The Oct. 20 vote is the binary catalyst. Garg's claim of >46% support suggests the outcome is close — watch for additional shareholder disclosures and any settlement talks before the Oct. 2 consent deadline. The company's investigation into alleged vote-buying could trigger legal complications that delay or invalidate consents.

Executive Summary
Founder Vishal Garg filed this DFAN14A to escalate his consent solicitation campaign to remove five directors of Better Home & Finance Holding Co. The filing includes a HousingWire article quoting Garg claiming >46% voting support and accusing the board of misleading shareholders, while the company's special committee investigates allegations that Garg offered company assets to former employees for votes. The Oct. 20 vote is the binary catalyst — Garg's success would return control to the founder with a 90-day plan targeting $2B quarterly volume and $7M monthly revenue, while failure keeps the current board's turnaround in place.
Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- Garg claims >46% of voting power support for removing five directors
- Oct. 20 is the actual vote date; Oct. 2 is the new deadline for submitting written consents
- Garg proposed three independent director candidates: Bing Gordon, David Heidecorn, Steve Sarracino
- Company's special committee opened investigation into allegations Garg offered company assets for votes
- Garg's 90-day plan targets $2 billion in quarterly funded volume, $7 million in additional monthly revenue, and ending $4 million monthly cash burn

- Top executives Chad Smith, Barry Feierstein, and Leah Price have left since Garg's departure
Financial Impact
Garg's 90-day plan targets $2B quarterly funded volume, $7M additional monthly revenue, and ending $4M monthly cash burn — if achieved, this would represent a material operational turnaround. The consent solicitation outcome determines control of a company with over $1.5B in cumulative net losses since 2022.
Risk Factors
- Garg's 46% support claim may not reach the >50% threshold needed to remove directors
- Company's investigation into alleged improper inducements could lead to litigation or SEC scrutiny
- Garg's proposed director candidates have no agreement to serve — board composition post-vote is uncertain
- Change-of-control provisions in equity plans could accelerate vesting and trigger severance payments
