On January 22, 2025, Better Home & Finance Holding Company (the “Company”) announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $25.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), that will expire on December 31, 2025 (the “Repurchase Authorization”).
The timing and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company at its discretion based on ongoing evaluation of general market conditions, the market price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, the Company’s capital needs and other factors. Under the Repurchase Authorization, share repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market or privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated repurchase transactions, block trades or trading plans intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Repurchase Authorization does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of Class A Common Stock, and it may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time at the Company’s discretion. The Company currently expects to fund the Repurchase Authorization using existing cash and cash equivalents, and/or future cash flows.

Better Home & Finance Holding Company Announces $25 Million Share Repurchase Program

January 22, 2025 04:30 PM Eastern Standard Time

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Better Home & Finance Holding Company (NASDAQ: BETR; BETRW) announces that its board of directors approved a $25 million share repurchase program. Better may repurchase shares of Class A common stock from time to time, at management’s discretion, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated repurchase transactions, block trades or trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and total amount of share repurchases will be based on ongoing evaluation of general market conditions, prevailing prices of the Class A common stock, Better’s capital needs and other factors. The share repurchase program expires on December 31, 2025, may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

"We believe we are in a new era for homeownership in America, where AI-driven mortgage solutions which make homeownership more affordable and more accessible will be at the forefront,” said Vishal Garg, CEO and Founder of Better. “As such, we believe Better is poised to be a significant beneficiary of the coming deregulation in financial services and housing. This buyback will both provide liquidity to the market for our stock and demonstrates to the market our belief that the stock is currently undervalued considering Better’s strong capital position, the prospects of growing our B2B business, our technology advantage vis-à-vis the traditional mortgage industry, and our deployment of AI across the entire organization to streamline and make the homeownership journey better for all Americans."
