PLANO, Texas–(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.
