revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in Fiscal 2018. The transaction value was approximately $29&nbsp;million and was funded from available cash. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;This
acquisition allows us to accelerate our growth in two existing markets, with an immediate contribution to both profitability and return on assets and no increase in leverage,&#148; said Allan Merrill, President and CEO of Beazer Homes. &#147;In
addition to adding the new communities, we are pleased to welcome a number of new sales and construction colleagues who will enable us to pursue additional growth in Raleigh and Myrtle Beach in the years ahead.&#148; </P>
