Consent Deadline Extended to Sept 18
The Garg Group set September 18, 2026 as the updated target date for written consents to remove five directors, citing that many stockholders only recently received solicitation materials.
-
Injunction Request Rejected
Better's attempt to seek immediate injunctive relief to halt the consent solicitation through emergency federal-court action was rejected, according to the Garg Group.
-
Poison Pill Confirmed Not Triggered
Both Better's own counsel and the Delaware Court of Chancery have confirmed that signing and delivering a GREEN consent card will not trigger the Company's poison pill.
-
Threshold Status Unclear
The extension suggests the Garg Group may not yet have secured the 50.1% consent threshold needed to remove the five directors, though the filing does not disclose current consent counts.
Analysis · BETR · Finance
The Garg Group has moved its target date for written consents to September 18, 2026, giving recently contacted stockholders more time to review materials. The filing also discloses that Better's emergency federal-court injunction request was rejected and that both Better's own counsel and the Delaware Court of Chancery have confirmed signing a GREEN consent card will not trigger the poison pill. These are material developments in the proxy fight: the extended deadline signals the Garg Group may not yet have the 50.1% threshold, while the court rulings remove a key deterrent that may have suppressed stockholder participation.
