Finance of America Companies Inc.

A summary of the principal factors that create risk in investing in our securities and might cause actual results to differ from projections made in forward-looking statements is set forth below. In addition to the other information in the Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and our business:

•our ability to (1) expand our customer base and acquire and originate reverse mortgage loans efficiently while maintaining loan origination quality, (2) finance our reverse mortgage portfolio, and (3) profitably securitize or otherwise monetize our reverse mortgage portfolio, all of which will in turn depend upon our ability to manage the unique challenges presented by operating as a unified modern retirement solutions platform;

•our ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the efforts we have undertaken to transition to a unified lending platform and to streamline and enhance our marketing and originations operations and digital capabilities and generally, our ability to operate our business profitably;

•our ability to respond to significant changes in prevailing interest rates and to maintain profitable business operations;

•our geographic market concentration if the economic conditions in our current markets should decline or if our current markets are impacted by natural disasters;

•our ability to achieve anticipated returns from our capital investments in technology;

•our use of estimates in measuring or determining the fair value of the majority of our assets and liabilities, which may require us to write down the value of these assets or write up the value of these liabilities if the estimates prove to be incorrect;

•our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks;

•our Company may be adversely affected by the condition of the U.S. residential mortgage market and other economic, political, business, and/or competitive factors in our business markets and worldwide financial markets, including a sustained period of higher interest rates;

•our ability to manage changes in our licensing status, business relationships, or servicing guidelines with the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), or other governmental entities;

•our ability to obtain sufficient capital and liquidity to meet the financing and operational requirements of our business and our ability to comply with our debt agreements, including warehouse lending facilities, and pay down our substantial debt;

•our ability to repay or refinance our debt on reasonable terms as it becomes due;

•our ability to manage disruptions in the secondary home loan market, including the mortgage-backed securities market;

•our ability to finance and recover costs of our reverse mortgage servicing operations;

•our ability to maintain compliance with the extensive regulations we are subject to, including consumer protection laws applicable to reverse mortgage lenders, which may be highly complex;

•our ability to compete with national banks, which are not subject to state licensing and operational requirements;

•our ability to manage various legal proceedings, federal or state governmental examinations, and enforcement investigations we are subject to from time to time, the results of which are difficult to predict or estimate;

•our continued ability to remain in compliance with the terms of the consent orders issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”), which we assumed in connection with our acquisition of operational assets from American Advisors Group;

•our holding company status and dependency on distributions from FOA Equity;

•our ability to comply with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”);

•our common stock trading history has been characterized by low trading volume, which may result in an inability to sell your shares at a desired price, if at all; and

•our “controlled company” status under the NYSE rules, which exempts us from certain corporate governance requirements and affords stockholders fewer protections.
