The Company, through its holding company subsidiary, FAH, operates three lending companies, Finance of America Mortgage LLC (“FAM”), Finance of America Reverse LLC (“FAR”), and Finance of America Commercial LLC (“FACo”) (collectively, the “operating lending subsidiaries”).

Impact of the
COVID-19
Pandemic
The
COVID-19
pandemic has adversely impacted global financial markets and contributed to significant volatility in market liquidity and yields required by market investors in the type of financial instruments originated by the Company’s primary operating subsidiaries. The full impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this report. The Company’s management is actively monitoring the global situation and its effect on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce. Further, the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact that the
COVID-19
pandemic will have on the residential mortgage and commercial lending industries. As of June 30, 2021 (Successor), 551 clients, or 0.57% of the total serviced portfolio, have entered into a forbearance plan as a result of the economic impacts caused by
COVID-19.
As the pandemic continues, it has the potential to cause additional volatility in the financial markets and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, intangible assets and liquidity in fiscal year 2021.
