Better Home & Finance tells Nasdaq it fails board independence and committee rules after director exits
Better Home & Finance Holding Co
- On Oct 5, 2026 Better Home & Finance notified Nasdaq it fails Rules 5605(b)(1) (majority-independent board), 5605(c)(2) (3-member audit committee), 5605(d) and 5605(e)(1).
- Nasdaq's Oct 8, 2026 notice gives the company 45 calendar days to submit a compliance plan; the company intends to submit one within that period.
- The shortfall stems from director resignations and removals disclosed in Form 8-Ks filed October 2 and October 6, 2026.
- The notice has no immediate effect on listing of BETR Class A common stock or BETRW warrants, but failure to regain compliance could lead to delisting.
- The company said there is no assurance Nasdaq will accept its plan; the filing was signed by General Counsel Paula Tuffin on Oct 9, 2026.
