Schedule of Reverse Mortgage Revenue, Net
The following table presents the estimated fair value of reverse mortgage loans classified as held for sale, at fair value and previously classified as Loans held for investment, at fair value. Loans were reclassified to loans held for sale, at fair value (pursuant to the fair value election) at December 31, 2025 as we intend, and agreed to sell the loans to FAR in November 2025 along with the HMBS-related borrowings at book value (determined at closing of the transaction). At March 31, 2026, the transaction remained contingent on Ginnie Mae’s approval. On April 30, 2026, the parties entered into an amendment to the
November 2025 agreements whereby OMC has agreed to sell reverse MSRs comprised of approximately 20,000 HECM loans and the HMBS related borrowings, subject to Ginnie Mae approval and customary closing conditions. Gross proceeds from the amended sale are an estimated $105 to $115 million after pricing related adjustments, including a slight discount to book value, and before transaction costs, repayment of certain warehouse financings, and other adjustments, including as a result of asset and liabilities balances as of the closing date. Following these payments and adjustments, the transaction is expected to result in net proceeds at closing of approximately $70 to $80 million. As of March 31, 2026, the balances include $5,525 million securitized assets ($5,145 million UPB), the associated $5,451 million HMBS-related borrowings (or net $74 million reverse MSR), and approximately $43 million newly originated reverse loans and tails pending securitization and net servicing related liabilities. See Note 23 - Subsequent Events for additional information.
The reverse loans described herein exclude reverse loans pledged as collateral for the asset-backed securitization notes issued by OLIT and certain non HECM loans which are classified as Loans held for sale, at fair value on the face of the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.

(2)Tails include draws on securitized HECM loans, mortgage insurance premium, servicing fee and other advances which we subsequently securitize.
(3)As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the balance includes $27.2 million and $58.4 million, respectively, of new HECM loan originations pending pooling into HMBS (pipeline loans).
