MR. COOPER GROUP INC.

SUPPLEMENT DATED APRIL 30, 2021

TO THE PROXY STATEMENT FOR

THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON MAY 13, 2021

The Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed by Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (the "Company") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2021 (the "Original Filing") in connection with the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 13, 2021 (the "Annual Meeting") discloses the Company's operating return on tangible common equity, tangible book value and tangible book value per share, in each case for fiscal 2020. This supplement includes additional information regarding these metrics.

Operating return on tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that is computed by dividing adjusted net income (operating income) by average tangible common equity (also known as tangible book value). Tangible common equity equals total stockholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets. The annual average is calculated by taking the quarterly averages of beginning and ending period. Management believes that operating return on tangible common equity is a useful financial measure because it measures the performance of a business consistently and enables investors and others to assess the Company's use of equity.

Tangible book value is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as stockholders' equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Tangible book value per share is calculated by dividing tangible book value by the number of common shares outstanding. Management believes tangible book value and tangible book value per share are useful metrics to investors because they provide a more accurate measure of the realizable value of stockholder returns, excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets.

The following tables (1) reconcile GAAP return on common equity to operating return on tangible common equity and

  1. GAAP book value and GAAP book value per share to tangible book value and tangible book value per share, respectively.
