Material Agreement and Key Terms
- loanDepot.com, LLC entered into Amendment No. 8 to its March 10, 2017 Master Repurchase Agreement with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC, Credit Suisse AG, and Alpine Securitization LTD.

Financial Metrics and Liquidity
The filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash-flow, margin, debt-balance, utilization, or other operating financial metrics. It does disclose a temporary increase in available mortgage-loan repurchase capacity to $2 billion, but does not state the prior facility amount, amount drawn, pricing, maturity, collateral balance, or liquidity impact.
