What happened
Oaktree Capital Management provided a $2.05 billion equity investment to UWM Holdings. This capital raise was intended to strengthen UWM’s balance sheet and reduce its debt-to-equity ratio, according to UWM Holdings. Separately, UWM Holdings failed in its attempt to acquire Two Harbors. Mat Ishbia was approved as the majority owner of the Phoenix Suns.
Why it matters
The investment from Oaktree Capital Management is designed to address financial turbulence at UWM Holdings, which recently announced quarterly losses and the suspension of its shareholder dividends. The failure of UWM Holdings to acquire Two Harbors removes a major strategic buyer from the market.
