Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 overview: Chief Growth Officer Christian J. Taubman reported the disposition of all Redfin Corporation (RDFN) equity on 1 July 2025 in connection with the closing of the previously announced merger between Redfin and Rocket Companies, Inc. ("Parent").

Key details

  • Merger completed: Neptune Merger Sub, a wholly-owned Rocket subsidiary, merged into Redfin, making Redfin a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rocket.
  • Share conversion ratio: Each Redfin common share was converted into 0.7926 Rocket Class A common shares plus cash for fractional shares.
  • Common stock: Taubman’s Redfin shares were reported as disposed (code D) pursuant to the merger; 92,696 shares are shown as beneficially owned after the transaction but now represent Rocket entitlement through the exchange ratio.
  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs): Five blocks totaling 559,092 RSUs were converted into Rocket RSUs using the same 0.7926 exchange ratio. All vesting schedules and other terms remain unchanged.
  • Ownership form: All holdings are reported as direct.

Investor takeaway: The filing is largely administrative, documenting equity conversion rather than an open-market sale. It confirms merger consummation, preserves management incentive alignment via assumed RSUs, and eliminates standalone Redfin equity going forward.

Positive

  • Merger consummation confirmed, providing definitive transaction closure and clarity on consideration for Redfin shareholders.
  • Executive RSUs carried over to Rocket on identical vesting terms, helping maintain management alignment post-acquisition.

Negative

  • None.

Insights

TL;DR Redfin-Rocket merger closed; insider’s equity converted, no cash sale, confirms deal completion and new ownership structure.

Pursuant to the March 9 2025 Merger Agreement, all Redfin securities converted into Rocket equity at a fixed 0.7926 ratio. Taubman’s Form 4 simply records that mechanical exchange: 92,696 common shares and 559,092 RSUs translated into equivalent Rocket instruments. No price information or incremental compensation is disclosed, so market impact hinges on how investors value the exchange ratio versus pre-deal prices. For legacy RDFN holders, the filing confirms final consideration and extinguishes independent Redfin float. Because the RSUs were assumed on identical terms, executive retention incentives remain intact, reducing integration risk. Overall, the disclosure is procedural yet materially confirms that deal closing conditions were met.

Explanation of Responses:
1. The shares were disposed of pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 9, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Redfin Corporation (the "Company"), Rocket Companies, Inc. ("Parent"), and Neptune Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on July 1, 2025, Merger Sub merged with and into Company (the "Merger"), with Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each issued and outstanding share of Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Company Common Stock") was converted into the right to receive 0.7926 shares of Class A Common Stock of Parent (the "Parent Common Stock" and such ratio, the "Exchange Ratio") and cash payable in lieu of fractional shares, as described in the Merger Agreement.
2. Restricted stock units to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each a "Company RSU") convert into Company Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon settlement.
3. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each Company RSU that was unexpired, unsettled and outstanding as of the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) was assumed by Parent and converted into a restricted stock unit to receive that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an "Assumed RSU"). Each such Assumed RSU is otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions as applied to the corresponding Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time, including vesting terms.
4. Company RSUs do not expire; they either vest or are canceled prior to the vesting date.
