Better Home & Finance ends poison pill early; Rights expire Oct. 6, 2026 and preferred designation is eliminated

Better Home & Finance Holding Co

Amendment No. 1 accelerated expiration of all outstanding Rights to close of business Oct. 6, 2026, from the 2027 annual meeting; the Rights Agreement then terminated.
Rights Agreement was dated Aug. 20, 2026 with Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as rights agent; the pill thus lasted only about seven weeks.
No shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock ($0.0001 par) were issued or outstanding when the Amendment was signed.
Certificate of Elimination filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on Oct. 7, 2026 removed the Preferred Shares, returning them to authorized but unissued and undesignated preferred stock.
With the Rights gone, the anti-takeover dilution protection the board put in place in August 2026 no longer applies to Class A, B or C stockholders.
