At the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Beazer Homes USA, Inc. (the "Company") held on February 5, 2026, the stockholders approved an amendment of the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of extending the protective provisions contained in our charter that expired in November 2025 (the "Protective Amendment Extension"). The Protective Amendment Extension is designed to assist in protecting the value of our net tax deferred assets, including NOLs and Energy-Efficiency Tax Credits, by limiting and/or prohibiting transfers of our stock that could affect the percentage of stock that is treated as being owned by a holder of 4.95% of the Company's shares.

On February 5, 2026, the Company filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Protective Amendment Extension. The Protective Amendment Extension will become effective on February 6, 2026.

A copy of the Certificate of Amendment, dated February 5, 2026, is attached hereto as <u>[Exhibit 3.1.](exhibit31-certificateofame.htm)</u> The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference.
