("Nationstar"), a subsidiary of Mr. Cooper Group Inc. ("Mr. Cooper"). The Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations expired at 5:01 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2025 (the "Expiration Date"). No tenders submitted after the Expiration Date are valid.

According to information provided to the Company by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Depositary and Information Agent for the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations, as of the Expiration Date, Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn with respect to (i) $574,308,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes, representing approximately 88.36% of the outstanding 2030 Notes and (ii) $535,765,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Notes, representing approximately 89.29% of the outstanding 2031 Notes.

The Company has accepted for purchase the Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations. The "Settlement Date" for the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations is expected to be on October 1, 2025, substantially concurrently with, and contingent upon, the expected closing of the Mr. Cooper Acquisition.

Any eligible holder (each such holder, an "Eligible Holder" and collectively, the "Eligible Holders") that validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 15, 2025 (the "Early Tender Deadline") were accepted for repurchase at a price of $1,012.50 per $1,000 of principal amount of the Tender Offer Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date on such purchased Tender Offer Notes up to, but not including, October 1, 2025, the expected settlement date (the "Tender Offer Settlement Date"). Tender Offer Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) after the Early Tender Deadline but prior to the Tender Offer Expiration Date were accepted for repurchase at a price of $962.50 per $1,000 of principal amount of the Tender Offer Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date on such purchased Tender Offer Notes up to, but not including, the Tender Offer Settlement Date.

On the Early Tender Deadline, the Company received consents (the "Requisite Consents") sufficient to amend the applicable Indentures governing the Notes to, (i) eliminate the requirement to make a "Change of Control" offer for the related Notes following the consummation of the Mr. Cooper Acquisition and future transactions, (ii) eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the applicable Indenture and the Notes, (iii) eliminate certain conditions to legal defeasance or covenant defeasance in the applicable Indenture and the Notes and (iv) eliminate all events of default other than events of default relating to the failure to pay principal of and interest on the Notes (collectively, the "Proposed Amendments"). On the Early Tender Deadline, Nationstar and the trustee of each series of Notes entered into a supplemental indenture to each Indenture to effect the Proposed Amendments, which became operative today, at the time that the Company accepted for purchase the applicable series of Notes satisfying the Requisite Consents in the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations.

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offers and Consent Solicitations are described in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated August 4, 2025 (the "Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement").
