LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B. Riley FBR, Inc., a leading full service investment bank and wholly-owned subsidiary of B. Riley Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY), acted as the lead bookrunning manager in the initial public offering of 4 million shares, upsized from 3.5 million, of common stock of Legacy Housing Corporation (the “Company”).

Legacy Housing Corporation is the fourth largest producer of manufactured homes in the United States. The Company builds, sells and finances manufactured homes and “tiny houses” that are distributed through a network of independent retailers and company-owned stores, and are sold directly to manufactured housing communities.

B. Riley FBR priced the 4 million shares on December 13, 2018 above the midpoint of the range at $12.00 per share. In addition, B. Riley FBR exercised its option to purchase an additional 600,000 shares at the public offering price, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $55.2 million.

Separately, in a privately negotiated transaction, B. Riley FBR has agreed to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from Dechomai Asset Trust, a current stockholder of the Company, at a price of $12.50 per share. The shares will be held by B. Riley FBR for its own principal investment.

Curt Hodgson, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Housing commented: “B. Riley FBR did a remarkable job executing Legacy’s IPO in an extremely difficult and volatile market environment in mid-December. Their investment banking team gave us thoughtful and timely advice through the process, and I was very impressed with the quality of investors introduced to us by their sales force.”
