Better Home & Finance Holding Company (NASDAQ: BETR; BETRW) (“Better” or the “Company”), a New York-based digitally native homeownership company, today announced that on Friday, August 16, 2024, it filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effecting its previously-announced 1-for-50 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock for the primary purpose of increasing the per share trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”). The Company’s Class A common stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq upon the market open on Monday, August 19, 2024, under the existing ticker symbol “BETR” with a new CUSIP number, which is 08774B508. The Company’s public warrants continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “BETRW” with the same CUSIP number.

Effective August 16, 2024, as a result of the reverse stock split, every 50 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock were converted into one issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock, as applicable, without any change to the par value per share, the voting rights of the common stock, any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s equity (subject to the effects of fractional shares) or any other aspect of the common stock. This reduced the number of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock from 424,783,460 shares to 8,497,010 shares, outstanding Class B common stock from 259,770,986 shares to 5,194,080 shares and outstanding Class C common stock from 71,877,283 shares to 1,437,545 shares. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would have otherwise received a fractional share of the Company’s common stock following the reverse stock split will receive a pro rata portion of cash proceeds from the aggregation and sale of all fractional shares by the exchange agent, Computershare Inc., together with its affiliate Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (800-546-5141 (Within the United States and Canada); 781-575-2765 (Outside the United States and Canada)). Stockholders are not required to take any action to exchange their shares.
