Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Finance of America Companies Inc. obtained stockholder approval by written consent to adopt a Second Amended and Restated Charter that changes its capital and governance structure. Holders representing about 53.9% of total voting power and 97.2% of Class B voting power, as of June 26, 2026, approved the amendments.

The new charter will reclassify Class B Common Stock so each holder of LLC Units will own a matching number of Class B shares, and each Class B share will carry one vote on matters where Class B can vote. It also updates the charter for recent Delaware law changes, including allowing exculpation of executive officers, and makes technical updates tied to prior equity repurchases from Blackstone affiliates.

The company used written consent instead of a meeting to save costs and time. The charter will become effective when filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, no earlier than 20 days after mailing the definitive Schedule 14C information statement. Until filing, the board may choose which approved changes to include or abandon if it believes any amendment is no longer in the company’s best interests.

Insights

FOA simplifies Class B voting and adds officer protections via charter overhaul.

Finance of America secured written consent from holders of about 53.9% total voting power to adopt a Second Amended and Restated Charter. The key change is aligning Class B Common Stock so each share has one vote and matches the number of LLC Units held in the Up-C structure.

The amendments also incorporate recent Delaware law updates, including allowing exculpation of executive officers, which can reduce certain personal liability for monetary damages. Additional technical changes reflect prior repurchases of equity from Blackstone affiliates, mainly cleaning up legacy ownership references.

The board chose written consent over a meeting to lower solicitation costs and accelerate timing. Effectiveness will follow filing with Delaware, at least 20 days after mailing the definitive Schedule 14C. The board retains discretion to file one combined charter or abandon specific approved amendments if circumstances change, so the final form will be confirmed in the definitive materials and actual filing.

"approve the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ... the “Second Amended and Restated Charter”"
Class B Common Stock financial
"reclassify the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock such that each holder of outstanding LLC Units will hold"
A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.
Up-C structure financial
"Finance of America Equity Capital LLC, a company that the Company controls in an “Up-C” structure (the “LLC Units”)"
An up‑C structure is a two‑layer company setup often used in public listings where the operating business is owned by a partnership and public investors buy shares of a separate corporation that holds partnership interests. Think of it like buying stock in a holding company while the original owners keep a special stake in the business that preserves tax benefits. It matters because it can create tax advantages for sellers but adds tax complexity for investors, different cash‑flow claims and potential future dilution.
exculpation of the Company’s executive officers regulatory
"including the ability to provide for the exculpation of the Company’s executive officers"
Schedule 14C regulatory
"Information Statement on Schedule 14C to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission"
Schedule 14C is an SEC filing that companies use to send an official information statement to shareholders when they are not asking for proxy votes. It lays out key facts about corporate actions—such as reorganizations, related-party transactions, or changes in governance—so investors can understand what’s happening without being asked to vote, like receiving a detailed neighborhood notice about a rule change rather than a petition. Because it provides formal, regulated disclosure, Schedule 14C helps investors verify claims, weigh potential impacts on ownership or value, and hold management accountable.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

Upon the recommendation of the board of directors of Finance of America Companies Inc. (the “Company”), on June 26, 2026, certain stockholders of record as of such date (the “Record Date”), holding (i) a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, acting as a single class, and (ii) a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (“Class B Common Stock”), acting as a separate class, executed and delivered a written consent to approve the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Current Charter” and as amended and restated, the “Second Amended and Restated Charter”).

Under the Current Charter, on all matters on which the holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote, each holder of Class B Common Stock is entitled to cast a number of votes equal to the number of outstanding Class A Units of Finance of America Equity Capital LLC, a company that the Company controls in an “Up-C” structure (the “LLC Units”), held by such holder, regardless of the number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by such holder. The Second Amended and Restated Charter will, among other things, (i) reclassify the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock such that each holder of outstanding LLC Units will hold, following the reclassification, a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the number of LLC Units held by such holder, (ii) provide that each share of Class B Common Stock shall have one vote on matters on which the holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to vote, (iii) make changes to reflect recent amendments to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), including the ability to provide for the exculpation of the Company’s executive officers, and (iv) make other technical changes, including to reflect the repurchase of equity previously held by affiliates of Blackstone Inc.

In accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL, the Current Charter and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, the written consent, in lieu of a meeting, was approved by the consenting stockholders, who as of the Record Date collectively held 1,790,045 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (“Class A Common Stock”) and 7,864,920 LLC Units, representing approximately 53.9% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock (Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (on an as converted basis, subject to a 4.9% voting cap)) as of the Record Date and approximately 97.2% of the voting power of the outstanding Class B Common Stock as of the Record Date. The Company elected to seek written consent in lieu of holding a meeting of stockholders to significantly reduce the costs and management time involved in soliciting and obtaining proxies to approve the Second Amended and Restated Charter, and in order to effectuate the related updates in a timely manner.

Additional details about the Second Amended and Restated Charter and associated matters will be included in the Company’s definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”); the Company filed a preliminary Information Statement with the SEC on June 30, 2026. The summary of the Second Amended and Restated Charter set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Second Amended and Restated Charter, which will be filed as an annex to the definitive Information Statement. The Second Amended and Restated Charter will become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which may be as early as the 20th day after the definitive Information Statement is mailed to the Company’s stockholders who did not execute the written consent approving the Second Amended and Restated Charter. Until the Second Amended and Restated Charter is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the board of directors of the Company retains discretion (i) as to whether to file one form of Second Amended and Restated Charter containing all approved changes to the Current Charter and (ii) to elect to abandon any of the approved amendments prior to filing the Second Amended and Restated Charter if it determines, in its sole discretion, that any such amendment is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
