ITEM 7.01    REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On September 9, 2009, Standard Pacific Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing, among other matters, a proposed offering by its wholly owned subsidiary, Standard Pacific Escrow LLC (“Escrow LLC”), of $200 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”) in a private offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase certain outstanding notes of the Company through tender offers, and to the extent there are any remaining proceeds, for the redemption or repurchase of other outstanding debt. Under certain conditions, the Company will assume Escrow LLC’s obligations under the notes. If those conditions are not met, including if the tender offers for the Company’s outstanding notes are not consummated, the 2016 Notes will be automatically redeemed. The press release related to the offering of the notes is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the offering, the Company announced that in August 2009, it unwound two Southern California joint ventures. In connection with these transactions, the Company acquired approximately $80.3 million of real estate inventories which consisted of 38 completed homes, eight model homes, 10 homes under construction and 57 finished lots, and assumed approximately $52.0 million of secured project debt. In addition, subsequent to unwinding one of these joint ventures, the Company paid off approximately $22.9 million of secured project debt. As of September 8, 2009, the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures had approximately $46.8 million of recourse debt which was subject to loan-to-value maintenance agreements (three joint ventures).
