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

- 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.
