**Item 8.01 – Other Events.**

As previously disclosed, on March 31, 2025, Mr. Cooper Group Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Mr. Cooper" or the "Company") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, Rocket Companies, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Rocket"), Maverick Merger Sub, Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Rocket ("Maverick Merger Sub"), Maverick Merger Sub 2, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Rocket ("Forward Merger Sub"), and Mr. Cooper. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), Maverick Merger Sub will merge with and into Mr. Cooper (the "Maverick Merger"), with Mr. Cooper surviving the Maverick Merger and continuing as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Rocket and immediately following such Maverick Merger, in accordance with the DGCL and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, Mr. Cooper will merge with and into Forward Merger Sub, with Forward Merger Sub surviving the forward merger (the "Forward Merger" and together with the Maverick Merger, the "Mergers").

The waiting period with respect to the Mergers under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the "HSR Act"), expired at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 4, 2025. The expiration of the HSR Act waiting period satisfies certain conditions to the closing of the Mergers. The Mergers remain subject to other closing conditions, including receipt of other required regulatory clearances and approval by Mr. Cooper's stockholders. Assuming the satisfaction of necessary closing conditions, the Mergers are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
