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 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 it; 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 it 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 Aurora, Better
or their respective officers or that Aurora, Better or their
respective officers 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 Aurora, Better or their respective officers
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.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication shall not constitute a solicitation of a
proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or
in respect of the Business Combination. This communication shall
also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of
securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or
qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a
prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities
Act of 1933.
