The filing finalizes the terms of the merger, including a fixed exchange ratio of 2.3328 shares of UWMC Class A Common Stock for each outstanding share of TWO Common Stock. Based on UWMC's current stock price of $4.70, the implied value for Two Harbors common stockholders is approximately $10.96 per share, which is below Two Harbors' last reported closing price of $11.27 on February 10, 2026. This represents a decrease in implied value for Two Harbors shareholders since the deal's initial announcement.
The merger is strategically important for UWMC, as it aims to strengthen its market position, accelerate the transition to in-house servicing operations, and is projected to be accretive to UWMC's earnings per share and book value, while also deleveraging the company. The combined entity is expected to have a pro forma equity market capitalization of approximately $8.9 billion.
Shareholders of Two Harbors will vote on the merger on March 16, 2026. The filing also discloses pending litigation challenging the merger, alleging a materially incomplete and misleading registration statement, which Two Harbors intends to vigorously defend. The fixed exchange ratio exposes Two Harbors shareholders to fluctuations in UWMC's stock price until closing.
