Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed June 9, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
On June 9, 2026, Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT) announced a proposed private offering of $1.2 billiona aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes, split evenly into $600 million due 2031 and $600 million due 2034.
The notes will be guaranteed by the company's domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its existing senior notes, and offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S. The company intends to use the proceeds to repay Rocket Mortgage, LLC's 2.875%b Senior Notes due 2026 and certain other indebtedness of the company and its subsidiaries. Because the offering is not yet priced and the filing does not disclose coupon or pricing terms, investors cannot yet assess the cost of the new debt.
The filing is primarily a refinancing and liability-management event rather than a change in operating strategy. The filing also supplies supplemental financial information tied to the October 1, 2025 acquisition of Mr. Cooper Group. It includes Mr. Cooper's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (Exhibit 99.2) and unaudited pro forma combined financial information for Rocket (Exhibit 99.3).
The pro forma statements give effect to the Redfin, Mr. Cooper and Up-C collapse transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2025. Under those pro forma figures, Rocket's combined net income for Q1 2026 was $319 millionc, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with a pro forma net loss of $328 million in Q1 2025. For full-year 2025, pro forma net income was $75 million, but after preferred and dividend-equivalent adjustments, pro forma EPS was a loss of $(0.03).
The pro forma data should be read with care. It reflects Mr. Cooper's results on a pre-acquisition basis, excludes synergies and integration costs, and uses a blended 24%d tax rate that differs from actual effective rates.
The Mr. Cooper statements are unaudited and cover a period that predates the acquisition close. Investors should therefore treat the filing as a debt-refinancing disclosure plus historical context for the Mr. Cooper combination, and should watch for the final pricing, coupon, and use-of-proceeds details in subsequent filings.

03—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much debt is Rocket Companies offering and when do the notes mature?
Rocket announced a proposed private offering totaling $1.2 billion: $600 million of senior notes due 2031 and $600 million of senior notes due 2034. The offering had not been priced at the time of the filing, so final terms could change.
What will Rocket use the proceeds for?
The company intends to use the proceeds to repay Rocket Mortgage, LLC's 2.875% Senior Notes due 2026 and certain other indebtedness of the company and its subsidiaries. This is a refinancing rather than funding for a new acquisition or growth initiative.
Are these notes publicly registered securities that retail investors can buy?
No. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to certain non-U.S. persons under Regulation S. This filing is not an offer to sell securities in any jurisdiction where such an offer would be unlawful.
What does the Mr. Cooper financial information in this filing tell investors?
The filing attaches Mr. Cooper's unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, along with pro forma combined information for Rocket. The pro forma data assumes the Redfin and Mr. Cooper transactions occurred on January 1, 2025, and excludes synergies and integration costs, so it is illustrative rather than a forecast.
Does this filing change Rocket's previously reported financial results?
No. The filing states that it does not modify or update Rocket's condensed consolidated financial statements in its 2025 Form 10-K or its Q1 2026 Form 10-Q. The supplemental Mr. Cooper and pro forma information is provided for context and does not restate prior results.
