Item 8.01Other Events.

On September 2, 2021 (the “Sale Date”), Home Point Financial Corporation, as seller (“HPF”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Home Point Capital Inc. (the “Company”), completed the sale of servicing rights relating to certain single family mortgage loans (“MSRs”) serviced for the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) with an aggregate unpaid principle balance of approximately $10.8 billion (the “Servicing Rights”) to Freedom Mortgage Corporation (“Freedom”) pursuant to a Loan Servicing Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated August 11, 2021, between Freedom, as buyer, and HPF, as seller. The total purchase price for the Servicing Rights was approximately $122.3 million, which is subject to certain customary holdbacks and adjustments. The sale represents approximately 8.7% of HPF’s total mortgage servicing portfolio as of June 30, 2020 and approximately 40.9% percent of HPF’s total Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing portfolio as of June 30, 2020. Ginnie Mae consented to the transfer of the Servicing Rights pursuant to the Agreement.

Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains certain “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined in the U.S. federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding potential purchase price holdbacks and adjustments. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this communication, including among others, statements relating to potential purchase price holdbacks and adjustments and other similar matters are forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “predicts,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “can,” “continue,” “potential,” “should” and the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology often identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are based on currently available information, operating plans, and projections about future events and trends, are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements, including the risks discussed in Part I, Item 1A. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed on March 12, 2021. Factors, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, among others: (1) the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economy and financial markets it has caused; (2) the dependence of HPF’s loan origination and servicing revenues on macroeconomic and U.S. residential real estate market conditions; (3) counterparty risk; (4) the requirement to make servicing advances that can be subject to delays in recovery or may not be recoverable in certain circumstances; (5) HPF’s ability to detect misconduct and fraud; (6) risks associated with higher risk loans that HPF services; (7) risks associated with HPF’s acquisition of mortgage servicing rights; and (8) the impact of HPF’s counterparties terminating HPF’s servicing rights under which HPF conducts servicing activities. Many of the important factors that will determine these results are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this communication. Except as otherwise required by law, the Company does not assume any obligation to publicly update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this communication or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
