EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 9 (“Amendment No. 9”) to Schedule 13D relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Finance of America Companies Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and amends and supplements the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 26, 2021, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on October 1, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on April 5, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 10, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 7, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed on January 4, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed on April 4, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D filed on April 3, 2024, and as amended by Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D filed on July 26, 2024 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 9, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 5830 Granite Parkway, Suite 400, Plano, Texas 75024. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 9 shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On October 31, 2024, Finance of America Funding LLC (“FOA Funding”), a subsidiary of the Issuer, completed certain exchange and consent solicitations transactions, including the exchange of $342,622,000 of FOA Funding’s existing 7.875% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Unsecured Notes”) for (i) $195,783,947 of FOA Funding’s new 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “New Senior Secured Notes”), (ii) $146,793,000 of FOA Funding’s new 10.000% Exchangeable Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “New Exchangeable Notes”) and (iii) cash consideration of $$856,555 (such transactions, the “Exchange Offer”). In the Exchange Offer, LFH exchanged $77,284,000 in principal amount of 2025 Unsecured Notes for $44,162,285 in principal amount of New Senior Secured Notes, $33,121,000 in principal amount of New Exchangeable Notes and $193,210 in cash.

Holders of the New Exchangeable Notes have the right to exchange all or any portion of their New Exchangeable Notes at their option, at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding November 30, 2029 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to certain limitations as further described in the indenture governing the New Exchangeable Notes (the “New Exchangeable Notes Indenture”). The New Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable on the terms set forth in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture into shares of the Class A Common Stock. To the extent that the Issuer, however, determines in good faith that it would be in the best interest of Issuer to do so in order to preserve the benefit of tax attributes of the Issuer and/or its subsidiaries, including net operating losses, FOA Funding, in its discretion, may elect to settle any exchange in part or in whole by delivering the cash value of the shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon such exchange. The exchange rate is initially 36.36364 shares of Class A Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of New Exchangeable Notes (the “Exchange Rate”), which is equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $27.50 per share of the Class A Common Stock. The Exchange Rate will be subject to adjustment as provided in the New Exchangeable Notes Indenture.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a)-(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) and (b) Calculations of the percentage of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned is based on 9,925,802 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of September 15, 2024 as set forth in the Issuer’s definitive information statement, filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 8, 2024, and takes into account any shares of Class A Common Stock underlying FoA Units and New Exchangeable Notes held by each of the Reporting Persons, as applicable.

4

The Reporting Persons own an aggregate of 6,955,056 FoA Units, 1,131,903 shares of Class A Common Stock, 879,190 Earnout Rights, and New Exchangeable Notes exchangeable for 1,204,400 shares of Class A Common Stock, which includes (i) 44,947 shares of Class A Common Stock held by Mr. Libman or by entities for which Mr. Libman is a trustee; (ii) 1,086,956 shares of Class A Common Stock, 6,955,056 FoA Units, New Exchangeable Notes exchangeable for 1,204,400 shares of Class A Common Stock and 856,420 Earnout Rights held by LFH; and (iii) 22,770 Earnout Rights held by TMO. The Reporting Persons beneficially own 51.4% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock in the aggregate, as calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Not included in this Schedule 13D are 10,000 restricted stock units granted to Mr. Libman which are scheduled to vest on the earlier of (i) May 13, 2025 or (ii) the next regularly scheduled annual stockholders’ meeting of the Issuer, and upon vesting, will be settled into one share of Class A Common Stock or cash (or a combination thereof) at the discretion of the Issuer’s compensation committee.

The aggregate number and percentage of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the limited liability company agreements of LFH and TMO, each of LFH and TMO is managed by a board of managers consisting of Brian Libman as the sole manager.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the Class A Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares of Class A Common Stock.

By virtue of the Stockholders Agreement (as defined below), the Reporting Persons and affiliates of Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”) are deemed to be members of a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Blackstone and its affiliates separately filed Schedule 13D reports with respect to the Class A Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own. Collectively, the Reporting Persons and Blackstone and its affiliates may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 17,321,176 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing 75.6% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.

Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(c) Except as set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in Class A Common Stock during the past sixty days.
