Lawsuit to Block CrossCountry Merger Dismissed; Two Harbors Adjourns Vote to May 28, Board Reaffirms Support
summarizeSummary
The special meeting for Two Harbors Investment Corp.'s proposed merger with CrossCountry Mortgage has been adjourned to May 28, 2026, to allow for additional proxy solicitation. Crucially, a lawsuit seeking an injunction to block the stockholder vote was dismissed, with the court finding the plaintiff failed to show a likelihood of success. The Board unanimously reaffirmed its recommendation for stockholders to vote "FOR" the CrossCountry merger, which offers $12.00 per common share plus dividends. This news significantly de-risks the merger by removing a key legal challenge and provides a new timeline for the vote, which is critical for investors following the contested acquisition process involving a competing bid from UWM Holdings Corp.
