***Series 2025-GT1 Indenture Supplement***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On May 28, 2025, loanDepot.com, LLC (the "Company"), an indirect subsidiary of loanDepot, Inc., and the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary loanDepot GMSR Master Trust (the "Issuer") entered into the Series 2025-GT1 Indenture Supplement (the "Series 2025-GT1 Indenture Supplement"), by and among the Issuer, Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee, calculation agent, paying agent and securities intermediary (in all such capacities, the "Indenture Trustee"), the Company, as servicer (the "Servicer") and administrator (the "Administrator"), Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), related to the Third Amended and Restated Base Indenture, dated as of January 25, 2024 (as amended, the "Third Amended and Restated Base Indenture"), by and among the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Administrative Agent, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as credit manager. Pursuant to the Series 2025-GT1 Indenture Supplement, the Issuer issued Series 2025-GT1 term notes (the "Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $200 million. The Notes are mainly secured by a participation certificate representing a participation interest in the portfolio excess spread and, in certain circumstances, other assets of the Issuer, relating to Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing rights owned by the Company. The notes are priced at a variable rate based on SOFR plus a margin per annum and are expected to mature on May 16, 2030, or, if extended pursuant to the terms of the Series 2025-GT1 Indenture Supplement, May 17, 2032. The Notes will be paid on the 16th day of each calendar month, or, if such 16th day is not a business day, the next business day.

The Issuer sold the Notes to the initial purchaser in an offering (the "Offering") which was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes were offered for resale to purchasers reasonably believed by the initial purchaser to be "qualified institutional buyers" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

Proceeds from the Offering, net of fees, were used for redemption in full of the Issuer's Series 2018-GT1 Term Notes that were expected to mature in October 2025.

The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Series 2025-GT1 Indenture Supplement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference, and the full text of the Third Amended and Restated Base Indenture, a copy of which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 10.1.

**Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On May 28, 2025, using the proceeds from the Offering, the Issuer prepaid in full its Series 2018-GT1 Term Notes and terminated its existing Series 2018-GT1 Indenture Supplement, dated October 31, 2018 (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time), among the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Company, and the Administrative Agent. The outstanding principal balance of the prepaid Series 2018-GT1 Term Notes was $200 million, and no termination penalties were incurred.

**Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.**

All information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference.

"<u>Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes</u>" means, in connection with the determination of any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date or the adoption of any Benchmark Replacement, Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, changes to the definition of "Corresponding Tenor" and other administrative matters) that the Designated

------

Transaction Representative, in its sole discretion, decides may be appropriate to reflect such determination or adoption in a manner substantially consistent with the practices adopted with respect to the applicable Benchmark Reference Agreement or market practice (or, if the Designated Transaction Representative decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Designated Transaction Representative determines that no such market practice exists), in such other manner as the Designated Transaction Representative determines is reasonably necessary, in each case as notified to the Indenture Trustee, the Calculation Agent and the Administrative Agent at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the posting of such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes with the Payment Date Report notifying Noteholders of such changes and such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes taking effect, which such changes shall automatically become effective without further action on behalf of any party (upon being provided with such Payment Date Report). The Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will be prepared by the Designated Transaction Representative and delivered to the Indenture Trustee and Calculation Agent for posting with the Payment Date Report.

"<u>Benchmark Replacement Date</u>" means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to then current Benchmark (including the daily published component used in the calculation thereof):

If the Designated Transaction Representative determines that a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Benchmark Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement shall replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes with respect to the Notes in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the event that gives rise to the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Benchmark Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date shall be deemed to have occurred prior to the Benchmark Reference Time for such determination.

"<u>Benchmark Transition Event</u>" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (including the daily published component used in the calculation thereof):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of the Benchmark (or such component) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide the Benchmark (or such component), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark (or such component); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of the Benchmark announcing that the Benchmark is no longer representative.

"<u>Class A Term Notes</u>" means, the Series 2025-GT1 Term Notes, Class A, issued hereunder by the Issuer, or any Term Notes issued in replacement thereof pursuant to <u>Section 5</u> of this Indenture Supplement.
