Introductory Note

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 11, 2023, Home Point Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) on May 10, 2023, with Mr. Cooper Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Heisman Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”).

On July 27, 2023, the Company repaid all advances and other obligations outstanding under that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2021 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, Home Point Financial Corporation, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as the sole lender, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as the administrative agent, and thereafter terminated the Credit Agreement and all commitments previously available thereunder on July 28, 2023.

The information contained in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Parent caused Acquisition Sub to commence a tender offer (the “Offer”), to acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0000000072 per share, of the Company (such shares, the “Shares” and such stock, the “Company Common Stock”), other than the excluded shares, for $2.33 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon (the “Offer Price”), and subject to any required withholding, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement.

The Offer was extended through 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Monday, July 31, 2023, and at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 31, 2023, the Offer expired. Parent was advised by Equiniti Trust Company, in its capacity as depository and paying agent for the Offer (the “Depository and Paying Agent”), that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 136,532,192 Shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer, representing approximately 98.5% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer.

As of the expiration of the Offer, the number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied or waived. Acquisition Sub has accepted for payment all of the Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

Following the consummation of the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), Acquisition Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent in accordance with the DGCL. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share that is not (i) validly tendered and irrevocably accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, (ii) held by a stockholder who is entitled to, and have properly exercised and perfected their demand for, appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, or (iii) held by Parent, Acquisition Sub, or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, was thereupon converted into the right to receive the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Parent has transmitted, or caused to be transmitted, payment for such Shares to the Depository and Paying Agent, who will disburse the Merger Consideration to tendering Company stockholders whose Shares have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

At the Effective Time, each of the Company’s stock options (the “Options”) that was outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (1) the Merger Consideration over (2) the per-share exercise price for such Option multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares underlying such Option. Each Option that was unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject solely to time-based vesting conditions, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, vested and was cancelled and was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (1) the Merger Consideration over (2) the per-share exercise price for such Option multiplied by (y) the total number of Shares underlying such Option. At the Effective Time, each Option that was unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to performance-based vesting conditions, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, was cancelled with no consideration. In each case, if the exercise price per Share of such Option was equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Option was cancelled without any cash payment or other consideration being made in respect thereof.

At the Effective Time, the portion of each of the Company’s restricted stock unit awards (the “RSUs”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, vested (if unvested) and was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares underlying such RSU (including any Shares in respect of dividend equivalent units credited thereon) multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration.

At the Effective Time, the portion of each of the Company’s performance stock unit awards (the “PSUs”) that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares underlying such PSU (with such number determined in accordance with the terms of the Company equity plan and applicable award agreements, as determined by the Board or a committee thereof after consultation with Parent prior to the Effective Time) (including any Shares in respect of dividend equivalent units credited thereon) multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration.

The Merger Consideration was funded through a variety of sources, including cash on hand.

The foregoing description of the Offer, the Merger and the Merger Agreement is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on May 11, 2023 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company also intends to file a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of the Company Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
