SUBJECT TO COMPLETION
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS DATED JULY 14, 2023
United Homes Group, Inc.
Secondary Offering of
Up to 21,544,588 Class A Common Shares
$80,000,000 Senior Convertible Promissory Notes due 2028
This prospectus relates to the offer and resale, from time to time, of up to 21,544,588 shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Class A Common Shares”) of United Homes Group, Inc. (the “Company” and f/k/a DiamondHead Holdings Corp., or “DHHC”) by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus, including their permitted transferees, donees, pledgees and other successors-in-interest (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”), consisting of (i) 744,588 Class A Common Shares issued to the Selling Stockholders in a private placement PIPE investment (the “PIPE Investment”), pursuant to a note purchase agreement entered into on March 21, 2023 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company, Great Southern Homes, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“GSH”), and certain investors (the “Convertible Note Investors”), and (ii) up to 20,800,000 Class A Common Shares issuable upon conversion of a series of four senior convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). The number of Class A Common Shares registered under this prospectus represent the maximum number of Class A Common Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes, including payment of interest on the Notes through March 30, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”), determined as if the outstanding Notes were converted in full at a conversion price of $5.00 per Class A Common Share. Of the 20,800,000 Class A Common Shares being registered that are issuable upon conversion of the Notes, 16,000,000 Class A Common Shares may be issued pursuant to the conversion of the principal amount of the Notes and 4,800,000 Class A Common Shares may be issued pursuant to the conversion of accrued interested over the term of the Notes.
This prospectus also relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Stockholders of the Notes themselves. The Notes bear interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15.0%) per annum for the first four years following the Notes’ issue date of March 30, 2023 (the “Issue Date”). The interest rate increases by one percent (1.0%) annually beginning on the fourth anniversary of the Issue Date of the Notes. The Notes mature and the entire unpaid principal amount and unpaid accrued interest on the Notes become payable on the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, March 30, 2028 (“the Maturity Date”). Each Note (or any portion of a Note) is convertible at a holder’s option into Class A Common Shares, at any time after the first anniversary of the closing date of the Business Combination on March 30, 2024 (the “Merger Anniversary Date”) until the Maturity Date of such Note, at a per share price equal to 80% of the value weighted average trading price per Class A Common Share during the thirty (30) consecutive days prior to the Merger Anniversary Date (such thirty-day period, the “Measurement Period”), subject to a floor price of $5.00 and a maximum price of $10.00 per share. The conversion price is subject to customary adjustments for certain corporate events as provided in the Notes. If any such event occurs, the number of Class A Common Shares issuable upon conversion may be higher than implied by the initial conversion price. The Notes may be redeemed by the Company at any time prior to sixty (60) days before the Maturity Date by payment of all principal amounts and interest remaining outstanding at the time of redemption plus an additional amount to compensate the Convertible Note Investors for the early repayment. The Notes are also subject to conversion at the option of the Company following the second anniversary of March 30, 2023, but only if during a specified period following such second anniversary the Class A Common Shares trade at a price equal to or over $13.50 per share. See the sections titled “Private Placement of Notes” for further description of the Notes.
We are registering the Class A Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes, the Class A Common Shares issued to the Convertible Note Investors in connection with the PIPE Investment, and the Notes themselves (together, the “Registrable Securities”) for resale pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement between us, GSH, and the Convertible Note Investors. Our registration of the Registrable Securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Stockholders will offer or sell any of the Registrable Securities registered hereby. The Selling Stockholders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of their Registrable Securities publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Stockholders may sell the Registrable Securities in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.” We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Selling Stockholders. See the sections titled “Private Placement of Notes” for a description of the transaction contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement and “Selling Stockholders” for additional information regarding the Selling Stockholders.
The Selling Stockholders will determine the timing, pricing and rate at which they sell the securities covered by this Registration Statement into the public market. While certain Selling Stockholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price of our Class A Common Shares, public investors may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price of our Class A Common Shares. Even if the trading price is significantly below the Company’s initial public offering price or the market price as of the date of this prospectus, the Selling Stockholders may have an incentive to sell their securities, because they will still profit on sales due to the lower prices at which they purchased their securities as compared to the public investors. The aggregate gross amount of the PIPE Investment was $75,000,000, in exchange for which the Convertible Note Investors received Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $80,000,000 and 744,588 Class A Common Shares. No additional consideration was paid by the Convertible Note Investors for the Class A Common Shares. Based on the closing price of the Class A Common Shares on July 7, 2023, which was $10.54 per share, and assuming the resale by the Selling Stockholders of (i) all 744,588 Class A Common Shares acquired in the PIPE Investment (ii) all 20,800,000 Class A Common Shares that may be issuable upon conversion of the Notes, and being registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the Selling Stockholders could earn approximately $227.1 million in aggregate proceeds from the resale of such shares. The 744,588 shares issued to the Convertible Note Investors in connection with the PIPE Investment were issued in exchange for the Convertible Note Investors agreeing to participate in the Convertible Note offering and were ascribed a value of $5.00 per share, which would result in a gain to the Selling Stockholders of approximately $4.1 million based on the closing price of the Class A Common Shares on July 7, 2023. The 20,800,000 Class A Common Shares that may be issuable upon conversion of the Notes will be issued at a conversion price determined in accordance with the terms of the Notes, which price will be no less than $5.00 per share and no more than $10.00 per share. Assuming a midpoint conversion price of $7.50 per share, the Selling Stockholders would receive a gain of approximately $63.2 million based on the closing price of the Class A Common Shares on July 7, 2023.
Our Class A Common Shares and public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “NASDAQ”) under the symbols “UHG” and “UHGWW,” respectively. On July 7, 2023, the closing price of our Class A Common Shares was $10.54 per share and the closing price of our Public Warrants was $0.59 per warrant.
The Class A Common Shares being offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders represent approximately 67% of the total Class A Common Shares outstanding as of July 7, 2023, assuming no Warrants are exercised and no Notes are converted. In addition, we have concurrently filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-271515) (the “Warrants S-1”) to register the primary issuance of up to 11,591,664 Class A Common Shares, consisting of (i) up to 8,625,000 Class A Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of public warrants (the “Public Warrants”), which are exercisable at a price of $11.50 per share; and (ii) up to 2,966,664 Class A Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), which are exercisable at a price of $11.50 per share, and the resale of (i) 421,000 Class A Common Shares issued in a private offering, (ii) 2,966,664 Class A Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, and (iii) 2,966,664 Private Placement Warrants. The Class A Common Shares being registered for resale under the Warrants S-1, which includes up to (i) 421,100 Class A Common Shares issued in a private offering, and (ii) 2,966,664 Class A Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, represent approximately 23.6% of the total Class A Common Shares outstanding as of July 7, 2023, assuming no Public Warrants are exercised and no Notes are converted. The total amount being registered for resale on this registration statement and the Warrants S-1 represents approximately 57% of the total Class A Common Shares outstanding as of July 7, 2023, assuming that all Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are exercised and the Notes are converted. The sale of all of the Class A Common Shares being registered for potential resale pursuant to this prospectus and the Warrants S-1, or the perception in the market that such sales may occur, may cause the market price of our securities to decline significantly.
