Finance of America Announces $2.5 Billion Strategic Partnership with Funds Managed by Blue Owl to Expand FOA's Home Equity Lending

Includes $50 million equity investment in Finance of America, deepening the companies' long-standing relationship and creating greater long-term alignment

Finance of America Companies Inc. ("Finance of America" or the "Company") (NYSE:FOA), a leading provider of home equity-based financing solutions for a modern retirement, and funds managed by Blue Owl Capital, Inc. ("Blue Owl") (NYSE:OWL), a leading alternative asset manager, today announced the expansion of a $2.5 billion strategic partnership aimed at accelerating product innovation and distribution for the nation's fast-growing retirement demographic.

The enhanced partnership includes:

• $2.5 billion commitment for new product innovation, providing scale and liquidity to support origination growth across multiple asset classes
• $50 million equity investment in Finance of America, enhancing long-term alignment between the companies and supporting FOA's continued growth initiatives
• Joint innovation and product-development initiative focused on the continuous rollout of new, differentiated financial products tailored for people looking to maximize freedom, security and opportunity throughout their retirement

This product expansion will complement FOA's existing industry-leading reverse mortgage product suite while reinforcing the Company's commitment to innovation and its role as a leader in delivering transformative financial solutions for retirees. FOA continues to empower retirees with responsible, flexible access to capital to support aging in place, healthcare expenses, and lifestyle goals.

"This is a pivotal moment not just for Finance of America, but for the senior finance market as a whole," said Graham Fleming, Chief Executive Officer of Finance of America. "By aligning with Blue Owl, we are creating a platform of scale and innovation to better serve one of the fastest-growing demographics in the United States."

The partnership reinforces Finance of America's mission to provide comprehensive, retirement-focused financial solutions, expanding beyond reverse mortgages to become the leading, full-spectrum home equity lending platform in the country.

"We believe Finance of America is uniquely positioned to redefine how financial products are delivered to retirees," said David Aidi, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of Asset Based Finance at Blue Owl. "This partnership provides the capital, the strategic alignment, and the innovation engine to build category-defining products at scale," added Ray Chan, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of Asset Based Finance at Blue Owl.

With more than 10,000 Americans entering retirement age every day, the addressable market for home equity access continues to expand. FOA's collaboration with Blue Owl positions it to capture significant share in this rapidly evolving sector.
