Director Candidates Named

Analysis · BETR · Finance
The Garg Group escalated its proxy fight by publicly demanding that Better Home & Finance retract its September 23 press release disputing the >46% voting support claim. The filing states that Garg's proxy solicitor met with Better's General Counsel Paula Tuffin and presented evidence substantiating the support level, yet the company has not issued a correction. This is a material governance dispute: if the >46% figure is accurate, Garg is close to the threshold needed to remove five directors, including interim CEO Daniel Lewis. The filing also names three independent director candidates — Bing Gordon, David Heidecorn, and Steve Sarracino — signaling Garg's intended board slate. The outcome of this consent solicitation will determine control of the board and the company's strategic direction.
