The company had previously estimated to price the offering at $20 to $22 per share.

The shares will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will trade under the ticker symbol "TMHC" beginning on April 10.

Total net proceeds to the company from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, will be about $590.9 million.
