PONTIAC, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE:UWMC) (the “Company”) announced today that SFS Holding Corp, (“SFS”), its principal shareholder, has terminated the previously announced secondary offering of Class A Common Stock and concurrent stock repurchase effective immediately (the “Offering”). The Offering was intended to increase UWMC’s public float by approximately 50%, thereby making it a more liquid, tradable stock for larger indexes and institutional investors, while at the same time utilizing the Company’s buyback authorization to reduce the number of fully diluted shares outstanding. However, the market’s reaction to the Offering resulted in a share price level at which SFS is not willing to sell.
