EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the original Schedule 13D filed on September 1, 2023 (the “Original Schedule 13D”, and together with Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of the Issuer, Better Home & Finance Holding Company, a Delaware corporation, formerly Aurora Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company. Except as provided herein, all Items of the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged and this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any information previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.
This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to reflect the current percentage of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons following an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, and correct the calculation of the percentage of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons included in the Original Schedule 13D, which due to an inadvertent error provided the percentage of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 (and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons rather than the percentage of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (as calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act).
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The response set forth in Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting the previous response in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
(a) – (b) The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.
(c) Except as reported herein, none the Reporting Persons have effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past sixty (60) days.
(d) Except as otherwise described in this Item 5, no one other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as described in this Item 5.
(e) Not applicable.
SIGNATURES
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of its knowledge and belief, the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
