• Resale Registration of $2.82B in Securities

  Registers 1.5M Series A-1 Preferred shares, 165M Class A Warrants ($6.00 strike), 165M Class B Warrants ($2.00 strike), and 330M underlying Class A common shares for resale by Oaktree and SFS Group.

• 330M Share Overhang on $1.21 Stock

  The 330M shares underlying the warrants represent nearly the entire current Class A float of 345M shares outstanding. With the stock at $1.21, both warrant strikes ($2.00 and $6.00) are out of the money, but the registration enables future sales if the stock recovers.

• New Terms: 4.99% Ownership Cap and PIK Dividends

  Non-Permitted Holders face a 4.99% beneficial ownership limit on warrant exercise. The preferred carries a 13% PIK dividend rate if cash dividends are not paid, compounding quarterly and increasing the stated value.

• Stockholder Approval Date Set for October 24, 2026

  SFS Group's warrants cannot be exercised until the Stockholder Approval Date of October 24, 2026, following the unanimous written consent received September 1, 2026.

This prospectus supplement registers for resale the securities issued in the August 5, 2026 Oaktree financing: 1.5 million Series A-1 Preferred shares, 165 million Class A Warrants (strike $6.00), 165 million Class B Warrants (strike $2.00), and 330 million underlying Class A common shares. The registration makes these securities freely tradable, creating a substantial overhang on UWMC's Class A common stock, which trades at $1.21 today — well below both warrant strike prices. The filing also reveals new terms: a 4.99% beneficial ownership cap on warrant exercise for non-Permitted Holders, a Stockholder Approval Date of October 24, 2026 for SFS Group's warrants, and a 13% PIK dividend rate on the preferred if cash dividends are not paid. Against the backdrop of UWMC's $451.9M Q2 loss, suspended dividend, and the $400M rights offering finalized September 29, this registration completes the capital structure overhaul that gives Oaktree and the Ishbia family a path to exit their positions.
