Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 5, 2024, Landsea Homes Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc., as representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”) and the selling stockholders named therein (the “Selling Stockholders”), pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell 6,086,957 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), to the Underwriters (the “Offering”). The price to the public in the Offering was $10.25 per Share. In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Stockholders granted the Underwriters the option, for 30 days after the date of the prospectus supplement relating to the Offering, to purchase up to 913,043 additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

The Offering was made under a prospectus supplement and related prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (Registration No. 333-252569).

Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company, the Company’s directors and executive officers, the Selling Stockholders and certain of their respective affiliates also agreed not to sell or transfer any Common Stock without first obtaining the written consent of the Representative, subject to certain exceptions, for 60 days after the date of the prospectus supplement relating to the Offering.

On December 9, 2024, the Offering closed, and the Selling Stockholders received net proceeds of approximately $59.4 million, after deducting the Underwriters’ discounts and commissions. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders, except that as reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on December 5, 2024, Landsea Holdings Corporation (“Landsea Holdings”) paid the Company approximately $4.3 million as settlement for various services provided by the Company to Landsea Holdings. Except as described in the preceding sentence, the Selling Stockholders received all of the proceeds from the sale of Shares offered by the Selling Stockholders thereby.

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification obligations of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and lock-up arrangements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibit.

A copy of the opinion of Latham & Watkins LLP relating to the validity of the securities issued and sold in the Offering is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.
