Finance of America (NYSE: FOA) overhauls charter, aligns Class B shares with LLC units
Finance of America Companies Inc. obtained written consent from stockholders holding approximately 53.9% of total voting power and 97.2% of Class B voting power as of June 26, 2026 to adopt a Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. No stockholder meeting or further vote is required, and the changes may take effect after a 20‑day mailing period once the charter is filed in Delaware.
The revised charter will reclassify Class B Common Stock so that each LLC Unit corresponds to one non‑economic Class B share with one vote per share, aligning the number of Class B shares with the 8,088,934 LLC Units outstanding and increasing authorized Class B shares to 50,000,000 while reducing authorized Class A shares to 5,951,000,000, leaving total authorized capital unchanged at 6,601,000,000. It also extends Delaware duty‑of‑care exculpation to specified officers and makes additional technical and conforming changes without altering existing stockholders’ aggregate voting power or economic rights.

Insights
Charter update aligns voting mechanics and adds officer protections.
Finance of America is harmonizing its “Up-C” structure so that each LLC Unit matches one Class B Common share with one vote, improving transparency around ownership and voting. The company keeps total authorized shares at 6,601,000,000, shifting authorization from Class A to Class B without economic dilution.
The charter also adopts Delaware’s newer officer exculpation framework, limiting certain monetary liability for duty-of-care claims in direct suits, while keeping liability for loyalty breaches and derivative claims. This is increasingly common in Delaware and may modestly reduce litigation and D&O insurance costs, but slightly strengthens officer protections, which governance-focused investors may scrutinize.

Beneficial ownership of LLC Units reflected in this table is not reflected as beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for which such LLC Units may be exchanged. |
(2) | Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the holders thereof at any time, subject to certain limitations, into shares of Class A Common Stock at a rate equal to (i) $1,000 divided by (ii) the conversion price, and a cash payment for accrued and unpaid dividends, cash in lieu of fractional shares and, in certain circumstances, dividend catch-up payments relating to dividends on other equity. As of June 26, 2026, the conversion price is $35.00 per share of Series A Preferred Stock. Beneficial ownership of Series A Preferred Stock reflected in this table is not reflected as beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock into which such Series A Preferred Stock may be converted. |
(3) | Represents the voting power of the applicable beneficial owner’s Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock as a percentage of the total voting power of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock voting together as a single class. The information presented in the “% of Total Voting Power” column is based on the actual number of shares and LLC Units outstanding as of June 26, 2026, without taking into consideration any shares or LLC Units that may be issued after June 26, 2026. As of June 26, 2026, there are 425,850 unvested shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, which are voted proportionately with all other shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (but not proportionately with the shares of Series A Preferred Stock). For purposes of calculating the values set forth in the “% of Total Voting Power” column, the voting power of such 425,850 unvested shares of Class A Common Stock is allocated proportionally to the shares of Common Stock that were vested as of June 26, 2026. Shares of Class B Common Stock have no economic rights but provide each holder of at least one such share (regardless of the number of shares so held) to a number of votes that is equal to the aggregate number of LLC Units held by such holder on all matters on which stockholders of the Company are entitled to vote generally. The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of shares of Common Stock as a single class, provided that such holders will not be entitled to voting power greater than 4.9% of the aggregate total voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. |
