DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Beazer Homes USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), hereby files these post-effective amendments (these “Post-Effective Amendments”) to deregister all shares of the Registrant’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), remaining unissued under the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (each, a “Registration Statement”, and collectively, the “Registration Statements”) filed by the Registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

On October 20, 2026, the Registrant completed its previously announced merger (the “Merger”) with Bulldogs Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Dream Finders Homes, Inc., a Texas corporation (“Parent”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 6, 2026, by and among the Registrant, Parent and Merger Sub. The Registrant was the surviving corporation in the Merger and, as a result of the Merger, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. In connection with the Merger, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares held by the Registrant as treasury stock, held directly by Parent or Merger Sub, or held by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant or Parent) was automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $33.50 per share, without interest and subject to any required withholding of taxes.

As a result of the Merger, the offerings contemplated by the Registration Statements have been terminated as of the effective time of the Merger on October 20, 2026. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities registered but unsold at the termination of such offerings, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statements as of such effective time and terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused these Post-Effective Amendments to the Registration Statements described above to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, on October 20, 2026.

Pursuant to Rule 478 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no other person is required to sign these Post-Effective Amendments.
