Each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock in connection with: (i) any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain permitted transfers described in the Issuer's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, (ii) such time as the aggregate number of shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding ceases to represent 5% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, (iii) the vote of 85% of the holders of Class B Common Stock outstanding; and (iv) following the date of the death or permanent disability of Better HoldCo, Inc.'s founder.

The restricted stock units were granted on March 1, 2022, and will vest subject to both time- and liquidity-based criteria. Under the time-based criteria, 14/48ths of the restricted stock units became vested on the grant date and the remaining restricted stock units will vest in equal 1/16ths of the restricted stock units on the first business day of each calendar quarter such that the restricted stock units will be fully vested as of March 1, 2026. The liquidity-based criteria was satisfied on August 22, 2023, upon the consummation of the business combination between the Issuer (f/k/a Aurora Acquisition Corp), Aurora Merger Sub I, Inc. and Better HoldCo, Inc.
