Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On December 26, 2024, HomeStreet, Inc., a Washington corporation (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary HomeStreet Bank (“HomeStreet”), entered into a Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase approximately 190 commercial multi-family real estate loans (the “Loans”) from HomeStreet (the “Transaction”), with a current aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $990 million. The aggregate purchase price of the Loans shall be equal to 91.46% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loans as of the closing date, which currently amounts to a total purchase price of approximately $906 million (the “Purchase Price”). HomeStreet may be obligated to repurchase the Loans sold to Purchaser if there is, subject to certain customary survival periods, a breach of a representation and warranty related to the purchased Loans. The Loans are being sold on a servicing retained basis and after the closing date, HomeStreet will maintain all servicing responsibilities for the Loans. The Purchaser is not an affiliate of the Company or HomeStreet.
The Purchase Agreement provides for two separate closings: approximately $652 million is expected to close on or about December 27, 2024 and approximately $338 million is expected to close on or about December 30, 2024. In the event of Purchaser’s failure to consummate the Transaction under the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement for any reason other than HomeStreet’s material non-cooperation and/or material non-performance, as HomeStreet's sole and exclusive remedy, HomeStreet may either obtain specific performance with respect to the purchase and sale of the Loans or receive as liquidated damages payment equal to $2 million and terminate the Purchase Agreement. In the event of HomeStreet’s failure to consummate the Transaction under the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement for any reason other than Purchaser’s material non-cooperation and/or material non-performance, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, Purchaser may either obtain specific performance with respect to the purchase and sale of the Loans or receive as liquidated damages payment equal to $2 million and terminate the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, termination rights and other customary provisions for a transaction of this size and nature, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including completion of due diligence. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions to closing the Transaction will be satisfied.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the redacted Purchase Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference. The Purchase Agreement contains representations, warranties and other provisions that were made only for purposes of the Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto.
The Purchase Agreement is a contractual document that establishes and governs the legal relations among the parties thereto and is not intended to be a source of factual, business or operational information about the Company, HomeStreet Bank or the Loans. The representations and warranties made by HomeStreet and Purchaser in the Purchase Agreement may be (i) qualified by disclosure schedules containing information that modifies, qualifies or creates exceptions to such representations and warranties and (ii) subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances.

For all forward-looking statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act.
We caution readers that actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the Company’s forward-looking statements. Rather, more important factors could affect the Company’s future results, including but not limited to the following: (1) our ability to close and consummate the reported loan sale transaction of approximately $990 million; (2) our ability to service the sold loans; (3) our ability to pay off more expensive debt that we hold; (4) changes in the U.S. and global economies, including business disruptions, reductions in employment, inflationary pressures and an increase in business failures, specifically among our customers; (5) changes in the interest rate environment; (6) changes in deposit flows, loan demand or real estate values may adversely affect the business of our primary subsidiary, HomeStreet Bank (the “Bank”), through which substantially all of our operations are carried out; (7) there may be increases in competitive pressure among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions; (8) our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team; (9) the timing and occurrence or non-occurrence of events may be subject to circumstances beyond our control; (10) our ability to control operating costs and expenses; (11) our credit quality and the effect of credit quality on our credit losses expense and allowance for credit losses; (12) the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses; (13) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines may cause our financial condition to be perceived or interpreted differently; (14) legislative or regulatory changes that may adversely affect our business or financial condition, including, without limitation, changes in corporate and/or individual income tax laws and policies, changes in privacy laws, and changes in regulatory capital or other rules, and the availability of resources to address or respond to such changes; (15) general economic conditions, either nationally or locally in some or all areas in which we conduct business, or conditions in the securities markets or banking industry, may be less favorable than what we currently anticipate; (16) challenges our customers may face in meeting current underwriting standards may adversely impact all or a substantial portion of the value of our rate-lock loan activity we recognize; (17) technological changes may be more difficult or expensive than what we anticipate; (18) a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or information technology infrastructure, or those of our third-party providers and vendors, including due to cyber-attacks; (19) success or consummation of new business initiatives may be more difficult or expensive than what we anticipate; (20) our ability to grow efficiently both organically and through acquisitions and to manage our growth costs; (21) staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our work force and potential associated charges; (22) litigation, investigations or other matters before regulatory agencies, whether currently existing or commencing in the future, may delay the occurrence or non-occurrence of events longer than what we anticipate; and (23) our ability to obtain regulatory approvals or non-objection to take various capital actions, including the payment of dividends by us or the Bank, or repurchases of our common stock. A discussion of the factors, risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results, business goals and operational and financial objectives cited in this release, other releases, public statements and/or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is also contained in the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company's Forms 10-K and 10-Q and in our Current Reports on Form 8-K we file with the SEC. We strongly recommend readers review those disclosures in conjunction with the discussions herein.
All future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to above. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and factors that the Company currently deems immaterial may become material, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these events or how they may affect the Company.
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.

19.Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of all provisions of this Agreement.
20.Remedies for Breach; Limitation of Damages. Neither party shall be liable to the other party for any consequential, special or punitive damages. If there is a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Section 6 and such breach materially and adversely affects the value of any of the Loans, the Mortgages or the Mortgaged Properties (each, a “Breach”), Buyer shall give written notice to Seller following discovery of such Breach, and Seller shall have the right to cure all Breaches which are the subject of the notice in all material respects during a period of 90 days after receipt of such notice; provided, however, that if it is reasonably likely such Breach could be cured, but not within such 90 day period, Buyer and Seller shall mutually agree to a reasonable further extension of the expiration of the cure period to permit Seller to cure such Breach; provided further, however, that in no event shall the sum of (x) the original 90-day cure period and (y) all extensions exceed 180 days (the “Cure Period”); and provided further, however, that with respect to any breach of the representation and warranty contained in No. 33 on Schedule 2 to this Agreement (entitled “Loan-to-Value and Prepayment Penalty Characteristics”), the period for which cure shall be permitted shall be 85 days after receipt of such notice with no extension; and provided further, however, that with
respect to a breach of the Special Liens Representation, the period for which cure shall be permitted shall be 30 days after receipt of such notice with no extension. If such breach is not cured in all material respects within the Cure Period, or not waived or consented to in writing by Buyer, Seller shall repurchase the affected Loan or Loans at the Repurchase Price within 15 Business Days after written demand by Buyer; provided, however, that the Repurchase Price in respect of a breach of the Special Liens Representation shall be paid within 5 Business Days after written demand by Buyer. In such event, upon payment by Seller of the Repurchase Price and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Buyer in connection with the repurchase, Buyer shall reassign the applicable Loan or Loans and the related Loan Documents to Seller by means of assignment documents substantially similar to the applicable Closing Documents. Buyer’s remedies set forth in this Section 20 shall be the exclusive remedies of Buyer, and Buyer shall not be entitled to any other rights, remedies or other relief, at law or in equity, for Seller’s breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement. If Seller repurchases any Loan pursuant to this Section 20, Buyer, following receipt by Buyer of the Repurchase Price therefor, promptly will deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller, all Loan Documents with respect to such Loan, including all documents or instruments constituting part of the Review File, the servicing file (including any documents or instruments added to the servicing file after the Applicable Closing Date). Each document of such Loan that was endorsed or assigned to Buyer will be endorsed and assigned to Seller in the same manner. Furthermore, Buyer agrees to pay to Seller, within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof, any payments received by Buyer with respect to such Loan after the repurchase date. Any Impounds and Reserves held by Buyer in connection with the Loans shall be transferred by Buyer to Seller, subject to the rights of the Obligors with respect thereto, on the repurchase date. From time to time after the repurchase date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the receipt thereof, amounts constituting an Impound or Reserve payment.
Buyer or Permitted Assignee, as applicable, shall provide a certificate to Seller which shall include the following certifications with respect to the applicable Loan, in each case as of the date the Loan is assigned by Buyer to Seller and subject to the Pre-Closing Facts and Seller Fault Exceptions (as defined below), and which shall survive the date of repurchase of the applicable Loan:
(1)Buyer or Permitted Assignee, as applicable, is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Loan and the related Loan Documents; provided that this representation shall not be required if the Breach that gives rise to the repurchase is due to the fact that Seller was not the sole legal and beneficial owner of such Loan and the related Loan Documents;
(2)The Loan and the related Loan Documents and all rights thereunder are free and clear of any liens or encumbrances placed on such Loan on or after the Applicable Closing Date;
(3)The outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the date of repurchase;
(4)None of Buyer, Permitted Assignee nor any other Person holds escrows or reserves under the Loan other than as set forth on a schedule to be attached to such certificate;
(5)Since the Applicable Closing Date, except as set forth in such certificate, none of Buyer, Permitted Assignee nor any subsequent holder of the Loan has entered into or consented to any material amendment, modification or waiver of the Loan that changes the material economic terms of the Loan or released any
obligor or collateral with respect to the Loan other than in accordance with the terms of the related Loan Documents;
(6)None of Obligor, any additional obligor or pledgor or any guarantor of any Loan nor any agent of any of the foregoing has alleged in a writing received by Buyer or Permitted Assignee that any Loan is subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense, including, without limitation, any defense of usury; and
(7)The servicing and collection practices used by Buyer and/or Permitted Assignee with respect to the Loan have been, in all material respects, legal and have met customary industry standards for servicing of commercial loans similar to the Loans.
“Pre-Closing Facts and Seller Fault Exceptions” means that Buyer shall be deemed to make each and every of the foregoing representations and warranties except to the extent untrue by reason of facts and circumstances existing prior to the Applicable Closing Date or by reason of the acts or omissions of Seller.
21.Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATING TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
22.Confidentiality Agreement. Effective upon the Applicable Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement will terminate with respect to the Loans purchased by Buyer on the related Applicable Closing Date, but not with respect to any other loans covered by the Confidentiality Agreement.
23.Attorneys’ Fees, Etc. If either party retains an attorney to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs of such enforcement from the other party, including, without limitation, all such fees and costs incurred in arbitration and in trial and appellate courts, fees incurred without suit, and all arbitration, court and accounting costs.
24.Counterparts; Electronic Transmission. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original; such counterparts, together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery by a party to this Agreement of a signed copy of this Agreement, or a signed signature page hereto, by fax, e-mail or other electronic means shall be as effective as delivery by such party of a fully-executed complete original of this Agreement.
25.Bulk Sales. The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Loans to Buyer.
26.Costs and Expenses. Seller and Buyer shall each pay their own attorney’s fees and other expenses in connection with preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and each Applicable Closing of the Loan Sale.
27.Failure to Close.
27.1If for any reason, without material non-cooperation and/or material non-performance of Seller with its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer fails to consummate the purchase and sale of the Loans on the Applicable Closing Date according to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled as its sole and exclusive remedy to either (i) receive the Liquidated Damages Payment (as defined below) from Buyer and terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, which Liquidated Damages Payment shall represent and be liquidated damages payable to Seller in such event as a fair and reasonable sum to recompense Seller for the costs incurred, labor and services performed and the loss of its bargain, all of which are difficult to ascertain, and in the event Seller so elects to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, the Liquidated Damages Payment shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement other than as provided in Section 27.4 and other than those that expressly survive the termination hereof or (ii) obtain specific performance with respect to the purchase and sale of the Loans related to such Applicable Closing Date.
27.2If for any reason, without material non-cooperation and/or material non-performance of Buyer with its obligations under this Agreement, Seller fails to consummate the purchase and sale of the Loans on the Applicable Closing Date according to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled as its sole and exclusive remedy to either (i) receive the Liquidated Damages Payment (as defined below) from Seller and terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, which Liquidated Damages Payment shall represent and be liquidated damages payable to Buyer in such event as a fair and reasonable sum to recompense Buyer for the costs incurred, labor and services performed and the loss of its bargain, all of which are difficult to ascertain, and in the event Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, the Liquidated Damages Payment shall be paid to Buyer as liquidated damages, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement other than as provided in Section 27.4 and other than those that expressly survive the termination hereof or (ii) obtain specific performance with respect to the purchase and sale of the Loans related to such Applicable Closing Date.
27.3As used in this Section 27, “Liquidated Damages Payment” means an amount equal to TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000). For the avoidance of doubt, the ability of one party to receive, and the corresponding obligation of the other party to pay, the Liquidated Damages Payment as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 27 will apply, if at all, in one and only one of the following cases: either (a) the non-occurrence of both the Stage One Closing and the Stage Two Closing (it being understood that if there is no Stage One Closing, there will be no Stage Two Closing, and accordingly if the applicable party elects to receive the Liquidated Damages Payment upon the failure to consummate the purchase and sale of Loans to occur on the Stage One Closing Date, it may do so upon the non-occurrence of the Stage One Closing, and such amount shall represent the full liquidated damages due in respect of the non-occurrence of both the Stage One Closing and the Stage Two Closing), or (b) the occurrence of the Stage One Closing but the non-occurrence of the Stage Two Closing. The Liquidated Damages Payment shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Any such payment shall be made within two (2) Business Days after the election by the applicable party in accordance with Section 27.1 or 27.2, as applicable, in accordance with the instructions of such electing party.
27.4In the event that the Stage One Closing occurs but the Stage Two Closing does not occur, then, notwithstanding the payment of any Liquidation Damage Payment and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 27, (i) such Liquidated
Damage Payment shall be liquidated damages solely in respect of and in compensation for the failure to consummate the purchase and sale of Additional Loans at the Stage Two Closing, and (ii) this Agreement (including without limitation all rights and obligations of Buyer and Seller hereunder) shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Loans sold by Seller and purchased by Buyer at the Stage One Closing.

HomeStreet Enters into agreement to sell
$990 Million in Multi-Family Loans
SEATTLE, WA - December 27, 2024 - HomeStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq:HMST), the parent company of HomeStreet Bank (the “Bank”), today announced that the Bank entered into an agreement to sell to Bank of America, on a servicing retained basis, $990 million of multifamily commercial real estate loans, at a price, including the value of the retained servicing, of 92% of the principal balance of the loans. This loan sale is expected to close before December 31, 2024.
“Entering into this agreement and completing the sale of $990 million of multifamily loans is the first step in implementing a new strategic plan which we expect to result in a return to profitability for the Bank and on a consolidated basis early next year,” said Mark Mason, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “The pricing of the loan sale reflects the current interest rate environment and that the loans being sold are primarily lower yielding loans with longer duration than the overall portfolio. The proceeds from the loan sale will be used to pay down FHLB advances and brokered deposits which carry substantially higher interest rates than our core deposits."

In addition, all statements in this release that address and/or include beliefs, assumptions, estimates, projections and expectations of our future performance and financial condition are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond management’s control. Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s expectations at the time such statements are made and speak only as of the date made. The Company does not
assume any obligation or undertake to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this release as a result of new information, future events or developments, except as required by federal securities or other applicable laws, although the Company may do so from time to time. For all forward-looking statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act.
We caution readers that actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the Company’s forward-looking statements. Rather, more important factors could affect the Company’s future results, including but not limited to the following: (1) our ability to close and consummate the reported loan sale transaction of approximately $990 million; (2) our ability to service the sold loans; (3) our ability to pay off more expensive debt that we hold; (4) changes in the U.S. and global economies, including business disruptions, reductions in employment, inflationary pressures and an increase in business failures, specifically among our customers; (5) changes in the interest rate environment; (6) changes in deposit flows, loan demand or real estate values may adversely affect the business of our primary subsidiary, HomeStreet Bank (the “Bank”), through which substantially all of our operations are carried out; (7) there may be increases in competitive pressure among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions; (8) our ability to attract and retain key members of our senior management team; (9) the timing and occurrence or non-occurrence of events may be subject to circumstances beyond our control; (10) our ability to control operating costs and expenses; (11) our credit quality and the effect of credit quality on our credit losses expense and allowance for credit losses; (12) the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses; (13) changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines may cause our financial condition to be perceived or interpreted differently; (14) legislative or regulatory changes that may adversely affect our business or financial condition, including, without limitation, changes in corporate and/or individual income tax laws and policies, changes in privacy laws, and changes in regulatory capital or other rules, and the availability of resources to address or respond to such changes; (15) general economic conditions, either nationally or locally in some or all areas in which we conduct business, or conditions in the securities markets or banking industry, may be less favorable than what we currently anticipate; (16) challenges our customers may face in meeting current underwriting standards may adversely impact all or a substantial portion of the value of our rate-lock loan activity we recognize; (17) technological changes may be more difficult or expensive than what we anticipate; (18) a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or information technology infrastructure, or those of our third-party providers and vendors, including due to cyber-attacks; (19) success or consummation of new business initiatives may be more difficult or expensive than what we anticipate; (20) our ability to grow efficiently both organically and through acquisitions and to manage our growth costs; (21) staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our work force and potential associated charges; (22) litigation, investigations or other matters before regulatory agencies, whether currently existing or commencing in the future, may delay the occurrence or non-occurrence of events longer than what we anticipate; and (23) our ability to obtain regulatory approvals or non-objection to take various capital actions, including the payment of dividends by us or the Bank, or repurchases of our common stock. A discussion of the factors, risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results, business goals and operational and financial objectives cited in this release, other releases, public statements and/or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is also contained in the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company's Forms 10-K and 10-Q and in our Current Reports on Form 8-K we file with the SEC.

All future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to above. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and factors that the Company currently deems immaterial may become material, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these events or how they may affect the Company.
