On March 16, 2026, UWM Holdings Corporation (“UWMC”) announced it has engaged Okapi Partners LLC (“Okapi”) to provide strategic advice to UWMC and to assist in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the special meeting of Two Harbors Investment Corp. (“Two Harbors”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 17, 2025, by and among Two Harbors, UWM Acquisitions 1, LLC and UWMC (the “TWO Acquisition”). As previously announced, Two Harbors today adjourned its Special Meeting of Stockholders until March 24, 2026 at 11:00 am in order to provide additional time for stockholders to vote and to solicit additional proxies to vote in favor of the TWO Acquisition. The TWO Acquisition requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes outstanding, and a significant number of stockholders have not yet voted nor submitted proxies. Stockholders who have not yet voted or submitted proxies are encouraged to do so during the additional period now made available to them until the meeting is reconvened.
UWMC will pay Okapi $25,000, plus additional fees and costs upon consummation of the transaction. UWMC has agreed to indemnify Okapi against any loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arising out of such services.
