The disposals totaled about $11.28 million and leave SFS Holding with 4,324,691 shares and Ishbia with 408,131 shares directly.

Separately, UWM’s Q4 2025 revenue beat estimates, and the company is pursuing a proxy solicitation tied to its proposed acquisition of Two Harbors Investment Corp.

The unsolicited bid is being reviewed by an ad hoc committee of Two Harbors’ board as a potential "Company Superior Proposal." The special meeting of Two Harbors stockholders has been rescheduled to allow additional time for voting and proxy solicitation.
