Item 8.01. Other Events.
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.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s share repurchase authorization, as well as any other statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “outlook,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “preliminary,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on current available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Company disclaims any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Current Report. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the Company's annual report on Form 10K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.
