Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

On September 10, 2022, DiamondHead Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation ("DHHC"), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") with Hestia Merger Sub, Inc., a South Carolina corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of DHHC ("Merger Sub"), and Great Southern Homes, Inc., a South Carolina corporation ("GSH").

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between DHHC will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into GSH (the "Merger"), with GSH surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of DHHC. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the "Transactions"), DHHC expects to be renamed United Homes Group, Inc.

Pre-Closing Recapitalization of GSH

Prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), in order to facilitate the consummation of the Transactions, GSH will effect a pre-closing recapitalization (the "Pre-Closing Recapitalization"), including (i) authorizing two new classes of GSH common stock, such that the capitalization of GSH will consist of GSH Class A common stock, no par value, which will carry one vote per share ("GSH Class A Shares") and GSH Class B common stock, no par value, which will carry two votes per share ("GSH Class B Shares", and together with GSH Class A Shares, "GSH Shares"), (ii) exchanging each share of GSH common stock, no par value ("GSH Common Stock"), held by the Majority Stockholders (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) immediately prior to the Pre-Closing Recapitalization for a GSH Class B Share on a 1:1 basis, (iii) exchanging each share of GSH Common Stock held by each remaining stockholder of GSH for a GSH Class A Share on a 1:1 basis, (iv) amending, restating, supplementing or otherwise modifying GSH's governing documents to reflect the Pre-Closing Recapitalization, and (v) entering into, terminating, amending, restating, supplementing or otherwise modifying any contracts relating to equity securities of GSH to reflect the Pre-Closing Recapitalization.





Merger Consideration


Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, at the Effective Time:

(i) Each GSH Class A Share and each GSH Class B Share issued and outstanding as


     of immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares owned by GSH as
     treasury stock or dissenting shares) will be cancelled and converted into the
     right to receive the number of shares of DHHC's Class A common stock, par
     value $0.0001 per share ("DHHC Class A Shares"), and shares of DHHC's Class B
     common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("DHHC Class B Shares", together
     with the DHHC Class A Shares, the "DHHC Shares"), respectively, equal to the
     Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).



(ii) Each option to purchase GSH Shares ("GSH Option") that is outstanding and


      unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled in
      exchange for an option to purchase a number of DHHC Class A Shares as set
      forth on the Consideration Schedule (as defined in the Business Combination
      Agreement) at an exercise price as set forth on such Consideration Schedule.



(iii) Each warrant to purchase GSH Shares ("GSH Warrant") outstanding and


       unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be
       converted into a warrant to acquire a number of DHHC Class A Shares in an
       amount and at an exercise price and subject to such terms and conditions,
       in each case, as set forth on the Consideration Schedule. Subject to
       certain exceptions, such terms and conditions will be the same terms and
       conditions as were applicable to the GSH Warrant immediately prior to the
       Effective Time.



Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, DHHC is required to cause the DHHC Class A Shares to be issued in connection with the Transactions to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market ("Nasdaq") prior to the closing of the Merger (the "Closing" and the date on which the Closing occurs, the "Closing Date").




Earn Out Consideration



The holders of GSH Shares, GSH Options and GSH Warrants, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, will also have the contingent right to receive up to an aggregate of 20,000,000 Earn Out Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). Each such holder will be entitled to receive Earn Out Shares in accordance with their Earn Out Pro Rata Share (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) in three tranches upon the occurrence of the following milestones during the period commencing on the 90th day following the Closing Date and ending on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date: (i) a one-time issuance of 7,500,000 Earn Out Shares on the first date on which the volume weighted average price of DHHC Shares over any 20 trading days within the preceding 30 consecutive trading day period (as adjusted, the "VWAP Price") is greater than or equal to $12.50 ("Triggering Event I"); (ii) a one-time issuance of 7,500,000 Earn Out Shares on the first date on which the VWAP Price is greater than or equal to $15.00 ("Triggering Event II"); and (iii) a one-time issuance of 5,000,000 Earn Out Shares on the first date on which the VWAP Price is greater than or equal to $17.50 ("Triggering Event III", together with Triggering Event I and Triggering Event II, the "Earn-Out Milestones").

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



Certain statements, estimates, targets and projections in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between DHHC and GSH. Forward looking statements generally relate to future events or involving, or future performance of, DHHC or GSH. For example, statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which GSH operates and anticipated growth in demand for GSH's products, projections of GSH's future financial results and other metrics, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the proposed transaction between DHHC and GSH and the timing of the completion of the proposed transaction are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "pro forma", "may", "should", "could", "might", "plan", "possible", "project", "strive", "budget", "forecast", "expect", "intend", "will", "estimate", "anticipate", "believe", "predict", "potential" or "continue", or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by DHHC and its management, and GSH and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of DHHC's securities; (ii) the risk that the proposed transaction may not be completed by DHHC's business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by DHHC; (iii) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction; (iv) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the proposed transaction; (v) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against DHHC, GSH, the combined company or others following the announcement of the business combination agreement relating to the proposed transaction, the ancillary agreements contemplated thereby and the transactions contemplated thereby; (vi) the inability to complete the proposed transaction due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of DHHC or GSH or DHHC's failure to satisfy other conditions to closing; (vii) the risk that DHHC will not be able to raise third-party financing to meet the Minimum Cash Condition if redemptions of DHHC public shares cause the DHHC trust account to have insufficient funds (after giving effect to redemptions) to achieve the Minimum Cash Condition; (viii) changes to the proposed structure of the proposed transaction that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations; (ix) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the proposed transaction; (x) the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of GSH or diverts management's attention from GSH's ongoing business; (xi) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, and maintain relationships with customers and suppliers; (xii) costs related to the proposed transaction; (xiii) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (xiv) the possibility that GSH or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors such as rising interest rates or an economic downturn; (xv) GSH's estimates of expenses and profitability; (xvi) the evolution of the markets in which GSH competes; (xvii) the ability of GSH to implement its strategic initiatives; and (xviii) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in DHHC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and other risks and uncertainties indicated from the time to time in the definitive proxy statement to be delivered to DHHC's stockholders and related registration statement on Form S-4, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" therein, and other documents filed to be filed with the SEC by DHHC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and DHHC and GSH assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither DHHC nor GSH gives any assurance that either DHHC or GSH will achieve its expectations. The inclusion of any statement in this communication does not constitute an admission by DHHC or GSH or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.
