Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 6, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 5830 Granite Parkway, Suite 400, Plano, Texas 75024. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 6 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), dated as of December 6, 2022 (attached as Exhibit 99.J to Amendment No. 4), by and among the Issuer and Libman Family Holdings, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), the Issuer agreed to issue and sell, in the aggregate, 10,869,566 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”) to the Purchaser for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000. The closing of the sale of the Purchased Shares occurred on March 31, 2023. The source of funds for the Purchaser was cash on hand.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

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

 

(a) and (b) Calculations of the percentage of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned is based on 63,837,298 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of March 10, 2023, as set forth in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Issuer on March 16, 2023, and takes into account (i) the issuance of the Purchased Shares to Libman Family Holdings, LLC and the issuance of a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock to certain persons affiliated with Blackstone (defined below) on March 31, 2023, and (ii) any shares of Class A Common Stock underlying FoA Units held by each of the Reporting Persons, as applicable.

 

The Reporting Persons own an aggregate of 70,308,360 FoA Units, 11,214,921 shares of Class A Common Stock and 8,791,920 Earnout Rights, which includes (i) 11,214,921 shares of Class A Common Stock held by Mr. Libman or by entities for which Mr. Libman is a trustee; (ii) 70,308,360 FoA Units and 8,564,208 Earnout Rights held by LFH; and (iii) 227,712 Earnout Rights held by TMO. The Reporting Persons beneficially own 52.3% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock in the aggregate, as calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

The aggregate number and percentage of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Pursuant to the limited liability company agreements of LFH and TMO, each of LFH and TMO is managed by a board of managers consisting of Brian Libman as the sole manager.

 

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the Class A Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

 

By virtue of the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below), the Reporting Persons and affiliates of Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”) are deemed to be members of a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Blackstone and its affiliates are filing a separate Schedule 13D to report the Class A Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own. Collectively, the Reporting Persons and Blackstone and its affiliates may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 162,560,792 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing 79.4% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.

 

(c) Pursuant to the LTIP Award Settlement Agreement described in Item 6 to the Schedule 13D, certain equity holders of the Issuer and Finance of America Equity Capital LLC are obligated to deliver a number of shares of Class A Common Stock to the Issuer in connection with the settlement of awards of restricted stock units granted by the Issuer.

 

In connection with the Issuer’s settlement of restricted stock units into shares of Class A Common Stock and pursuant to the LTIP Award Settlement Agreement, on April 3, 2023, Libman Family Holdings, LLC delivered 1,150,958 shares of Class A Common Stock (which shares were received upon conversion of an equal number of FoA Units) for no consideration.
