Better Home & Finance Holding Co

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. For a discussion of these risks, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 19, 2025. Other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed therein.

Risks Related to Ownership of Common Stock and Better Home & Finance Operating as a Public Company

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of our Class A common stock in the public market or other financings could cause our stock price to decline.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making offerings of debt or additional offerings of equity securities, including senior or subordinated notes and classes of preferred stock. For example, in September 2025, the Company implemented the ATM Program for sales of up to $75.0 million of our Class A common stock pursuant to its effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-287335) and the related prospectus supplement dated September 26, 2025. All of the shares sold or to be sold in the ATM Program upon issuance have been, and will continue to be, freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless these shares are purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). Please see Note 17 within the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for sales of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock under the ATM program.

We may also seek authorization to sell additional shares of our Class A common stock through other means which could lead to additional dilution for our stockholders. If we decide to issue senior securities in the future, it is likely that they will be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Holders of senior securities may be granted specific rights, including the right to hold a perfected security interest in certain of our assets, the right to accelerate payments due under an indenture, rights to restrict dividend payments, and rights to require approval to sell assets. In addition, shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, options, restricted stock units and shares reserved for future issuance under our incentive stock plan or stock purchase plan will be eligible for sale in the public market to the extent permitted by applicable vesting requirements and, in some cases, subject to compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. As a result, these shares can be freely sold in the public market upon issuance, subject to restrictions under securities laws

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market by us or existing stockholders, or the perception that such sales might occur in the future or the occurrence of other financings, could depress the market price of our Class A common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. The registration of shares of Class A common stock for resale creates the possibility of a significant increase in the supply of our Class A common stock in the market. The increased supply, coupled with the potential disparity in purchase prices, could lead to heightened selling pressure, which could negatively affect the public trading price of our Class A common stock.

The market price of our Class A common stock has been extremely volatile and may continue to be volatile due to numerous circumstances beyond our control.

The market price of our Class A common stock has fluctuated, and may continue to fluctuate, widely, due to many factors, some of which may be beyond our control. These factors include, without limitation:

•large stockholders exiting their position in our Class A common stock or an increase or decrease in the short interest in our Class A common stock;

•changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other issuers that investors deem comparable to us;

•continued access to working capital funds;

•addition or departure of our executive officers and other key personnel;

•the announcement of new customers, partners or suppliers;

•sales or perceived sales of additional Class A common stock;

•news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in our industry;

•negative public perception of us, our management, or our industry; and

•overall general market fluctuations.

Stock markets in general and our stock price in particular have recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies and our company. For example, on September 22, 2025, our Class A common stock experienced an intra-day trading high of $94.06 per share and a low of $33.24 per share. In addition, from January 22, 2025 to November 10, 2025, the closing price of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq ranged from as low as $9.25 to as high as $86.07 and daily trading during this period volume ranged from approximately 10,900 to 8,344,100 shares. During this time, we have not experienced any material changes in our financial condition or results of operations that would explain such price volatility or trading volume. These and other external factors have caused and may continue to cause the market price and demand for our Class A common stock to fluctuate, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of Class A common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our Class A common stock.
