Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to Schedule 13D relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of Better Home & Finance Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on September 1, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on April 15, 2024 (“Amendment No. 1”) and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on June 4, 2024 (“Amendment No. 2”, and as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 3 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.  This Amendment No. 3 is being filed to update the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Person to reflect recent transactions.

Effective August 19, 2024, the Issuer effected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), and Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. All references to share number in this Amendment No. 3 reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock Split.

Items 5(a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) The number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, including the number of shares over which the Reporting Person has sole or shared dispositive or voting power, is set forth on the cover page of this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.

As of August 30, 2024, Mr. Valani is deemed to beneficially own 437,651 shares of Class A Common Stock consisting of: (i) 237,438 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly by 1/0 Mortgage Investment, LLC, (ii) 17,595 shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by the Green Trust, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, and (iii) 182,618 shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by a member of Mr. Valani’s immediate family, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.  Mr. Valani (x) is the manager of 1/0 Services LLC, which in turn is the manager of 1/0 Mortgage Investment, LLC, and (y) may be deemed to have investment and voting power over the Issuer securities directly held by the Green Trust and a member of Mr. Valani’s immediate family as described herein.  Therefore, Mr. Valani may be deemed to beneficially own the securities described in (i) through (iii) above, representing approximately 5.0% of the shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.

The beneficial ownership percentages of the Class A Common Stock reported herein were based on 8,497,010 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of August 19, 2024, based on information disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on August 19, 2024, and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

(c) Except as set forth herein or on Schedule A attached hereto, the Reporting Person did not effect any transactions in Class A Common Stock during the 60-day period ended August 30, 2024.
