Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 31, 2023, Home Point Financial Corporation (“HPF”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Home Point Capital Inc. (the “Company”), terminated the Mortgage Loan Participation Sale Agreement (the “JPM Gestation Agreement”), dated as of November 2, 2021, between HPF, as seller and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as purchaser (“Purchaser”). . The JPM Gestation Agreement permitted the Purchaser to purchase from HPF from time to time during the term of the Gestation Agreement participation certificates evidencing a 100% undivided beneficial ownership interest in designated pools of fully amortizing first lien residential mortgage loans that were intended to ultimately be included in residential mortgage-backed securities (the “Agency MBS”) issued or guaranteed, as applicable, by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), and the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). The aggregate purchase price of participation certificates owned by Purchaser at any given time for which Purchaser has not been paid the purchase price for the related Agency MBS by the applicable takeout investor as specified in the applicable takeout commitment could not exceed $400 million. The parties mutually agreed to terminate the JPM Gestation Agreement prior to its scheduled maturity date of September 29, 2023. HPF did not incur any early termination penalties.

Certain affiliates of Purchaser have performed commercial banking, investment banking, or advisory services for the Company from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. They may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of its business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
