As part of the agreement, Berkshire will disburse $72.50 for every share of Taylor Morrison. This signifies a 24% increase from the closing price on Friday, May 29. In total, the agreement prices Taylor Morrison at $6.8 billion, $8.5 billion when factoring in debt. The agreement is anticipated to finalize in the latter part of this year.
According to the FT, the effort to purchase Taylor Morrison was started by Greg Abel, the new CEO of Berkshire and Buffett's successor. As per sources knowledgeable about the talks, Abel initiated discussions with the company's CEO, Cheryl Palmer, during this spring. Taylor Morrison could ultimately combine with another Berkshire-affiliated company, Clayton Homes. Abel states that this will assist numerous Americans in "achieving the dream of owning a home."
Berkshire seems to be wagering on resurgence in housing demand in the US, even though the sector has faced challenges in recent years due to elevated mortgage rates and affordability concerns, according to CNBC. Bloomberg refers to the agreement as a "vote of confidence" in the US property market.
