739 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 4, 2024 and assuming that the shares offered hereunder are sold as contemplated herein.

Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Shares of common stock subject to warrants and other convertible securities that are exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this prospectus supplement are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the selling stockholder for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the selling stockholder, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

UNDERWRITING

Subject to the terms and conditions of an underwriting agreement to be entered into among the underwriters, the selling stockholder and us, the underwriters named below, for whom B. Riley Securities, Inc. and BofA Securities, Inc. are acting as representatives, have agreed to purchase from the selling stockholder the following number of shares of common stock at a public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement:

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares of common stock offered hereby are subject to certain conditions precedent and that the underwriters will purchase all of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement if any of these shares are purchased.

Commissions and Expenses

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid to the underwriters by the selling stockholder and the proceeds the selling stockholder will receive before expenses. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of our common stock.

Shares sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any shares of common stock sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of up to $              per share of common stock from the public offering price.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal and accounting expenses, but excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $         . The selling stockholder will pay its own fees and expenses in connection with this offering, including its legal and accounting fees. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain of their expenses relating to this offering in an amount up to $350,000.

Option to Purchase Additional Shares

The selling stockholder has granted an option to the underwriters, exercisable for 30 days after the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to 365,217 additional shares of our common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discount. If the underwriters exercise this option, each will be obligated, subject to conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, to purchase a number of additional shares of our common stock proportionate to that underwriter’s initial amount reflected in the above table.

Lock-Up Agreements

We and our executive officers and directors and the selling stockholder and certain of its affiliates have agreed, subject to limited exceptions and other than the shares to be sold by the selling stockholder in this offering, for a period of 90 days, after the date of this prospectus supplement, without the prior written consent of B. Riley Securities, Inc. and BofA Securities, Inc., not to:

B. Riley Securities, Inc. and BofA Securities, Inc. may, in their sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the lock-up period, without notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject to lock-up agreements.

Indemnification

We and the selling stockholder have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option granted to them. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of our common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, they may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the representatives of the underwriters purchase our common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the representatives can require the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock, and, as a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the representatives will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Other Relationships

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full-service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates have provided from time to time, and may provide in the future, investment and commercial banking and financial advisory services to us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

We will cease to be an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more, (2) December 31, 2026, the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering, (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years, or (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these exemptions. We have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained in this prospectus may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following sets forth a summary of the material terms of our securities, including certain provisions of Delaware law and the material provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) and the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Second Amended and Restated Bylaws”). This summary is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities and is qualified entirely by reference to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Warrant Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2018, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company pursuant to which the public warrants and Private Placement Warrants were issued, as amended by the First Amendment to the Warrant Agreement, dated January 7, 2021 (as amended, the “Warrant Agreement”). You should refer to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws and the Warrant Agreement, which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the rights and preferences of our securities. The summary below is also qualified by reference to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), as applicable.

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 550,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. As of March 28, 2022, our issued and outstanding share capital consisted of: (i) 46,485,156 shares of Common Stock and (ii) no shares of preferred stock.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, under our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Common Stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and are entitled or will be entitled, as applicable, to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the holders of Common Stock shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Preemptive or Other Rights

The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for any preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, or other similar rights, including any redemption or sinking fund provisions. There is no liability for further calls or assessments by the Company.

Election of Directors

Under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, directors are elected annually by a plurality voting standard, whereby each of our stockholders may not give more than one vote per share towards any one director nominee.

Preferred Stock

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our Board is able, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding as of the date hereof.

Warrants

As of March 28, 2022, there were 15,525,000 public warrants and 5,500,000 Private Placement Warrants outstanding.

Public Warrants

Pursuant to the Warrant Amendment, each of our outstanding public warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one-tenth of one share of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.15 per one-tenth share ($11.50 per whole share of Common Stock). A public warrant holder may not exercise its warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock and therefore only ten warrants (or a number of warrants evenly divisible by ten) may be exercised at any given time by the public warrant holder. The warrants will expire January 7, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We are not obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant is exercisable, and we are not obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of a warrant, unless Common Stock issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant is not entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless.

The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part provides for the registration under the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the public warrants. We will use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if our Common Stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will be required to use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

We may call the warrants for redemption:

We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied, and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.

If we call the warrants for redemption as described above, our management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their warrants on a “cashless basis,” our management will consider, among other factors, our cash position, the number of warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on our stockholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of our warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, all holders of warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. If our management takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. If we call our warrants for redemption and our management does not take advantage of this option, Level Field Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and its permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their warrants received simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”) for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of  (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) multiplied by (ii) one minus the quotient of  (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Common Stock as reported during the ten trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the shares of Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock on account of such shares of Common Stock (or other shares of our capital stock into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above and (b) certain cash dividends, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the shares of our Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Common Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Common Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the warrant.

The warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of public warrants.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock or any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the warrants. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the warrant holder.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are transferable, assignable and salable, but they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by Landsea Holdings, the Sponsor or permitted transferees. Each warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. Other than the foregoing, the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants, including as to exercisability and exercise period. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than Landsea Holdings, the Sponsor or permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the public warrants.

If holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent.

Dividends

The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our Board at such time.

Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for our Common Stock and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws

Provisions of the DGCL and our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the Board. We believe that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging certain takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms and enhance the ability of the Board to maximize stockholder value. However, these provisions may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of us that a stockholder might consider is in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price of our Common Stock.

Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that we are not subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with an “interested stockholder” (which includes a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock) for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. However, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that have a similar effect to Section 203, except that they provide that Landsea Holdings, affiliates of Landsea Holdings and their respective successors and their direct and indirect transferees will not be deemed to be “interested stockholders,” so long as any such party continuously owns 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Company.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Meetings, Nominations and Proposals

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that special meetings of the stockholders (a) may be called at any time by the Board or the Chairman of the Board; and (b) shall be called by the Chairman of the Board or the Secretary of the Company upon the written request or requests of one or more persons who beneficially own shares representing at least 25% of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the matter or matters proposed to be brought before the special meeting and who comply with such procedures for calling a special meeting of stockholders as may be set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws. Our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws prohibit the conduct of any business at a special meeting other than as specified in the notice for such meeting. These provisions may have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers or changes in control or management of the Company.

Our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as director. In order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with such advance notice procedures and provide us with certain information. Our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws allow the Board or the chairman of a meeting of stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if such rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of the Company.

Supermajority Voting for Amendments to Our Governing Documents

Any amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of at least 70% of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board is expressly authorized to adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws and that our stockholders may amend our bylaws only with the affirmative vote of the holders at least 70% of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

No Cumulative Voting

The DGCL provides that a stockholder’s right to vote cumulatively in the election of directors does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation specifically provides otherwise. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting.

Removal of Directors; Vacancies

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Bylaws provide that directors may be removed with or without cause from office at any time, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. In addition, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Bylaws provide that any newly created directorships and any vacancies on the Board will be filled only by the affirmative vote of the majority of remaining directors. Therefore, while stockholders meeting the applicable requirements may call a special meeting for the purpose of removing directors, stockholders are not able to elect new directors to fill any resulting vacancies that may be created as a result of such a special meeting.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

The DGCL permits any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders to be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated bylaws preclude stockholder action by written consent once the Company is no longer controlled by Landsea Holdings.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of officers and directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws include provisions that eliminate, to the extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of officers and directors for monetary damages for actions taken as an officer or a director, as the case may be. Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide that we must indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to our officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance for our officers and directors as well as certain employees for certain liabilities.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against officers and directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving our directors or officers for whom indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. The DGCL does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then-outstanding voting power or the then-outstanding number of shares of common stock. No assurances can be given that our shares will remain so listed. We may use additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. As discussed above, the Board has the ability to issue preferred stock with voting rights or other preferences, without stockholder approval. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Corporate Opportunities

In recognition that Landsea Holdings and its affiliates may engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business that we do or other business activities that overlap or compete with our business, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for the allocation of certain corporate opportunities between us and Landsea Holdings. Specifically, Landsea Holdings and its affiliates will not compete with the Company in the “domestic homebuilding business,” as such term is defined therein, so long as it, together with its affiliates, controls more than 10% of the Company or has a representative serving on the Board.

Forum Selection Clause

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we select or consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have or declines to accept jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware) for any complaint asserting claims, including any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder in such capacity, any action as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery, or any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine as interpreted by Delaware state courts.

In addition, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be the federal district courts of the United States, but the forum selection provision will not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act.

Stockholder’s Agreement

On the closing of the Business Combination, the Company and Landsea Holdings entered into that certain Stockholder’s Agreement, whereby, among other things, the parties agreed (i) to certain board composition and nomination requirements, including rights to nominate directors in accordance with defined ownership thresholds, establish certain committees and their respective duties and allow for the compensation of directors, (ii) to provide Landsea Holdings with certain inspection and visitation rights, access to Company management, auditors and financial information, (iii) to provide Landsea Holdings with veto rights with respect to certain actions of the Company, (iv) not to, to the extent permitted by applicable law, share confidential information related to the Company, (v) to waive their right to jury trial and choose Delaware as the choice of law, and (vi) to vote their Common Stock in furtherance of the aforementioned rights, in each case on terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. In addition, Landsea Holdings also agreed not to compete with the Company in the “domestic homebuilding business,” as such term is defined therein, so long as it, together with its affiliates, controls more than 10% of the Company or has a representative serving on the Board.

On December 21, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Stockholder’s Agreement with Landsea Holdings to amend the terms of the Stockholder’s Agreement (the “Amendment”), to provide that the size of the Board be increased from nine (9) to eleven (11) directors, and to increase the number of directors designated by Landsea Holdings by one (1) director for so long as the Combined Ownership Percentage (as defined in the Stockholder’s Agreement) is greater than 39%.

Registration Rights

Under the Warrant Agreement, the Company has agreed to register shares of Common Stock underlying its warrants. Holders of our Private Placement Warrants and their permitted transferees can demand that we register the Private Placement Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants.

Pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement (the “Demand Registration Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company, dated June 19, 2018, those persons holding Founder Shares (as defined in the Demand Registration Rights Agreement) (the “LF Capital Restricted Stockholders”) and their permitted transferees can demand that we register the shares of Common Stock into which Founder Shares automatically converted at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination. The LF Capital Restricted Stockholders are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the LF Capital Restricted Stockholders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

The Company also provided Landsea Holdings, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and certain investors, pursuant to those certain Forward Purchase and Subscription Agreements entered into by certain investors, the Company and the Sponsor, on August 31, 2020, in connection with the Merger Agreement, with certain customary registration rights.

Listing of Securities

Our Common Stock and public warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “LSEA,” and “LSEAW,” respectively.

The following tables are prepared based on information provided to us by the Selling Holders. It sets forth the name and address of the Selling Holders, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Holders may offer pursuant to this prospectus, and the beneficial ownership of the Selling Holders both before and after the offering. We have based percentage ownership prior to this offering on 46,485,156 shares of Common Stock and 21,025,000 warrants outstanding, in each case as of March 28, 2022.

Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each Selling Holder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by the Selling Holder. Shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants and other convertible securities that are exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this prospectus are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or other security for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Therefore, in calculating percentages of shares of Common Stock owned by a particular Selling Holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of that particular Selling Holder’s warrants, if any, and did not assume the exercise of any other Selling Holder’s warrants.

The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 46,485,156 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 28, 2022. We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Holders will in fact sell any or all of such Common Stock or warrants. In addition, the Selling Holders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Common Stock and warrants in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the Selling Holders will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering.

Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the tables below is c/o Landsea Homes Corporation, 660 Newport Center Drive, Suite 300, Newport Beach, CA 92660.
