The lawsuit, captioned Bond v. UWM Holdings Corporation, No. 26-cv-12862 (E.D. Mich.), alleges UWM and top executives violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by concealing an outsized hedge position taken ahead of a since-collapsed $1.3 billion merger with Two Harbors Investment Corp. The all-stock deal, signed in December 2025 to expand UWM's mortgage servicing rights portfolio, was terminated by Two Harbors in March 2026 after a competing offer emerged; Two Harbors paid UWM's termination fee.
