Rocket Companies Announces Early Tender Results of Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations for Any and All of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc.'s 6.500% Senior Notes Due 2029 and 7.125% Senior Notes Due 2032 and Receipt of Requisite Consents
DETROIT, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rocket Companies, Inc. (NYSE: RKT) (the "Company" or "Rocket Companies"), the Detroit-based fintech platform including mortgage, real estate, title and personal finance businesses, announced the early results as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 15, 2025 (the "Early Tender Date") of the previously announced offers to exchange and consent solicitations (collectively, the "Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations") for the $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes") and $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of outstanding 7.125% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes" and, together with the 2029 Notes, the "Existing Notes") of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. ("Nationstar"), a direct subsidiary of Mr. Cooper Group Inc. ("Mr. Cooper"), for up to $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of new senior notes issued by the Company (the "New Rocket Notes"). The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being conducted in connection with the Company's pending acquisition of Mr. Cooper (the "Mr. Cooper Acquisition"). The below table presents, according to information provided to the Company by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Depositary and Information Agent for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, the aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date (the "Early Tender Notes") and the percent of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding constituting Early Tender Notes. Title of Series of Existing Notes CUSIP Number Aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding AggregatePrincipal Amount of Early Tender Notes Percent of OutstandingPrincipal Amount Tendered Exchange Consideration of New Rocket Notes(Principal Amount)(1)(2) Consent Payment in Cash 6.500% Notes due 2029 144A CUSIP: 63861CAG4 Reg S CUSIP: U6377NAF5 $750,000,000 $738,342,000 98.45 % $1,000 $2.50 7.125% Notes due 2032 144A CUSIP: 63861CAF6 Reg S CUSIP: U6377NAE8 $1,000,000,000 $954,213,000 95.42 % $1,000 $2.50 ______________________________________ (1) For each $1,000 principal amount of Early Tender Notes accepted for exchange. (2) The New Rocket Notes (as defined herein) will accrue interest from (and including) the most recent date on which interest has been paid on the corresponding series of Existing Notes accepted in the Exchange Offers (as defined herein). Because the Majority Noteholder Consents (as defined herein) have been received as of the Early Tender Date, the Exchange Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of the Existing Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Expiration Date will equal $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of the New Rocket Notes. Because the Company received consents from eligible holders (each such holder, an "Eligible Holder" and collectively, the "Eligible Holders") of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of each series of outstanding Existing Notes (in each case, the "Majority Noteholder Consents"), Nationstar executed and delivered a supplemental indenture to each of the relevant Indentures (each, a "Supplemental Indenture"), (i) eliminating the requirement to make a "Change of Control" offer for the related Existing Notes following the consummation of the Mr. Cooper Acquisition and future transactions, (ii) eliminating substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the applicable Indenture and the Existing Notes, (iii) eliminating certain conditions to legal defeasance or covenant defeasance in the applicable Indenture and the Existing Notes and (iv) eliminating all events of default other than events of default relating to the failure to pay principal of and interest on the Existing Notes (collectively, the "Proposed Amendments"). Each Supplemental Indenture became effective upon execution, but provides that the applicable Proposed Amendments will not become operative until the Company accepts for exchange the Existing Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. Tenders of Existing Notes by such Eligible Holder may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date; however the related consent delivered by such Eligible Holder may no longer be withdrawn (including during any extension of the Expiration Date). The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 2, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company (the "Expiration Date"). The "Settlement Date" is expected to be on or before the second business day following the Expiration Date. The Company anticipates extending the Expiration Date until such time that the Mr. Cooper Acquisition may be consummated substantially concurrently with the Settlement Date. No tenders submitted after the Expiration Date will be valid. As the Majority Noteholder Consents were received as of the Early Tender Date, for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but prior to the Expiration Date, Eligible Holders will be eligible to receive $1,000 principal amount of New Rocket Notes (plus cash in respect of any fractional portion of New Rocket Notes) (the "Exchange Consideration"). To be eligible to receive the Exchange Consideration, Eligible Holders must (i) have validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) their Existing Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date and (ii) beneficially own such Existing Notes at the Expiration Date. An Eligible Holder that validly tendered Existing Notes and delivered (and did not validly revoke) a consent prior to the Early Tender Date, but withdraws such Existing Notes after the Early Tender Date but prior to the Expiration Date, will receive the consent payment of $2.50 in cash per $1,000 principal amount of such Existing Notes, even if such Eligible Holder is no longer the beneficial owner of such Existing Notes at the Expiration Date. The New Rocket Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by (a) Rocket Mortgage, LLC ("Rocket Mortgage"), (b) each of Rocket Mortgage's direct and indirect domestic, wholly owned subsidiaries that are issuers or guarantors under Rocket Mortgage's existing senior notes, (c) Redfin Corporation, (d) Mr. Cooper and (e) each of Mr. Cooper's direct and indirect domestic, wholly owned subsidiaries that are issuers or guarantors under the Existing Notes (such guarantors, collectively, the "Guarantors"). In addition, the New Rocket Notes issued in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations for validly tendered Existing Notes will have an interest rate and maturity date that is identical to that of the tendered Existing Notes, as well as identical interest payment dates and optional redemption prices. Each series of New Rocket Notes will accrue interest from (and including) the most recent date on which interest has been paid on the corresponding series of Existing Notes accepted in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. The terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are described in an Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated August 4, 2025 (the "Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement"). The consummation of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations for the Existing Notes of any series are subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, including, among other things, the substantially concurrent consummation of the Mr. Cooper Acquisition on terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 31, 2025 (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Maverick Merger Sub, Inc., Maverick Merger Sub 2, LLC, and Mr. Cooper. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security. No offer, solicitation, or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful. D.F. King & Co., Inc. has been retained to serve as both the depositary and the information agent (the "Depositary and Information Agent") for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. Requests for copies of the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement and other related materials should be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc. at RKT@ (email), (800) 549-6864 (U.S. Toll-Free) or (212) 390-0450 (Banks and Brokers). None of Rocket Companies, its board of directors, Mr. Cooper, Nationstar, the Guarantors, the Dealer Managers (as defined int the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement), the Depositary and Information Agent, the Trustee under the Indentures, or any of their affiliates, makes any recommendation as to whether holders of the Existing Notes should tender any Existing Notes in response to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are made only by the Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are not being made to holders of Existing Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are required to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations will be deemed to be made on behalf of the Company by the Dealer Managers or one or more registered brokers or dealers that are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.

Putin tries to woo Trump at Alaska meeting, claims he wouldn't have invaded Ukraine if Biden hadn't been president
Russian President Vladimir Putin — an ex-KGB agent and master manipulator — attempted to woo President Trump on stage, claiming he would not have invaded Ukraine if former President Biden hadn't been in office. 'I'd like to remind you that in 2022, during the last contact with the previous administration, I tried to convince my previous American colleague the situation should not be brought to the point of no return when it would come to hostilities,' Putin said following his meeting with Trump. 'And I said it quite directly back then. Trump and Putin shook hands as they met on the tarmac in Alaska. AFP via Getty Images 'That's is a big mistake today, when President Trump is saying that if he was the president back then, there will be no war — and I'm quite sure that it would indeed be, so I can confirm that.' Trained in strategic communications during his time as a KGB agent for the Soviet Union, Putin is known for attempting to manipulate world leaders with flattery. 'I think that, overall, me and President Trump have built a very good business-like [relationship],' he added. Trump has often said that he believed Putin would not have invaded if he were president in 2022, but he did not appear to take the dictator's bait Friday. AP While he called Putin's nine-minute pre-written speech 'profound,' Trump did not mention his longstanding talking point after the Russian leader's assertion. Instead, Trump subtly reminded Putin that he would not be making any business deals with Russia until the Kremlin ends its three-year war on Ukraine, pointing out the US' leverage. 'We … have some tremendous Russian business representatives here, and I think everybody wants to deal with us. We've become the hottest country anywhere in the world in a very short period of time,' he said. 'We look forward to dealing — we're going to try and get this over with. '… We'll have a good chance when this is over.'

5 Unstoppable "Ten Titans" Growth Stocks to Buy Now and Hold Through at Least 2030
Key Points The "Ten Titans" offer a more comprehensive list of top growth stocks than the "Magnificent Seven." Nvidia and Broadcom provide the building blocks of AI infrastructure. Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle are three exciting plays in cloud computing. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › The "Ten Titans" are the largest growth-focused U.S. companies by market cap -- consisting of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Apple, Amazon, Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), Meta Platforms, Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Tesla, Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), and Netflix. Combined, they make up over 37% of the S&P 500, showcasing the top-heavy nature of the index and how just a handful of companies can move the market. If I could only buy and hold half of the Ten Titans through 2030, I'd go with Nvidia, Broadcom, Microsoft, Oracle, and Alphabet. Here's what separates these growth stocks from the rest of the pack. The building blocks of AI Nvidia and Broadcom both play crucial roles in the buildout of artificial intelligence (AI). Nvidia's graphics processing units, CUDA software platform, and associated infrastructure provide a full-scale AI ecosystem for data centers. Orders continue to pour in for Nvidia's chips as big tech companies ramp up capital expenditures to support AI models. Broadcom makes application-specific integrated circuits, which are AI accelerators that can perform specific functions. The company's latest customer accelerator (XPU) is its 3.5D eXtreme Dimension System in Package, which drastically cuts down on power consumption and boosts efficiency between components -- all within a smaller package size. Broadcom offers compute, memory, network, and packaging capabilities, giving customers a vertically integrated solution for AI at scale. Broadcom has a highly differentiated networking and infrastructure software business. In addition to AI accelerators, its semiconductor segment also offers a variety of solutions for enterprise clients, like broadband, wireless, storage, and more. Three different ways to bet on cloud computing Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle offer three distinctly different ways to invest in cloud computing. Microsoft Azure is the No. 2 cloud player behind Amazon Web Services. Azure is Microsoft's fastest-growing segment -- capitalizing on AI demand through cloud offerings specifically geared toward handling AI workloads. But what separates Microsoft from other cloud plays is the strength of the rest of its business. Copilot for Azure, the Microsoft 365 software suite, and GitHub continue to grow their active user base. Microsoft's revenue growth has accelerated, and profit margins are at their highest level in over a decade -- driving Microsoft's surging stock price. Alphabet's Google Cloud doesn't have as much market share as Azure, but it is growing quickly and becoming more profitable. But unlike Microsoft, where cloud is the centerpiece of the investment thesis, Google Cloud doesn't contribute nearly as much to Alphabet's bottom line as other services -- namely Google Search and YouTube. Alphabet stock has roared higher in recent months, but it's still arguably the best value of the Ten Titans. While Google Search could see disruption from rival information resources like ChatGPT, it's worth noting that Google Gemini has gained significant traction in recent quarters -- showing Alphabet's ability to adapt. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is arguably the most exciting play in cloud computing right now. OCI is thriving due to its flexible structure, which leans on Oracle's established database ecosystem. It is best paired with Oracle databases and applications, with certain services not available on other clouds. Instead of going toe-to-toe with the "big three" cloud providers, Oracle partners with them by combining its database services with the AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud infrastructure. All told, Oracle is a top play in cloud computing because it offers its own vertically integrated suite of solutions, but also stands to benefit from the overall growth of the industry through its partnerships. These titans are worth their premium price tags Nvidia, Broadcom, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle have all been phenomenal stocks -- crushing the S&P 500 over the last five years. With the exception of Alphabet, outsized gains have made valuations expensive based on their trailing and forward earnings estimates, which may deter some investors from approaching these names. However, folks who are looking for top companies to buy and hold through at least 2030 will care more about where a company will be years from now than the next few quarters. The advantage of a longer investment time horizon is that you can give a company time to grow into its valuation. Nvidia, Broadcom, and Oracle are some of the most expensive of the Ten Titans, but they also have the most attractive runways for growth. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Alphabet have more reasonable valuations and multiple levers to pull for growing earnings for years to come. There are valid cases for buying all of the Ten Titans, but Nvidia, Broadcom, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Oracle truly stand out as the best of the best for long-term investors.
