Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 13, 2010, NVR, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a “stalking horse” Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Orleans Homebuilders, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Seller”), under which the Company agreed to purchase substantially all of the land under development, homebuilding work in process and other related assets of the Seller (together, the “Assets”), subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement. The Seller is a debtor in a Chapter 11 case before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The effectiveness of the Agreement was subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, which the Seller sought to obtain by filing with the Bankruptcy Court a motion for approval. On May 19, 2010, the Seller, without the Company’s consent, withdrew its motion requesting that the Agreement be approved. The Seller has publicly announced plans to file a plan of reorganization rather than continuing with an auction process to sell the Assets under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
