EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) is being filed by Finance of America Companies Inc. (the “Registrant”) for the purpose of registering additional shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) reserved for issuance under the Finance of America Companies Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“the Plan”). These shares of Class A Common Stock are additional securities of the same class as other securities for which an original registration statement (File No. 333-261461) on Form S-8 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 17, 2021 (the “Original Registration Statement”), which registered 21,250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the Plan.

The shares of Class A Common Stock registered by this Registration Statement consist of: (i) 4,736,223 shares of Class A Common Stock that have become reserved for issuance as a result of the operation of the “evergreen” provision of the Plan, which provides that the total number of shares subject to the Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year pursuant to a specified formula; and (ii) 16,370,363 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable under the Plan, which amount is equal to the number of “Substitute Awards” previously issued under the Plan and registered by the Original Registration Statement that did not count against the Absolute Share Limit (as defined in the Plan). Other than the 4,736,223 shares that have become available for issuance pursuant to the “evergreen” provision of the Plan, the shares registered by this Registration Statement do not represent an increase in the number of shares previously reserved for issuance under the Plan.

Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of such earlier registration statements are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except that the provisions contained in Part II of such earlier registration statements are modified as set forth in this Registration Statement.
