Cautions Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.  Such forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “anticipate,” “approximate,” “believe,” “commit,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “hope,” “intend,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “project,” “potential,” “should,” “would,” “will” and other similar words or expressions.  Risks that may cause these forward-looking statements to be inaccurate include, without limitation: the possibility that regulatory and other approvals and conditions to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “proposed transactions”) are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the possibility that the Company may not fully realize the projected benefits of the proposed transactions; the possibility that the Company and Home Point will not be integrated successfully; changes in the anticipated timing for closing the proposed transactions; business disruption during the pendency of or following the proposed transactions; diversion of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transactions; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed transactions could have adverse effects on the market price of the Company’s common stock; the risk that the proposed transactions and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, employees, stockholders and other business relationships and on its operating results and business generally; the risk of any unexpected costs or expenses resulting from the proposed transactions; and the risk of litigation and/or regulatory actions related to the proposed transactions.  In addition, actual results are subject to other risks and uncertainties that relate more broadly to the Company’s overall business, including those more fully described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.  The forward-looking statements in this document speak only as of this date.  The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement, except as required by law.
