    On October 1, 2025, Rocket Companies, Inc. (“Rocket” or the “Company”) completed the previously announced acquisition of Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (“Mr. Cooper”), a Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 31, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Mr. Cooper, Maverick Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Maverick Merger Sub”), and Maverick Merger Sub 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Forward Merger Sub”), Maverick Merger Sub merged with and into Mr. Cooper (the “Maverick Merger”), with Mr. Cooper surviving the Maverick Merger and continuing as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and immediately following such Maverick Merger, Mr. Cooper merged with and into Forward Merger Sub, with Forward Merger Sub surviving such forward merger and continuing as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Forward Merger” and together with the Maverick Merger, the “Mergers”).

    Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

    Indenture

    On October 1, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced exchange offers and consent solicitations (collectively, the “Exchange Offers”) for the (i) $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Existing 2029 Notes”) and (ii) $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of outstanding 7.125% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Existing 2032 Notes”, together with the Existing 2029 Notes, the “Exchange Offer Notes”) of Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (“Nationstar”). In the Exchange Offers, $738,075,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Existing 2029 Notes, equal to 98.41% of the outstanding amount of such notes, and $955,326,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Existing 2032 Notes, equal to 95.53% of the outstanding amount of such notes, were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn). As a result, on October 1, 2025, the Company issued $738,075,000 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $955,326,000 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.125% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “New Rocket Notes”). The New Rocket Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2025 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

    The New Rocket Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by (i) Rocket Mortgage, LLC (“Rocket Mortgage”), (ii) each of Rocket Mortgage’s domestic subsidiaries that are issuers or guarantors under Rocket Mortgage’s existing senior notes, (iii) Redfin Corporation, (iv) Forward Merger Sub and certain subsidiaries of Nationstar (collectively, the Mr. Cooper Guarantors”). In the future, any subsidiary of the Company that guarantees or issues any Additional Capital Markets Debt (as defined in the Indenture) will guarantee the New Rocket Notes.

    Neither the Company, Nationstar or Mr. Cooper received any cash proceeds from the Exchange Offer Notes. The Exchange Offer Notes received in the Exchange Offers were cancelled and will not be reissued.

    The 2029 Notes mature on August 1, 2029 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. No sinking fund is provided for the 2029 Notes. Cash interest on the 2029 Notes will accrue from August 1, 2025 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2026, at a rate of 6.500% per year.

    The 2032 Notes mature on February 1, 2032 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. No sinking fund is provided for the 2032 Notes. Cash interest on the 2032 Notes will accrue from August 1, 2025 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2026, at a rate of 7.125% per year.

On or after August 1, 2026, the Company may redeem the 2029 Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.

    The Company may also redeem the 2029 Notes prior to August 1, 2026, at any time or from time to time, in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds received by the Company or any parent thereof from any equity offering at a redemption price equal to 106.500% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date, in an aggregate principal amount for all such redemptions not to exceed 40% of the of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes that are 2029 Notes), provided that the redemption takes place not later than 180 days after the closing of the related equity offering; and not less than 50% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes remains outstanding immediately thereafter.

    Prior to February 1, 2027, the Company may redeem the 2032 Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Rocket Notes redeemed, plus a “make- whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. On or after February 1, 2027, the Company may redeem the 2032 Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.

    The Company may also redeem the 2032 Notes prior to February 1, 2027, at any time or from time to time, in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds received by the Company or any parent thereof from any equity offering at a redemption price equal to 107.125% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date, in an aggregate principal amount for all such redemptions not to exceed 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes that are 2032 Notes), provided that the redemption takes place not later than 180 days after the closing of the related equity offering; and not less than 50% of the principal amount of the 2032 Notes remains outstanding immediately thereafter.

    The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things: (i) create liens on assets and (ii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control triggering events, the Company shall offer to repurchase the New Rocket Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date.

    The Indenture sets forth certain events of default after which the New Rocket Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company, or any of their significant subsidiaries, after which the New Rocket Notes become automatically due and payable.

    The New Rocket Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to non-U.S. investors in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

    The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

    Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

    On September 29, 2025, Jennifer Gilbert, a Class I director, provided notice of her resignation from the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) effective September 30, 2025. Ms. Gilbert’s decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement with the Company.

    On September 30, 2025, the Board appointed Varun Krishna to succeed Bill Emerson as President of Rocket, effective upon Mr. Emerson’s retirement on December 31, 2025. Mr. Krishna’s compensation arrangements will not change as a result of his appointment.

    On October 1, 2025, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, voted to increase the size of the Board to nine directors, and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, to fill the two vacancies on the Board by appointing Mr. Jay Bray to serve as a Class II director and Mr. Tagar Olson to serve as a Class I director, in each case effective as of the Maverick Effective Time, and in each case to serve until his respective successor has been elected and qualified, subject to his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. In addition, the Board appointed Mr. Bray as an executive officer of the Company in his role as President and Chief Executive Officer of Rocket Mortgage.

    Mr. Bray, age 58, has more than 30 years of experience in the mortgage servicing and originations industry. From 2018 to 2025, Mr. Bray served as the chief executive officer of Mr. Cooper, where he had previously also served as the President from 2018 to 2021. Mr. Bray also served as the chief executive officer of Nationstar, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mr. Cooper, from 2012 until 2025. Mr. Bray has served as the chair of the board of directors of Mr. Cooper since 2018.

    Mr. Olson, 48, has extensive experience in corporate financings, mergers, acquisitions, investments and strategic transactions. Since 2021, he has served as the founder of Integrum Holdings LP, an investment firm focused on partnering with technology-enabled services companies. From 2002 to 2019, Mr. Olson was a partner at KKR. He has served as a director of Mr. Cooper since 2015.

     4 

     

     

    The Board determined that Mr. Olson meets all of the applicable standards of independence for members of the Board established by (i) the laws, rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Board determined that Mr. Olson is independent and free of any material relationship with the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries, other than through his service as a director of the Company.

    Mr. Bray and Mr. Olson each entered into an indemnification agreement with the Company in substantially the same form that the Company has entered into with its other directors.

    Mr. Bray’s offer letter with the Company with respect to his compensation following the Maverick Effective Time and his appointment to the Board was previously described in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on April 29, 2025, as amended on July 3, 2025 and July 25, 2025.

    Mr. Olson will be eligible for compensation consistent with the compensation provided to other non-employee directors of the Company from time to time, including an initial grant of RSUs with a grant date value equal to $215,000, vesting after one year.

    There are no other arrangements or understandings between Mr. Bray or Mr. Olson and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Bray and Mr. Olson were selected as directors.

    Neither Mr. Krishna, Mr. Bray nor Mr. Olson has any family relationship with the Company’s directors or executive officers or any persons nominated or chosen by the Company to be a director or executive officer.

    None of Mr. Krishna, Mr. Bray nor Mr. Olson nor any of their immediate family members has had (or proposes to have) a direct or indirect interest in a transaction in which the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries was (or is to be) a participant, that would be required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of SEC Regulation S-K.

    Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure.

    On October 1, 2025, the Company and Mr. Cooper issued a joint press release announcing the completion of the Mergers. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
