Two Harbors' Rival Merger Fails Second Time, Strengthening UWMC's Takeover Push
UWMC is trading near its 52-week low of $2.83 (12% above the low).
Summary
Two Harbors' proposed merger with CrossCountry Mortgage failed to secure shareholder approval for a second time, resulting in another adjournment of the special meeting. This development significantly strengthens UWM Holdings Corp.'s (UWMC) ongoing hostile takeover bid for Two Harbors (TWO). UWMC has been actively campaigning against the CCM transaction, arguing its $12.50 per share offer is superior. The repeated failure of the rival deal puts increased pressure on Two Harbors' board to engage with UWMC's acquisition proposal.
At the time of this announcement, UWMC was trading at $3.17 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $5.1B. The 52-week trading range was $2.83 to $7.14.
