What happened
loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI) said loanDepot.com, LLC signed a Master Repurchase Agreement dated October 2, 2026 with Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC.
The agreement provides for aggregate uncommitted financing of up to $125 million.
It also says loanDepot Multi Asset NC, LLC is the REO subsidiary named in the agreement, and loanDepot.com, LLC owned 100% of its direct equity interests as of the closing date.
The agreement says Nomura would buy the REO Subsidiary Interests on the first Purchase Date after the Section 3(c) conditions are met.
After that, loanDepot.com, LLC may ask for a higher purchase price if it transfers more Contributed REO Property to the REO subsidiary.
The seller may also request a release of Purchased Assets and Contributed REO Property in connection with an Optional Repurchase.
The filing says the agreement is not a commitment by Nomura to enter the transactions.

Why it matters
OptimistFi's case is that loanDepot needs flexible funding while it tries to turn a housing and refi recovery into profit.
This filing shows a possible financing route tied to mortgage assets and REO property, not a completed capital raise.
The cap is $125 million, so investors can size the possible support without assuming more.
The structure matters because the agreement is tied to asset transfers and a later optional repurchase, not a straight cash infusion.
The key caveat is that the facility is explicitly uncommitted, so Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC is not required to fund any transaction.
That makes the filing useful for judging liquidity flexibility, but only funded transactions will show that the facility is being used.

What's next
The first Purchase Date comes only after the Section 3(c) conditions are satisfied.
If that happens, Nomura would buy the REO Subsidiary Interests, and later transactions could add more Contributed REO Property.
A funded purchase would strengthen the liquidity case, while no funding would leave the filing as a contingent source only.
