Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Reporting Person into one share of Class A Common Stock and has no expiration date. Each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock in connection with: (i) any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain permitted transfers described in the Issuer's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, (ii) such time as the aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding ceases to represent 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, (iii) the vote of 85% of the holders of Class B Common Stock outstanding; and (iv) following the date of the death or permanent disability of Better HoldCo, Inc.'s founder.
Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock.

Calamari Family Trust, of which the Reporting Person's spouse serves as the trustee for the benefit of the Reporting Person and their children. Therefore, the Reporting Person may be deemed to have voting power and dispositive power over the shares held by the Nicholas J. Calamari Family Trust. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
