Explanation of Responses:
1. On August 22, 2023, in connection with the completion of the Issuer's (as defined below) initial business combination (the "Business Combination") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the "Merger Agreement"), dated May 10, 2021, by and among Aurora Acquisition Corp. ("Aurora"), Aurora Merger Sub I, Inc., and Better Holdco Inc., outstanding units of Aurora automatically separated and converted, with each unit converting into one share of the Issuer's Class A common stock and one-quarter of one warrant to purchase shares of common stock of the Issuer (each, an "Issuer Warrant") for no additional consideration. The Issuer Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 and will expire on August 22, 2028, five years from the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As part of the Business Combination, Aurora changed its name to Better Home & Finance Holding Company (the "Issuer").
2. In connection with the completion of the Business Combination, the Class B ordinary shares of Aurora, par value $0.0001 per share, automatically converted into shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis for no additional consideration.
Remarks:
Following the Business Combination the Reporting Person is no longer serving as Chief Executive Officer of Aurora but serves as Director of the Issuer, and therefore will continue to be subject to Section 16 reporting requirements. Exhibit 24.1 - Power of Attorney
