Chronology of Material Events

December 2025: UWM and Two Harbors Investment Corp. sign an all-stock merger agreement valued at $1.3 billion to expand UWM's mortgage servicing rights portfolio. March 2026: Two Harbors terminates the agreement after a competing cash bid emerges. The lawsuit chronicles what allegedly happened next inside the Company while public messaging stayed confident.

March 9, 2026 — The Forecast That Opened the Class Period

UWM issued a press release ahead of the Two Harbors stockholder meeting stating that "[e]ven without the Two Harbors transaction," total revenue for fiscal year 2026 was expected to be between $3.5 billion and $4.5 billion. The complaint recounts that management did not disclose that the Company had already departed from its longstanding practice of not hedging mortgage servicing rights, allegedly taking on an outsized derivative position tied to the deal.

Timeline of Alleged Disclosure Failures

• March 9, 2026: Fiscal 2026 revenue outlook of $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion issued; the alleged hedge position goes unmentioned.
• May 6, 2026: First quarter results described as "an exceptional quarter" and the Company's second-best first quarter ever.
• May 11, 2026: The 1Q26 Form 10-Q describes the origination business as a "natural hedge to servicing" and frames other interest rate derivatives as periodic risk mitigation.
• June 2026: A mandated negotiation waiver period tied to Two Harbors expires without a new agreement.
• August 5, 2026: After market close, UWM reports a $603.2 million interest rate derivatives loss, a $451.9 million net loss, and a 43.6% year-over-year decline in total equity.
• August 6, 2026: On the earnings call, management describes the position as "over-hedged" protecting against the Two Harbors transaction; shares close down 34.78%.

"Timely disclosure of material developments is fundamental to fair and efficient markets. The complaint contends that the sequence here left shareholders evaluating a revenue forecast without knowing the scale of the hedging exposure allegedly behind it." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
