On August 12, 2025, OneMain Finance Corporation (“OMFC”), a direct subsidiary of OneMain Holdings, Inc. (“OMH,” “we,” “us” or “our”) issued $750.0 million
aggregate principal amount of OMFC’s 6.125% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) under an Indenture, dated as of December 3, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), among OMFC, as issuer, OMH, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee
(the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by a Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 12, 2025 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among OMFC, OMH and the Trustee, pursuant to
which OMH provided a guarantee of the Notes. The Notes were offered and sold in an underwritten public offering made pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement, dated July 29, 2025, to the Prospectus, dated October 13, 2023, filed as part of OMFC’s and
OMH’s joint Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-274956) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by OMH.
The Notes will mature on May 15, 2030 and bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each
year, beginning on November 15, 2025. The Notes are OMFC’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of its other existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The Notes are guaranteed
by OMH and will not be guaranteed by any of OMFC’s subsidiaries, including OneMain Financial Holdings, LLC, or any other party. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all of OMFC’s secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets
securing such obligations, structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of our subsidiaries (other than OMFC), and rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of OMFC.
The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at OMFC’s option, at any time or from time to time (i) prior to November 15, 2029 (six months prior to the
maturity date of the Notes), at the applicable redemption price specified in the Indenture, and (ii) on and after November 15, 2029 (six months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of
the Notes to be redeemed, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit OMFC’s ability to create liens on assets and restrict OMFC’s ability to consolidate, merge
or sell its assets. The Indenture also provides for customary events of default (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), which include nonpayment, breach of covenants in the Indenture and certain events of bankruptcy and
insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. The Notes
will not have the benefit of any sinking fund.
The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the Base Indenture and Supplemental Indenture (and form of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2030 included therein as Exhibit A), copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by
reference. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, Jeffrey M. Gershon, Associate General Counsel of OMFC, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP provided OMFC with the legal opinions filed as Exhibits 5.1 and 5.2, respectively, to
this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES
Section 2.01. Designation and Principal Amount. There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated the “6.125% Senior Notes due 2030” initially offered in the aggregate principal amount of
$750,000,000, which amount shall be as set forth in a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be authenticated and delivered
under the Indenture is unlimited. Upon the execution of this Supplemental Indenture, or from time to time thereafter, Notes may be executed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for authentication, and the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate
and deliver Notes upon receipt of a Company Order, such order signed by an Officer of the Company, without any further action by the Company hereunder. The Trustee shall authenticate Additional Notes from time to time for original issue in
aggregate principal amounts specified by the Company upon delivery by the Company of such Additional Notes together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Additional Notes.
Section 2.02. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. With respect to the Notes, Section 3.03(a) of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety as follows: “The Securities shall be executed

deliver said Notes upon receipt of a Company Order, without any further action by the Company, except as otherwise required by the Indenture. The terms and provisions contained in the Notes shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a
part of the Indenture and the Company, OMH and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of the Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby. Each Holder of (and Holder of beneficial interests in) any Note,
by benefiting from such Note, agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Indenture. To the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be
controlling.
(b) The Company may, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Notes having identical terms and conditions as the Initial Notes, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and first
Interest Payment Date, in an unlimited aggregate principal amount (the “Additional Notes”). Any such Additional Notes will be part of the same series as the Initial Notes
and will be treated as one class with such Initial Notes, including, without limitation, for purposes of voting and redemptions; provided, that if any such Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, such Additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number.
Section 2.05. Interest. The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 6.125% per annum from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has
been paid, from the Issue Date until the principal thereof becomes due and payable, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment
Date”), commencing on November 15, 2025, to the Person in whose name such Note or any Predecessor Security is registered, at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest installment, which shall be the close of business on
the May 1 or November 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, and at the foregoing respective rates on overdue principal.
Section 2.06. Place of Payment. The Place of Payment where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange initially is the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
(a) The Notes and the Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication to be endorsed thereon are to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.
(b) The Notes shall be issued initially in the form of one or more permanent Global Notes in registered form, without coupons, substantially in the form herein below recited and attached as Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Global Note” and collectively, the “Global Notes”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly
executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as herein provided.
6
The aggregate principal amount of each Global Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee,
as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee, as provided in Section 3.03 of the Base Indenture.
(c) The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes shall be numbered, lettered, or otherwise distinguished in such manner
or in accordance with such plans as the officers of the Company executing the same may determine.
Section 2.08. Depositary. The Depository Trust Company shall be the initial Depositary, until a successor shall have been appointed and become such pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Supplemental
Indenture, and thereafter, “Depositary” shall mean or include such successor.
REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES
The Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company pursuant to Section 3.02 hereof. Other than as specifically provided in
this Article 3, any redemption pursuant to this Article 3 will be made pursuant to the provisions of Article IV of the Base Indenture.
Except as set forth in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Notes are not subject to redemption prior to the Stated
Maturity, and there is no sinking fund for the Notes.

COVENANTS
Section 4.01. Covenants. With respect to the Notes, Article VI of the Base Indenture shall be replaced in its entirety with the following:
ARTICLE VI
PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY
The Company hereby covenants and agrees as follows:
Section 6.01. Payments of Notes.
The Company shall promptly pay or cause to be paid the principal or the Redemption Price of, and interest, if any, on, the Notes on the dates, in the
amounts and in the manner provided in the Notes and in the Indenture. Principal or the Redemption Price and interest, if any, shall be considered paid on the date due if on such date the Trustee or the Paying Agent holds in accordance with the
Indenture no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, money sufficient to pay all principal or Redemption Price and interest, if any, then due.
8
Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the
Issue Date to but excluding the date of payment.
The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal or the Redemption Price
at the rate specified therefor in the Notes, and it shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.
Section 6.02. Paying Agent.
(a) The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for the Notes, if any, an office or agency where Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (the “Paying Agent”). The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints
the Trustee as Paying Agent to receive all presentations and surrenders.
(b) The Company may also from time to time designate different or additional offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes (in or outside of such Place of Payment), and may from time to time
rescind any such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligations described in the preceding paragraph. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such additional designation or rescission of designation and of any change in the location of any such different
or additional office or agency. The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Paying Agent not a party to the Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of the Indenture that relate to such agent. The
Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of each such agent. The Company or any Affiliate thereof may act as Paying Agent.
Section 6.03. To Hold Payment in Trust.
(a) If the Company or an Affiliate thereof shall at any time act as Paying Agent with respect to any Notes, then, on or before the date on which the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes by their terms or as a result of
the calling thereof for redemption shall become payable, the Company or such Affiliate will segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay such principal and premium, if any, or
interest which shall have so become payable until such sums shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act in that regard. Upon any proceeding under any
federal bankruptcy laws with respect to the Company or any Affiliate thereof, if the Company or such Affiliate is then acting as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the Company or such Affiliate as Paying Agent.
9
(b) If the Company shall appoint, and at the time have, a Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest any the Notes, then prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which the principal of and
premium, if any, or interest on the Notes shall become payable as aforesaid, whether by their terms or as a result of the calling thereof for redemption, the Company will deposit with such Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and
premium, if any, or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled to such principal, premium, if any, or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee), the Company or any other obligor
of the Notes will promptly notify the Trustee of such action or any failure to so act.
(c) If the Paying Agent shall be other than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this
Section 6.03, that such Paying Agent shall:
(i) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided;
(ii) give to the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes in the making of any payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;
(iii) at any time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent; and
(iv) acknowledge, accept and agree to comply in all aspects with the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties, rights and liabilities of such Paying Agent.
(d) Anything in this Section 6.03 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a release, satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by the Company or by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee as required by this Section 6.03, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying
Agent.
(e) Subject to applicable abandoned property law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on any Notes and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Order along with interest (if any) that has accumulated thereon as a result of such money being
invested at the direction of the Company, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust, and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment of such amounts
without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying
Agent before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The
City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to
the Company.
10
Section 6.04. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article VII, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence, rights (charter and statutory),
licenses and franchises of the Company; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to preserve any such existence, right, license or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.
Section 6.05. Compliance Certificate.
(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, a written statement, which need not comply with Section 18.01, signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial
officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture. For purposes of this Section 6.05, such compliance shall be determined without
regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under the Indenture.
(b) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within ten days after the occurrence thereof written notice of any event which would constitute a Default.
Section 6.06. SEC Reports.
(a) The Company, to the extent required pursuant to Section 314(a) of the TIA, shall file with the Trustee, within fifteen days after the Company is required to file the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information,
documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act, or, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such Sections, then to file with the Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time
to time by the SEC, such of the supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports which would be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange as
may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations.
(b) The Company, to the extent required pursuant to Section 314(a) of the TIA, shall file with the Trustee and the SEC, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC, such additional information,
documents and reports with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants provided for in the Indenture as may be required from time to time by such rules and regulations.
11
(c) The Company, to the extent required pursuant to Section 314(a) of the TIA, shall transmit to the Holders of the Notes within 30 days after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of
the TIA, such summaries of any information, documents and reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the two immediately preceding sentences as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the SEC.
(d) The Company shall notify the Trustee when and as the Notes become admitted to trading on any national securities exchange.
(e) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06 is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained
therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under the Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to receive and conclusively rely on Officers’ Certificates).
Section 6.07. Limitation on Liens.
(a) The Company shall not at any time, directly or indirectly, create or assume, and shall not cause or permit any Subsidiary to create or assume, any Mortgage of or upon any of its or their properties or assets, real or personal, whether
owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or of or upon any income or profit therefrom, without making effective provision, and the Company covenants that in any such case the Company will make or cause to be made effective provision,
whereby the Notes shall be secured by such Mortgage equally and ratably with or prior to any and all other obligations and indebtedness to be secured thereby, so long as any such other obligations and indebtedness shall be so secured.
(b) Nothing in this Section 6.07 shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from creating or assuming, and the Company or any Subsidiary is hereby expressly permitted to create or assume, without securing the Notes as
hereinabove provided, any Mortgage of the following character:
(1) any Mortgage on any properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary existing on the Issue Date;
(2) any Mortgage on any properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, in addition to those otherwise permitted by this subsection (b) of this Section 6.07, securing Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary and

exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets;
(3) any Mortgage on any property or assets of any Subsidiary to secure Indebtedness owing by it to the Company or to a Wholly-owned Subsidiary;
12
(4) any Mortgage on any property or assets of any Subsidiary to secure, in the ordinary course of business, its Indebtedness, if as a matter of practice, prior to the time it became a Subsidiary, it had borrowed on the basis
of secured loans or had customarily deposited collateral to secure any or all of its obligations;
(5) any purchase money Mortgage on property, real or personal, acquired or constructed by the Company or any Subsidiary after the Issue Date, to secure the purchase price of such property (or to secure Indebtedness incurred

prior to such acquisition or construction or to property thereafter acquired or constructed other than additions to such property;

value of said properties or materially impair their use in the operation of the business of the Company or of the Subsidiary owning the same;

that in the event of suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give notice by mail, then such notification as shall be given with the approval of the Company shall constitute sufficient
notice for every purpose hereunder; or
(b) if a series of Notes has been issued in global form through DTC as Depositary or through another Depositary, notice may be provided in all cases by delivery of such notice to DTC or such other Depositary, as applicable, pursuant to its
then Applicable Procedures or a successor system thereof.
Where this Supplemental Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken
in reliance on such waiver. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail; neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so given to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders, and any notice that is given in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given. In any case where notice to Holders is given by publication, any defect in any notice so published as to any
particular Holder shall not affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders, and any notice that is published in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.

condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof, and all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Supplemental Indenture contained shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their
successors and of the Holders of the Notes.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]
Indenture. This Note is one of
a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of December 3,
2014 (herein called the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, OneMain Holdings, Inc. (formerly Springleaf Holdings, Inc.), as a Guarantor (“OMH,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee to the Trustee under the Indenture), as amended and supplemented by the Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture, dated August 12, 2025 (together with the Base Indenture, as amended,
supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Company, OMH, as a Guarantor, and the Trustee, to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are,
and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of the series designated on the face hereof, initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $750,000,000. The Initial Notes and Additional Notes shall be treated as a single class
of securities for all purposes under the Indenture and will vote on all matters as a single class under the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such act for a statement of such terms. The Notes are general obligations of the Company. To the extent a provision of this
Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling.
Optional Redemption.
On and after November 15, 2029 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes), the Company may redeem, at its option, all or, from time to
time, part of the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Trustee), at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes,
if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
In addition, prior to November 15, 2029 (six months prior to the Stated Maturity of the Notes), the Company may redeem, at its option, all or, from
time to time, part of the Notes, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Trustee), at a Redemption Price equal to (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) the greater
of:
| (1) |
(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on November 15, 2029) on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and
|
| (2) |
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,
|
plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the
relevant Record Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
For purposes of determining the optional redemption price, the following definitions are applicable:
“Stated Maturity,” when used with respect to any Note or any installment of
principal thereof or any premium or interest thereon, means the fixed date on which the principal of such Note or such installment of principal or premium or interest is due and payable.
“Treasury Rate” means, as of any Redemption Date, the yield to maturity as of
such Redemption Date of United States Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) that has become publicly available at least two business days prior to
the Redemption Date (or, if such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to November 15, 2029; provided, however, that if the period
from the Redemption Date to November 15, 2029 of such Notes is less than one year, the weekly average yield on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year will be used.
Notice of any redemption will be given at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each registered Holder of the Notes to
be redeemed; provided that redemption notices may be given more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if such notice is given in connection with a Legal Defeasance or a Covenant
Defeasance or a satisfaction and discharge pursuant to Article XIII of the Base Indenture. Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of
the Notes called for redemption. If fewer than all of the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, the particular Notes or portions thereof for redemption from the
Outstanding Notes not previously called by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate (or in accordance with Applicable Procedures of the Depositary).
Except as set forth above, the Notes will not be redeemable by the Company prior to Maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking
fund.
Defaults and Remedies. If an
Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
Amendment, Supplement, Modification and Waiver. The Indenture and the Notes may be amended, supplemented or modified as provided in the Indenture.
Guarantees. The Notes shall be
guaranteed by OMH as provided in the Indenture.
Denominations, Transfer and Exchange. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the Registrar accompanied by a written request for transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Persons Deemed Owners. Prior
to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Miscellaneous. The Indenture
and this Note shall be deemed to be contracts made under the law of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of said State.
All terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

RE:
|
Issuance of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2030
|
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Associate General Counsel of OneMain Finance Corporation, an
Indiana corporation (“OMFC”), and I am delivering this opinion in connection with the public offering of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of OMFC’s 6.125% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) to be issued under the Indenture, dated as of
December 3, 2014 (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Twenty-Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 12, 2025 (together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among OMFC, OneMain Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, as guarantor (“OMH”), and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). OMFC and OMH entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the sale by
OMFC to the Underwriters of the Notes and the guarantee of the Notes provided by OMH (the “OMH Guarantee” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”).
This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
In rendering the opinions stated herein, we have examined and relied upon the following:
(a) the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274956) of OMH and OMFC relating to the Securities and other securities of OMH filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 13, 2023 under the Securities
Act allowing for delayed offerings pursuant to Rule 415 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act (the “Rules and Regulations”), including information deemed to be a part of the registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B of
the Rules and Regulations (the “Registration Statement”);
(b) an executed copy of the Indenture, including Article XVII of the Base Indenture containing the guaranty obligation of OMH;

(c) an executed copy of the Underwriting Agreement;
(d) executed copies of global certificates evidencing the Notes (the “Note Certificates”) delivered by OMFC to the Trustee for authentication and delivery;
(e) a copy of the Articles of Incorporation of OMFC, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Indiana;
(f) a copy of the Amended and Restated By-Laws of OMFC in effect as of the date hereof; and
(g) a copy of certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of OMFC, adopted on November 19, 2014, a copy of the unanimous written consent of the Board of Directors of OMFC, dated October 11, 2023 and a copy of the unanimous written consent of
the Board of Directors of OMFC, dated July 18, 2025.
I have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such records of OMFC and OMH
and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of OMFC, OMH and others, and such other documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions stated
below.
In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of
all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the
originals of such copies. As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that I did not independently establish or verify, I have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of OMFC, OMH and others and of
public officials.
I am a member of the Bar of the State of Indiana and the opinions expressed below are limited to the laws of the State of
Indiana. The Indenture provides that it is governed by the laws of the State of New York. To the extent that the opinions expressed herein relate to matters governed by the laws of the State of New York or the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware (the “DGCL”), I have relied, with their permission, as to all matters of New York law and the DGCL, on the opinion of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP dated the date hereof, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.2 to OMFC’s and
OMH’s Current Reports on Form 8‑K dated the date hereof, and my opinion is subject to the exceptions, qualifications and assumptions contained in such opinion.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions set forth herein, I am of
the opinion that:

1. The Note Certificates constitute the valid and binding obligation of OMFC enforceable against OMFC in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible
unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and will be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture.
2. The OMH Guarantee constitutes the valid and binding obligation of OMH, enforceable against OMH in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible
unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as Exhibit 5.1 to OMFC’s and OMH’s Current Reports on Form 8-K
dated the date hereof. I also hereby consent to the use of my name under the heading “Legal Matters” in the prospectus which forms a part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not thereby admit that I am within the category of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and I disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent
changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or of any subsequent changes in applicable law.

the Company in accordance with their terms under the laws of the State of New York.
2. The Guarantee has been duly authorized by
all requisite corporate action on the part of the Guarantor under the DGCL and, when the Note Certificates are issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the
Indenture, the Guarantee will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York.
