Transactions Strengthen Balance Sheet, Reduce Costs, and Position Finance of America for Next Phase of Growth

New Convertible Debt Enhances Financial Position and Supports Strategic Expansion

Finance of America Companies Inc. (“Finance of America” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FOA), a leading provider of home equity-based financing solutions for a modern retirement, today announced that it has fully paid off its outstanding working capital facility and entered into a definitive agreement to repurchase the entirety of Blackstone’s equity stake in the Company.

These transactions mark a pivotal milestone in Finance of America’s strategic evolution and underscore the strength of its financial position and long-term growth outlook. By strengthening the balance sheet while reducing interest expense and related costs, the Company is enhancing its financial flexibility and independence.

“This is a moment of strategic significance,” said Graham Fleming, Chief Executive Officer of Finance of America. “The fundamentals of our business enable us to take this step to simplify our capital structure and reduce our debt to more freely pursue the opportunities ahead of us. With the further support of long-time investors and bond holders through a new convertible debt facility, we are well-positioned to aggressively pursue our next chapter of growth.”

Finance of America’s agreement to repurchase Blackstone’s equity stake reflects the Company’s commitment to long-term value creation. The transaction is expected to be materially accretive to shareholders and underscores the Company’s confidence in its strategic direction.

“We appreciate the strong partnership with Finance of America and their management team, which has spanned over ten years,” said Christopher James, Global Head of Blackstone’s Tactical Opportunities group. “With this transaction, we will conclude our ownership role, but we look forward to continuing to work together in new and impactful ways in the future.”

The closing of the repurchase transaction is subject to customary conditions, including the receipt of a customary opinion and is anticipated to be consummated in the fourth quarter of 2025. More information about the definitive agreements between Finance of America and Blackstone, and the new convertible debt facility, will be available in a Form 8-K to be filed by the Company.
