15 Juli 2024 - 11:44PM
Business Wire
Finance of America Companies Inc. (“Finance of America” or the
“Company”) (NYSE: FOA), a leading provider of home equity-based
financing solutions for a modern retirement, today announced that
it expects its intended 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, previously disclosed on
June 27, 2024, to be effective as of July 25, 2024 at 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”). The Company’s Class A Common
Stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the
New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the existing symbol (FOA)
when the market opens on July 26, 2024. The new CUSIP number for
the Company’s Class A Common Stock following the reverse stock
split will be 31738L 206.
As of the Effective Time, every ten issued and outstanding
shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock will be automatically
reclassified into one issued and outstanding share of the Company’s
Class A Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued as a
result of the reverse stock split. Instead, Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s exchange agent, will
aggregate and sell any such fractional shares and the cash proceeds
of such sale will be issued to stockholders in lieu of fractional
shares on a pro rata basis. Proportionate adjustments will be made
to the terms of outstanding warrants, equity-based awards, limited
liability company units of Finance of America Equity Capital LLC
(the “Class A LLC Units”) (which are exchangeable for shares of
Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis), the Company’s equity
plans and certain other agreements, in accordance with the terms of
the applicable agreements.
With respect to the Company’s warrants, every ten shares of
Class A Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to the exercise
of warrants prior to the Effective Time represent one share of
Class A Common Stock that may be purchased pursuant to such
warrants following the Effective Time. The exercise price for each
warrant following the Effective Time equals the product of ten
multiplied by the exercise price prior to the Effective Time.
Accordingly, the exercise price for the Company’s public warrants
will be $115. The CUSIP number for the Company’s warrants will not
change.
Additionally, the reverse stock split will not affect the number
of authorized shares, the par value of the Class A Common Stock or
the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock.
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company is acting as the
exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders
holding pre-split shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock are
not required to take any action to receive post-reverse stock split
shares of Class A Common Stock in registered book-entry form or
cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, if applicable.
Stockholders owning shares through a broker, bank or other holder
of record are expected to have their positions automatically
adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split and cash payment in
lieu of fractional shares, if applicable, subject to any particular
processes of the holder of record. Stockholders that hold shares of
Class A Common Stock with a broker, bank or other holder of record,
should contact their holder of record with any questions in this
regard.
The reverse stock split is primarily intended to increase the
per share trading price of Finance of America’s Class A Common
Stock in order to meet the NYSE’s price criteria for continued
listing.
Additional information about the reverse stock split can be
found in Finance of America’s definitive information statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on
June 27, 2024, which is available free of charge at the SEC’s
website at www.sec.gov and on Finance of America’s website at
