Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 10, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Quicken Loans, LLC (the “Company”), a Michigan limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Rocket Companies, Inc., as borrower, entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the other parties party thereto, with an initial aggregate commitment of $950 million, maturing on August 10, 2023.

Proceeds of the borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are unsecured and will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to adjusted LIBOR for the interest period, plus an applicable margin of between 1.50% and 2.00% (determined based on the Company’s credit rating) or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal as the US prime rate and (iii) the one-month adjusted LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus an applicable margin of between 0.50% and 1.00% (determined based on the Company’s credit rating). In addition, the Credit Agreement requires the Borrower to pay a commitment fee between 0.20% and 0.40% (determined based on the Company’s corporate credit rating) in respect of the unused commitments under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement contains certain customary events of default, including in the event of a change of control, and certain covenants and restrictions that limit the Borrower’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional debt; create liens on certain assets; pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments; consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets; and enter into certain transactions with their affiliates.

The Company is also subject to certain financial maintenance covenants under the Credit Agreement, which require the Company and its subsidiaries to not exceed specified net leverage and corporate net debt ratios at the end of each fiscal quarter, and to maintain minimum liquidity and tangible net worth.

If the Company fails to perform its obligations under these and other covenants, or should any event of default occur, the revolving loan commitments under the Credit Agreement may be terminated and any outstanding borrowings, together with accrued interest, under the Credit Agreement could be declared immediately due and payable.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Rocket Companies, Inc.

Item 1.02
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Company, in its sole discretion, repaid in full the outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2013, among the Company, as borrower, and Fifth Third Bank, as lender (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Fifth Third Agreement”) and terminated the Fifth Third Agreement. No early termination penalties or prepayment premium were incurred by the Company in connection with the termination of the Fifth Third Agreement. A portion of the amounts previously committed under the Fifth Third Agreement are now committed under the Credit Agreement.
Item 2.03
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
The information contained under Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated in this Item 2.03 by reference.
