Monitor the outcome of the consent solicitation and any further board/exec changes (the 8-K on 2026-09-08 suggests results are materializing). The activist's specific operational plan (UK bank sale, buyback, partnerships) provides a concrete framework to evaluate if Garg gains control.

Executive Summary
Founder Vishal Garg posted a video and materials to social media outlining his five-point plan if he regains control of Better Home & Finance, including selling the UK bank, implementing a stock buyback, closing five big partnerships, optimizing sales funnels, and achieving profitability.

The filing signals Garg is actively campaigning for his return, emphasizing a concrete operational and strategic agenda.
