ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On August 16, 2023, Pulte Mortgage LLC (“Pulte Mortgage”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PulteGroup, Inc. ("PulteGroup"), entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase, as Agent and representative of itself as a Buyer and the other Buyers ("Agent"), and the other Buyers listed therein. The purpose of the Repurchase Agreement is to finance the origination of mortgage loans by Pulte Mortgage. The Repurchase Agreement expires on the earlier of (i) August 14, 2024, or (ii) the date when the Buyers’ commitments are terminated pursuant to the Repurchase Agreement, by order of any governmental authority, or by operation of law.

The Repurchase Agreement provides for a maximum aggregate commitment of $850 million, subject to certain sublimits, and contains an accordion feature that could increase the maximum aggregate commitment to $900 million based on the Agent obtaining increased committed sums from existing Buyers. The maximum aggregate commitment is initially set at $560 million but contains a series of increases and decreases in order to adjust the borrowing capacity based on seasonal fluctuations in volume. The maximum aggregate commitment is increased to $850 million on December 27, 2023, reduced to $600 million on January 16, 2024, and increased to $700 million on June 26, 2024.

Advances under the Repurchase Agreement carry a Pricing Rate based on the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, or the Default Pricing Rate, both as defined in the Repurchase Agreement. Amounts outstanding under the Repurchase Agreement are not guaranteed by PulteGroup or any of its subsidiaries that guarantee PulteGroup's senior notes.

The Repurchase Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to Pulte Mortgage. The negative covenants include, among others, certain limitations on transactions involving acquisitions, mergers, the incurrence of debt, sale of assets, and creation of liens upon any of its mortgage notes or mortgages subject to the Repurchase Agreement. Additional covenants include quantitative thresholds related to: (i) Adjusted Tangible Net Worth, (ii) Leverage Ratio, (iii) Liquidity, and (iv) Net Income, each of which is defined in the Repurchase Agreement.

A copy of the Repurchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is herein incorporated by reference. The above referenced summary of the material terms of the Repurchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.
