, /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 today that it has extended the expiration date for its 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 expiration date for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations has been extended from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 2, 2025 to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30, 2025 (such date and time, as may be further extended or earlier terminated by the Company, the "Expiration Date"). 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 "Settlement Date" for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations is expected to be on or before the second business day following the Expiration Date. The Company anticipates further extending the Expiration Date until such time that the Mr. Cooper Acquisition may be consummated substantially concurrently with the Settlement Date. Tenders of Existing Notes by such Eligible Holder may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date; however the related consent delivered by such Eligible Holder may no longer be withdrawn (including during any extension of the Expiration Date). No tenders submitted after the Expiration Date will be valid. On the Early Tender Date of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 15, 2025 (the "Early Tender Date"), the Company received consents sufficient to amend the applicable Indentures governing the Existing Notes to, (i) eliminate the requirement to make a "Change of Control" offer for the related Notes following the consummation of the Mr. Cooper Acquisition and future transactions, (ii) eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the applicable Indenture and the Notes, (iii) eliminate certain conditions to legal defeasance or covenant defeasance in the applicable Indenture and the Notes and (iv) eliminate all events of default other than events of default relating to the failure to pay principal of and interest on the Notes (collectively, the "Proposed Amendments"). On the Early Tender Date, Nationstar and the trustee of each series of Notes entered into a supplemental indenture to each Indenture (each, a "Supplemental Indenture") to effect the Proposed Amendments, which 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. 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, as of September 2, 2025, Existing Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn with respect to (i) $738,059,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes, representing approximately 98.41% of the outstanding 2029 Notes, and (ii) $955,238,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Notes, representing approximately 95.52% of the outstanding 2032 Notes.
