Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K only speaks at the date hereof and contains, and related discussions may contain, “forward- looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. These statements include descriptions regarding the intent, belief, estimates, assumptions or current expectations of Aurora, Better or their respective officers with respect to the consolidated results of operations and financial condition, future events and plans of Aurora and Better. These forward-looking statements may be identified by a reference to a future period or by the use of forward-looking terminology. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “expect”, “believe”, “foresee”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “goal”, “strategy”, “plan”, “target” and “project” or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “could” or “would” or the negative of these terms, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon management’s current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which are inherently uncertain and beyond Aurora’s and Better’s control. Such expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections are expressed in good faith, and management believes there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Better is experiencing significant changes within the mortgage lending and servicing ecosystem which have magnified such uncertainties. In the past, actual results have differed from those suggested by forward-looking statements and this may happen again.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, Better’s performance, capabilities, strategy, and outlook; our expectations regarding the sustainability of Better’s rapid growth and its ability to manage its growth effectively; the demand for Better’s solutions and products and services, including the size of Better’s addressable market, market share, and market trends; Better’s ability to operate under and maintain Better’s business model; Better’s ability to develop and protect its brand; our expectations regarding financial performance including Better’s operational and financial targets; our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and Better’s need for additional financing; the degree of business and financial risk associated with certain of Better’s loans; the high volatility in, or any inaccuracies in the estimates of, the value of Better’s assets; any changes in macro-economic conditions and in U.S. residential real estate market conditions, including changes in prevailing interest rates or monetary policies and the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; Better’s expectations regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Better’s business including on the volume of consumers refinancing existing loans, Better’s ability to produce loans, liquidity and employees; Better’s competitive position; Better’s ability to improve and expand its information technology and financial infrastructure, security and compliance requirements and operating and administrative systems; Better’s future investments in its technology and operations; Better’s intellectual property position, including its ability to maintain, protect and enhance Better’s intellectual property; the need to hire additional personnel and Better’s ability to attract and retain such personnel; Better’s ability to obtain additional capital and maintain cash flow or obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us; the effects of Better’s existing and future indebtedness on its liquidity and Better’s ability to operate our business; our expectations concerning relationships with third parties; Better’s plans to adopt the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”); the impact of laws and regulations and Better’s ability to comply with such laws and regulations including laws and regulations relating to fair lending, real estate brokerage matters, title and settlement services, consumer protection, advertising, tax, title insurance, loan production and servicing activities, data privacy, and anti-corruption; any changes in certain U.S. government-sponsored entities and government agencies, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and the FHA; Aurora’s expectations regarding the period during which we will qualify as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act; the increased expenses associated with being a public company; and Better’s anticipated use of existing resources and the proceeds from the Business Combination.

There may be other risks not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results to differ materially. Analysis and opinions contained in this communication may be based on assumptions that, if altered, can change the analysis or opinions expressed. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this communication, the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this report will be achieved, and you are cautioned not to place substantial weight or undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, Aurora and Better each disclaims any obligation, except as required by law, to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock and of Company Warrants as of the Company Record Date (as defined below) (each a “Holder”), shall be entitled to receive such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, upon exchange of their shares of Company Capital Stock and of their Company Warrants for shares of Acquiror Capital Stock in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in the exchange agent agreement executed between the Acquiror and the Exchange Agent. No interest shall be paid or accrued upon the transfer of any share.

(c) Each Holder shall automatically be deemed to have made an Ordinary Stock Election by the Exchange Agent and shall not be required to complete a Form of Election (as defined below). Each Holder that is eligible to make a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article III, to submit an Election (as defined below) in accordance with this clause (c) on or prior to the Election Deadline. The Company shall not waive the Election Deadline unless such Election Deadline is waived with respect to all Holders, the new election deadline is disclosed by the Company

-5-

to all Holders on a date agreed to by Acquiror, and Acquiror has otherwise given its prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such waiver. “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date which the parties shall agree is as near as practicable to three (3) Business Days preceding the Closing Date. The parties shall cooperate to inform each eligible Holder of the selected date of the Election Deadline not more than fifteen (15) Business Days before, and at least five (5) Business Days prior to, the Election Deadline.

(d) Each Holder that is eligible to make a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this clause (d)(i) (an “Election”) whether such Holder desires to make a (A) solely in the event that such Holder establishes that it is a Bank Holding Company, a BHC Stock Election, or (B) Non-Voting Stock Election, in each case with respect to some or all of the shares of Company Common Stock held by such Holder (or, as applicable, that will be held by such Holder on an as converted basis). If any such Holder fails to apply an Election to all of such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock, the portion of such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such Holder did not attempt to make an Election shall be automatically treated as an Ordinary Stock Election or in the case of SoftBank only, a Non-Voting Stock Election.

(e) Acquiror shall prepare a form of election that is reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Form of Election”) and if requested by any holder eligible to make a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election, Acquiror shall mail, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail and deliver, the Form of Election to any such Holders as of the record date established by the Board of Directors of the Company, in consultation with Acquiror, for purposes of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval by written consent (the “Company Record Date”) not less than 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline or if later, two (2) Business Days after such request (the period between such mailing and the Election Deadline, the “Election Period”) . Acquiror shall use reasonable best efforts to make available one or more Forms of Election as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all persons who become Holders during the period following the Company Record Date and prior to the Election Deadline that are eligible to make a BHC Stock Election or Non-Voting Stock Election.

(f) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by the Election Deadline, (A) a Form of Election properly completed and signed in accordance with the instructions therein, and (B) the properly completed and executed documents required to be delivered by such Holder pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 3.2. Any Holder who is a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (not including the Excluded Shares) that does not make a valid Election by the Election Deadline shall be deemed to have made, as applicable, an Ordinary Stock Election or, in the case of SoftBank only, a Non-Voting Stock Election.

-6-

(g) Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his, her or its Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, together with a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election. Any subsequent transfer of such Holder’s shares of Company Common Stock or Company Warrants after such Holder has made an Election shall automatically revoke such Election (and such subsequent transferee may make a new Election pursuant to and if permitted by the terms of clause (c)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the Company or Acquiror that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article X. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine if any Election is not properly made, changed or revoked with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock or Company Warrants (none of the Company, Acquiror, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Holder of any applicable defect). In the event the Exchange Agent makes a reasonable determination that an Election was not properly made (including as a result of the Exchange Agent not receiving an Election by the Election Deadline), such Election shall be deemed to be ineffective, and if the Holder is a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock (not including the Excluded Shares), then the Holder shall be deemed to have made, an Ordinary Stock Election or, in the case of SoftBank only, a Non-Voting Stock Election, with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock covered by the ineffective Election.

(h) Promptly following the date that is one (1) year after the First Effective Time, Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to Acquiror all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to Acquiror, and any Person that was a Holder of shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time that has not exchanged such shares of Company Common Stock for an applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.2 prior to the date that is one (1) year after the First Effective Time, may transfer such shares of Company Common Stock to Acquiror and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and Acquiror shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company, the First-Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such shares shall not have not been transferred immediately prior to such date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

-7-

(i) In the event that the Company or Acquiror changes the number of shares of Company Common Stock, Acquiror Common Stock, shares of capital stock of the Company, shares of capital stock of Acquiror or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock, Acquiror Common Stock, shares of capital stock of the Company or shares of capital stock of Acquiror, as applicable, issued and outstanding prior to the First Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, exchange or readjustment of shares, or other similar transaction (other than the Preferred Stock Conversion, the Domestication, the PIPE Investment and any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements), then any number or amount contained herein which is based upon the price of Acquiror Common Stock, or the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as the case may be, the Stock Consideration, the Cash Consideration, and any other similarly dependent items shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change; provided, however, that nothing in this (f) shall be deemed to permit or authorize any party hereto to effect any such change that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to undertake pursuant to this Agreement.

(xvi) Section 3.5 (Dissenting Shares) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Section 3.5 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the First Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the First Effective Time into the right to receive a portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1 without interest thereon, upon transfer of such shares. The Company shall provide Acquiror prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the First Effective Time that relates to such demand. Except with the prior written consent of Acquiror (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands.

-8-

(xvii) Section 7.2 (Trust Account Proceeds) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Section 7.2 Trust Account Proceeds. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX and provision of notice thereof to the Trustee (which notice Acquiror shall provide to the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement), (i) in accordance with and pursuant to the Trust Agreement, at the Closing, Acquiror (A) shall cause any documents, opinions and notices required to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to the Trust Agreement to be so delivered and (B) shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Trustee to, and the Trustee shall thereupon be obligated to (1) pay as and when due all amounts payable to Acquiror Shareholders pursuant to the Acquiror Share Redemptions, (2) pay all Company Transaction Expenses and Acquiror Transaction Expenses, and (3) all remaining amounts then available in the Trust Account to Acquiror for working capital and general corporate purposes, subject to this Agreement and the Trust Agreement and (ii) thereafter, the Trust Account shall terminate, except as otherwise provided therein.

(xviii) Section 7.10(b) (Subscription Agreements—Reasonable Best Efforts) of the Merger Agreement is hereby modified and amended by adding the following text as the final sentence thereof:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amounts due by SoftBank and Sponsor pursuant to the Subscription Agreements shall be reduced, on a pro rata, dollar-for-dollar basis by (A) such amount of the aggregate principal amount of the bridge notes issued pursuant to the Bridge Financing Agreement, and (B) such amount of cash received by the Acquiror at the Closing from the Trust Account pursuant to Section 7.2 and after the payments set forth in clauses (i)(A) and (i)(B) of such section; provided, that to the extent such cash from the Trust Account is attributable to investors in Sponsor or in funds affiliated with Sponsor, such dollar-for-dollar reductions shall only be with respect to the amounts due by Sponsor pursuant to the Subscription Agreements.

(xix) A new Section 7.12 (Additional Note Commitments) is added to Article VII of the Merger Agreement as follows:

Additional Note Commitments. In accordance with the terms set forth in the Subscription Agreements, Acquiror and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare, negotiate and execute definitive documentation in respect of the Convertible Notes, provided that such definitive documentation shall include the Company as a party and require the Company’s prior written approval and/or consent with respect to any amendments, modifications or other agreements with respect to any additional terms thereunder, and provided, further, that such definitive documentation shall provide that the Company is permitted to obtain other sources of funding, whether via public market

-9-

financing or otherwise (the “Additional Financing Arrangement”), and such Additional Financing Arrangement shall not under any circumstance reduce Softbank’s or Sponsor’s total commitment amount for the Convertible Notes, which commitment amount, unless otherwise agreed with the Company, shall remain available for the Company to draw upon throughout the funding term specified in the definitive documentation for the Convertible Notes. In addition, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent any such Additional Financing Arrangement is entered into prior to Closing, Section 6.1(d) of the Merger Agreement shall apply to the Company’s entry into such an alternative arrangement or agreement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence to the extent consent under Section 6.1(d) of the Merger Agreement would be required if such alternative arrangement or agreement were entered into prior to the date hereof.

(xx) Section 9.3(c) (Conditions to the Obligations of the Company—Minimum Available Cash Condition) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The Minimum Available Cash Condition shall have been satisfied.

(xxi) Section 10.1(e)(ii) (Termination—Agreement End Date) of the Merger Agreement is hereby modified and amended by deleting the text “February 12, 2022” and replacing it with the text “September 30, 2022”.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

4.    Conversion. Each Note will be convertible into Conversion Shares pursuant to, and only in the circumstances specifically provided for in, this Section 4 as follows. For the avoidance of doubt, each Note shall not be payable in cash, but rather shall convert into Conversion Shares in all cases pursuant to this Section 4.

4.1.    Mandatory Conversion.

(a)    Subject to, and conditioned upon the occurrence of, and effective as of immediately prior to, the Second Effective Time, SPAC will be deemed to automatically assume each Note and the outstanding principal amount under each Note will automatically be converted into a number of Conversion Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) based on the Conversion Rate.

(b)    Except as a result of the occurrence of an event under Section 4.1(c) below, if the Mergers have not been consummated by the Maturity Date, or in the event of a Corporate Transaction or Merger Withdrawal prior to the Maturity Date or prior to the time when a Note may be converted (as provided in Section 4.1(a) above or 4.1(c) below), all outstanding principal due on such Note shall, promptly on the Maturity Date or upon such Merger Withdrawal or immediately prior to the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, be converted into a number of Conversion Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) based on the Conversion Rate.

(c)    Prior to the Maturity Date or, if earlier, prior to the time when the Notes may be converted (as provided in Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b) above), in the event of (i) a termination of the Merger Agreement by the Company arising out of or resulting from the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the SPAC or the Sponsor, (ii) a termination of the Merger Agreement by the Company arising out of or resulting from the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement on the part of the SPAC or any Subscriber in connection with any Subscription Agreement or (iii) a termination of the Merger Agreement arising out of or resulting from a breach of any representation, covenant or other agreement on the part of any Purchaser or the SPAC in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including in each case, any termination of the Merger Agreement due to the occurrence of the Agreement End Date as a result of the facts set forth in clauses (i)-(iii) hereof, all outstanding principal due on the Notes shall, be converted into a number of Conversion Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole number) based on the Conversion Rate.

(d)    Upon the conversion of the principal amount under a Note as provided in preceding sentence, all outstanding amounts under such Note will automatically be deemed satisfied and discharged in full, and such Note will be no longer outstanding and will be cancelled, extinguished and retired and the holder thereof will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the express rights with respect to the Conversion Shares contemplated by this Agreement.

4.2.    Mechanics of Conversion. As promptly as practicable after the conversion of each Note and the issuance of the Conversion Shares in connection with, and for the avoidance of doubt subject to, the Second Effective Time or the occurrence of the events contemplated in Section 4.1(b) or 4.1(c) above, as applicable, SPAC or the Company, as applicable, will provide evidence of the issuance to each Purchaser of the Conversion Shares in book entry form in the name of such Purchaser on SPAC’s or the Company’s, as applicable, share register; provided, that, as a condition to receipt of such evidence of issuance and without affecting, modifying or otherwise limiting the cancellation, extinguishment and retirement of, or the satisfaction and discharge of all amounts outstanding under, a Note as provided in Section 4.1, each Purchaser shall surrender the Note held by such Purchaser to SPAC or the Company, as applicable (or provide an instrument of cancellation or affidavit of loss). Any Conversion Shares issued upon the conversion

-4-

of any applicable Note shall have associated with such Conversion Shares one or more legends restricting the transfer of such Conversion Shares consistent with applicable securities laws. Upon the conversion of a Note into Conversion Shares, in lieu of any fractional shares to which the holder of the Note would otherwise be entitled, the Company or SPAC, as applicable, shall pay the Note holder cash on account of any portion of the Note attributable to such fractional share.

For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of any of the events contemplated in Section 4.1(b) or 4.1(c), SPAC shall have no further obligations or liabilities under, or with respect to, this Agreement or any of the Notes.

4.3.    Stockholder Approvals by Company. Prior to the date hereof, the Company has obtained a written consent of its stockholders necessary to issue the Bridge Securities in exchange for the Consideration therefore, and to approve an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (a “COI Amendment”) that would be required to issue the Conversion Shares to the extent that such conversion is an obligation of the Company providing that they shall provide reasonable cooperation and support to vote for such COI Amendment. As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare the COI Amendment, promptly submit such proposed amendments to a vote of its stockholders and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite approvals to effectuate the COI Amendment (the “Company Stockholder Approval), and take all further actions as are reasonably necessary to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company further covenants and agrees to take any and all action necessary, or reasonably requested by the holders of the Notes, to enforce the rights of the Company under and pursuant to those certain Voting and Support Agreements, dated the date hereof, between the Company, SPAC and certain shareholders of the Company, in order to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval required to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.4.    Senior Lender Subordination. To the extent that the Company’s senior lender so requests, the Purchasers shall enter into a customary subordination agreement, in form and substance consistent with previous subordination agreements entered into by creditors of the Company with the senior lender, agreeing that all rights and obligations under the Notes shall be subordinated to the rights and obligations under the senior lender’s credit facilities.

5.    Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows as of the date hereof:

5.1.    The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), with corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.2.    Subject to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and filing of the COI Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the Conversion Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Purchasers against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and registered with the Company’s transfer agent, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or under the DGCL.

8.2.    In the case of the registration effected by the SPAC pursuant to this Agreement, the SPAC shall, upon reasonable request, inform Purchaser as to the status of such registration. At its expense, the SPAC shall:

(a)    except for such times as the SPAC is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the SPAC determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to Purchaser, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) Purchaser ceases to hold any Conversion Shares, (ii) the date all Conversion Shares held by Purchaser may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the SPAC to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) two years from the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement;

(b)    advise Purchaser within five (5) Business Days (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the SPAC of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Conversion Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iv) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the SPAC shall not, when so advising Purchaser of such events, provide Purchaser with any material, nonpublic information regarding the SPAC other than to the extent that providing notice to Purchaser of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (iv) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding the SPAC;

(c)    use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

-12-

(d)    upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 8.2(a)(iv), except for such times as the SPAC is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the SPAC shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Conversion Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and

(e)    use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Conversion Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Class A common stock of the SPAC is then listed.

8.3.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the SPAC shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Purchaser not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the SPAC or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the SPAC’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel (which may be in-house legal counsel), would require additional disclosure by the SPAC in the Registration Statement of material information that the SPAC has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the SPAC’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel (which may be in-house legal counsel), to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the SPAC may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than three occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve (12) month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the SPAC of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Purchaser agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Conversion Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Purchaser receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the SPAC agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the SPAC that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the SPAC unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the SPAC, Purchaser will deliver to the SPAC or, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares in Purchaser’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Purchaser is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. SPAC agrees that any time transfer is permitted pursuant to Rule 144 and Purchaser is unable to sell under the Registration Statement, SPAC will take commercially reasonable efforts to remove the restrictive legend from Purchaser’s Conversion Shares.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8 or otherwise in this Agreement, this Section 8, and all covenants, agreements, obligations and rights contained herein, shall only be effective following, and subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Second Effective Time.

-15-

performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement or for fraud and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Purchasers may have in the future against the Company or SPAC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Subscriber be obligated to purchase shares of common stock valued at the Per Share Price in excess of the Total Subscription Commitment.

(iii) The following text is hereby added as Section 1.4 of the Subscription Agreement:

1.4. Additional Note Commitment.

(a) In addition, Subscriber irrevocably agrees to purchase $750,000,000 (the “Total Note Commitment”) aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes of the Issuer, convertible into shares of Class A common stock on such terms as set forth on Exhibit A hereto and any other terms mutually agreed by the Issuer, the Company and Subscriber, all acting in good faith (“Convertible Notes”), minus (i) such amount of the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes, if any, acquired by Sponsor pursuant to the Sponsor Subscription Agreement (“Sponsor Note Purchase Amount”) and (ii) such amount of cash received by the Issuer at the Closing from its

-3-

Trust Account (as defined below) (other than amounts attributable to investments in the Issuer made by Subscriber, Sponsor or other parties as contemplated by the Subscription Agreement or the Sponsor Subscription Agreement) (the “Trust Cash Amount”) (the Total Note Commitment, less the Sponsor Note Purchase Amount and Trust Cash Amount, being the “Note Subscribed Amount”).

(b) The closing for the Convertible Notes shall occur on a date (the “Closing Date”) that is no later than forty-five (45) days following the date of the closing of the Transactions. The Company shall send the Subscriber and Sponsor a notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying the amount of funding the Company intends to draw down on the Closing Date and the corresponding amount of Convertible Notes to be issued on such Closing Date. Subject to certain limitations, the Company shall have the option in its sole discretion not to draw down the entire funding on the Closing Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstance shall the Company be obligated to draw down on the Total Note Commitment or the Total Sponsor Note Commitment (as such term is defined in the Sponsor Subscription Agreement).

(c) In clarification of the foregoing, in the event of any default in performance or failure by Sponsor to purchase on any agreed upon funding date any portion of the Sponsor Note Purchase Amount (the “Defaulted Note Commitment Amount”), Subscriber shall, in addition to the portion of the Note Subscribed Amount that may otherwise be subject to purchase on such funding date, purchase additional aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes equal to the Defaulted Note Commitment Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Subscriber be obligated to purchase an aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes in excess of the Total Note Commitment.

Exhibit 99.1

Digital Homeownership Platform Better Announces

up to $1.5 Billion in Bridge Financing and

Convertible Notes with Aurora Acquisition Corp.,

Novator Capital (Aurora Sponsor), and SoftBank;

Company to Accelerate Transformation of the

Homeownership Experience

Better has funded more than $45 billion in loan volume to date and has grown market share nearly 100% since 2020

New agreement amends previous transaction terms to consist of a $1.5 billion all-primary transaction, half of which is funded immediately

Better, Aurora, and SoftBank work together toward public listing as soon as SEC registration and regulatory approvals are complete

NEW YORK—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Better HoldCo, Inc. (“Better” or the “Company”), one of the fastest-growing digital homeownership platforms in the world, and Aurora Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: AURC) (“Aurora”), a special purpose acquisition company, who on May 11, 2021 announced a definitive merger agreement that would transform Better into a publicly-listed company, today announce an amended agreement that provides Better with immediate capital to fortify its balance sheet and accelerate the growth of its business. Aurora and SoftBank remain committed to their long-term partnership with Better and are working towards completion of the business combination in a timely manner. The amendments to the transaction do not change the implied equity value for Better of approximately $6.9 billion.

The details of the revised transaction are as follows:

“At Better, we put the customer at the absolute center of everything we do,” said Better CEO, Vishal Garg. “And that focus has enabled us to double our market share over the past 12 months while many in the industry have stayed in place, or, more recently, retrenched. The next two years are going to be a time of massive change in the US real estate market. The COVID bump that helped sustain legacy players in the industry over the past 18 months is fading and we expect a large number of our competitors to scale back their automation and vertical integration efforts. This is exactly the time for us to lean in and accelerate our customer-focused product innovation, and grow our B2B business, which we believe provides us with greater defensibility in a tougher mortgage market. The incremental $750 million of capital in the form of a commitment to fund a convertible note, on top of the $750 million of cash coming immediately to the balance sheet, will help us to do exactly that.”

Prabhu Narasimhan, Chief Investment Officer of Aurora, who will join the board of directors of Better Home & Finance Holding Company as a director following the closing of the business combination, said: “We are pleased to accelerate the capitalization of Better’s balance sheet so they can take immediate advantage of the opportunities ahead of them.”

Forwarding Looking Statements

This communication only speaks at the date hereof and contains, and related discussions may contain, “forward- looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. These statements include descriptions regarding the intent, belief, estimates, assumptions or current expectations of Aurora, Better or their respective officers with respect to the consolidated results of operations and financial condition, future events and plans of Aurora and Better. These forward-looking statements may be identified by a reference to a future period or by the use of forward-looking terminology. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “expect”, “believe”, “foresee”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “goal”, “strategy”, “plan”, “target” and “project” or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “could” or “would” or the negative of these terms, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based upon management’s current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections, and various assumptions, many of which are inherently uncertain and beyond Aurora’s and Better’s control. Such expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections are expressed in good faith, and management believes there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from what is expressed in or indicated by the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Better is experiencing significant changes within the mortgage lending and servicing ecosystem which have magnified such uncertainties.
