Two Harbors announced on March 27 that CrossCountry boosted its buyout offer to $10.80 per share from the previous offer of $10.75 per share. It also said that CrossCountry agreed to cover termination fees tied to the canceled merger agreement with UWMC.

Back in December 2025, Two Harbors had agreed to merge with UWMC, and it had even scheduled a special shareholder meeting for April 7 to seek approval for that merger. But it changed its mind, choosing instead to be acquired by CrossCountry.

Initially, CrossCountry offered to pay $10.75 per share for Two Harbors. But a few days later, it came back with a better offer, agreeing to pay $10.80 for every share of Two Harbors. And it’s an all-cash offer. Moreover, CrossCountry agreed to pay $25.4 million in termination fees to UWMC on behalf of Two Harbors.

According to Jones Trading, CrossCountry’s all-cash offer for Two Harbors is reasonable. Two Harbors’ board has unanimously approved the CrossCountry deal and recommended that Two Harbors shareholders approve it also. If all goes well, Two Harbors expects the transaction to close in Q2 2026.
