This filing confirms an active bidding war for TWO between CCM and UWMC. The Board's unchanged recommendation for CCM suggests UWMC's latest proposal may not yet be superior, but the ongoing review keeps the door open for a higher bid. Traders should monitor for a formal Board response on the UWMC proposal and any further amendments to the CCM agreement, as the outcome will determine the final acquisition price for TWO shares. The upcoming special meeting vote on the CCM transaction is a key catalyst.

Executive Summary
Two Harbors Investment Corp. (TWO) filed additional definitive proxy soliciting materials confirming receipt of a further revised unsolicited non-binding proposal from UWM Holdings Corporation (UWMC) to acquire TWO. The Board stated it will review the latest UWMC proposal consistent with its fiduciary duties and the existing merger agreement with CrossCountry Mortgage (CCM), which remains in full force and effect, and continues to recommend stockholders vote in favor of the CCM transaction. This filing signals an active bidding war for TWO, with the Board maintaining its CCM recommendation while keeping the door open to UWMC's competing offer.
Key Facts
- TWO received a further revised unsolicited non-binding proposal from UWMC.

Financial Impact
