Two Harbors was free to receive proposals superior to UWM&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>In connection with the proposed acquisition, UWM entered into significant hedging transactions against Two Harbors&#8217; MSR portfolio whose value typically and rapidly changes based on interest rates and homeowner refinancing speeds.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint <span>alleges<\/span> that UWM did not disclose that it over-hedged in connection with its attempt to take over Two Harbors. The danger to this is that if an acquisition falls through the massive hedge left behind can turn into a speculative <span>gamble<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Over four months ago, on March 27, 2026, Two Harbors announced that it entered a definitive merger agreement with CrossCountry Mortgage in a cash transaction and that it terminated its previous deal with UWM and would pay UWM the termination fee.<\/p>\n<p>Although UWM had disclosed certain information about having hedged the transaction before March 27, investors did not learn the truth of the company&#8217;s exposure until August 6, 2026. That day UWM reported three important things.<\/p>\n<p>First, the company reported a massive $451 million net loss and roughly a $603 million hedging loss. Management revealed, apparently for the first time, that &#8220;we were over-hedged&#8221; and &#8220;obviously, the Two Harbors transaction went away.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Second, UWM disclosed that its total equity sequentially plunged by about $615 million, or a whopping 38%.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that and third, UWM told shareholders in essence that, as a result of the foregoing, it entered into a massively dilutive recapitalization plan.<\/p>\n<p>The market swiftly reacted, sending the price of UWM shares sharply lower that day. Between December 17, 2025, the day of the Two Harbors acquisition announcement, and August 6, 2026, the price Of UWM shares has declined by about $3.65 or 75%.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Hagens Berman&#8217;s Investigation<\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re focused on UWM&#8217;s explanations for why it refrained from unwinding its hedges months ago and why management seemingly went virtually silent on the naked hedging risks until recently,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4754412-1&amp;h=2112862728&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hbsslaw.com%2Fattorneys%2Freed-kathrein&amp;a=Reed+Kathrein\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><b>Reed Kathrein<\/b><\/a>, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm&#8217;s investigation.<\/p>\n<p>If you invested in UWM and have substantial losses, or have knowledge that will assist the firm&#8217;s investigation, <a href=\"https:\/\/edge.prnewswire.com\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4754412-1&amp;h=2649172073&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hbsslaw.com%2Fcases%2Fuwm-holdings-corporation-uwmc-securities-class-action&amp;a=submit+your+losses+now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">submit your losses now<\/a>\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Whistleblowers: <\/b>Persons with non-public information regarding UWM should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program.
