↑ 1%Update: better's special committee says every director but Garg backed ending founder-led leadership. The committee formed to respond to the founder's campaign to replace the board said the decision to move on from him was unanimous among the other directors, and laid out operating results to argue the company is better off without him. The special committee of Better Home & Finance's board said Monday that every director except founder Vishal Garg supported the decision to end founder-led leadership at the digital mortgage lender, and that the committee is unanimous that Garg should have no continuing operating role. The statement is the board's most direct response yet to Garg's campaign to remove a majority of the company's directors and return himself to an executive position. "The decision to appoint Daniel Lewis as Interim Chief Executive Officer, transition away from founder-led executive leadership and conduct a search for a permanent CEO was supported by every director other than Better's founder and former CEO, Vishal Garg," the committee said in its Aug. 24 statement. How the fight escalated. Since then the dispute has moved into court and into the proxy machinery. The board has filed consent revocation statements opposing Garg's consent solicitation - the mechanism by which a shareholder can replace directors without waiting for an annual meeting - and the company has sued Garg, alleging federal securities law violations in connection with the campaign. The committee's framing of the stock record is pointed: it says shares fell more than 90% during Garg's tenure as CEO. That is the committee's characterization, offered in the context of a control fight. The operating case. Rather than argue governance alone, the committee laid out a set of operating claims meant to show momentum under Lewis. The company said it remains within its third-quarter guidance and expects a return to growth. It described a new partnership as producing the strongest initial performance in company history measured by locked loan volume, and said it expects to exceed $45 million in annualized cost reductions. Its wholesale program and the launch of TinmanGo - a version of Better's proprietary loan origination technology - are on track, the committee said, with at least two additional enterprise partnerships planned. A process to sell the company's U.K. bank is ongoing. Every one of those figures is the company's own disclosure in the middle of a contested campaign, and none has been reported through an audited quarterly filing. What it means. Verified: the statement was issued, the committee's positions are as quoted, and the operating claims are as disclosed. Attributed: the performance metrics, the stock-decline figure and the characterization of Garg's campaign as disruptive are all the special committee's. RealtyWire analysis: the disclosure of the board vote breakdown is the substantive news here. A consent solicitation asks shareholders to conclude that the board acted against their interests; a unanimous vote of every independent director cuts directly against that argument, and putting it on the record is a deliberate move to shape how institutional holders read the proxy materials. The operating metrics serve the same purpose. Cost reductions and partnership volume are the two things Better can point to that do not depend on the mortgage rate environment, which has not cooperated with anyone this year. Whether they are enough to hold a shareholder base that has watched the stock fall this far is a different question. For the wider mortgage industry, the case is a reminder that founder control at a company that went public through a special purpose acquisition vehicle is durable right up until the board decides it is not - and that unwinding it is expensive and public. What to watch: the outcome of the consent solicitation and any deadline set for it, rulings in the company's suit against Garg, whether a permanent CEO is named before the fight resolves, and Better's third-quarter results against the guidance the committee reaffirmed.
Better Home & Finance's Special Committee has issued a statement supporting the appointment of Daniel Lewis as interim chief executive officer and the transition away from founder-led leadership. The decision to replace founder and former CEO Vishal Garg was backed by every director except Garg himself. The committee reported operational progress under Lewis's leadership. Better remains within guidance for the third quarter and expects to return to growth. A newly-launched partnership is producing the strongest initial performance in company history by locked loan volume. The company expects to exceed its previously announced $45 million in annualised cost reductions. Better is preparing to launch its wholesale programme powered by TinmanGo and at least two additional enterprise partnerships. The sale process for its UK-based bank remains ongoing. The Special Committee stated Garg should have no continuing operating role at Better, noting the company's stock declined more than 90% during his tenure as CEO.

Stonebridge parent company acquired by BetterHome Group. August 19, 2026 Mortgage Support Services Ltd (MSS), the parent company of Stonebridge Mortgage Solutions, has been acquired by BetterHome Group. Despite coming under the same ownership, Stonebridge Mortgage Solutions and HLPartnership - after the latter's acquisition in 2024 - will continue to operate independently, retaining their existing brands, propositions and cultures. BetterHome Group said it sees value in the distinct strengths of both networks and does not plan to combine their operations. The deal, which remains subject to Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) change in control approval, has been said to support the future growth of MSS and Stonebridge through additional investment in areas such as technology, services and adviser support. BetterHome Group said the acquisition underlines its ongoing commitment to the UK mortgage market and will provide Stonebridge and the wider MSS group with access to greater resources and expertise as they continue to develop their offering. Rudi Botha (pictured), group CEO of BetterHome Group, said: "When BetterHome Group invested in Josewin, the parent of HLPartnership, in 2024, it was driven by its belief in the strength of the UK mortgage market and in the power of partnership. Mortgage Solutions saw a strong alignment of values and a shared ambition to support successful mortgage and protection businesses for the long term. "The agreement to acquire MSS is the next step in that journey. MSS is a strong and well-respected business, with talented people, an established proposition and trusted relationships with its member firms and partners. Mortgage Solutions has great respect for what Rob Clifford and his colleagues have built and for the culture and commitment to members that make Stonebridge distinctive. "Our ambition is to support MSS in the next phase of its growth, building on the strengths of the business and the strategy already in place. An important part of that is creating the right environment for member firms to grow their businesses and continue delivering for their customers." Rob Clifford, chief executive of Stonebridge, commented: "Having led MSS' acquisition of Stonebridge in 2015 and been its chief executive since 2019, it was of great personal importance to me that Mortgage Solutions selected the very best partner for the next phase of its growth journey. "In BetterHome, Mortgage Solutions has a new parent, which has decades of experience in the mortgage sector, understands the importance of the relationships Mortgage Solutions has built with its member firms and partners, and fully supports its strategy. "The BetterHome team recognised the strength of the MSS family of businesses and has bought into the strategy that has delivered its sector-leading growth. This is a great fit and a significant vote of confidence in the business. "I'm excited about the future and greatly looking forward to continuing to lead the business as part of BetterHome Group."
Better Home & Finance is suing its founder and former CEO Vishal Garg, accusing him of waging a "scorched-earth campaign" to regain control of the company. The lawsuit alleges Garg violated federal securities law by building a coalition of shareholders through misleading statements and claims he insulted employees, calling them "monkeys" and "dumb dolphins". The board removed Garg in August, citing net losses exceeding $1.5 billion since 2022 and a stock price drop of over 90 per cent. The company alleges Garg falsely claimed to have 52 per cent shareholder support without filing required proxy statements with the SEC. Garg previously made headlines for firing approximately 900 employees via a Zoom call lasting under two minutes.
