Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On August 21, 2026, loanDepot, Inc. (the "Company") received a written notice (the "Notice") from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual ("Section 802.01C"), because the average closing price of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "Common Stock"), was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's Common Stock on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s compliance with the NYSE’s other continued listing requirements. The Notice does not affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pursuant to Section 802.01C, the Company has a period of six months following the receipt of the Notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The Company may regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the six-month cure period, the Common Stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. If the Company is unable to regain compliance with the $1.00 share price rule within this period, the NYSE will initiate procedures to suspend and delist the Common Stock. However, if the Company determines that it will cure the price condition by taking an action that will require shareholder approval, the Company must so inform the NYSE and must obtain shareholder approval no later than its next annual meeting of stockholders, and must implement the action promptly thereafter.

Section 802.01C requires the Company to notify the NYSE, within 10 business days of receipt of the Notice, of its intent to cure this deficiency. The Company intends to notify the NYSE of its intent to regain compliance with the requirements of Section 802.01C within such time period.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On August 21, 2026, the Company issued a press release (the “NYSE Compliance Press Release”) related to the foregoing. A copy of the NYSE Compliance Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference to this Item 7.01.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is not to be incorporated by reference into any filing by Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language contained in such filing, unless otherwise expressly stated in such filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements that include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the Company’s ability to maintain the listing of its Common Stock on the NYSE, its intentions regarding regaining compliance with the minimum price condition of NYSE and the Company’s intended methods to cure such related deficiency as well as the Company’s anticipated business and financial performance. These forward-looking statements are based on current available operating, financial, economic and other information, and are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including but not limited to, the following: our ability to regain compliance with the minimum price condition of NYSE and cure such related deficiency; our ability to maintain listing on the NYSE; our ability to achieve the expected benefits of our strategic plans and priorities and the success of other business initiatives; our ability to achieve profitability; our ability to maintain an operating platform and management system sufficient to conduct our business; our ability to maintain warehouse lines of credit and other sources of capital and liquidity; adverse changes in macroeconomic and U.S. residential real estate and mortgage market conditions, including changes in interest rates, changes in global trade policy and tariffs, and geopolitical tensions and conflicts; our ability to address, repay and/or refinance our senior notes; and other risks detailed in the "Risk Factors" section of loanDepot, Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as any subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

loanDepot, Inc. Addresses Notice of NYSE Trading Price Non-Compliance

•No immediate impact on listing of loanDepot’s Class A common stock or business operations

•Company intends to cure the deficiency and return to compliance with the NYSE listing standard

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI) (together with its subsidiaries, “loanDepot”) today announced that on August 21, it received a deficiency letter from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notifying loanDepot that it is not in compliance with applicable price criteria in the NYSE’s continued listing standards.

“As we continue to execute our transformation agenda to position loanDepot for profitable market share growth, we are making significant progress. In the last quarter, unit volume grew by 25%, revenue grew by 18%, and purchase market share grew by 33%. We executed a successful and strategic expansion into home equity lending, at scale, and re-entered the wholesale market,” said loanDepot Founder and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Hsieh. “We are making more loans, making them faster, and producing them at a lower cost. By continuously leveraging our unique assets, including one of the most differentiated customer acquisition and retention business models in the marketplace today, and by prudently and actively managing our capital and debt obligations, we believe we can create sustainable stockholder value. As we do that, we expect our stock price to reflect our success.”

This notice has no immediate impact on the ability of loanDepot’s Class A common stock to continue to trade on the NYSE during the cure period. Furthermore, there is no immediate impact on the ongoing business operations of loanDepot or its reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notice was received because as of August 20, 2026, the average closing price of loanDepot’s Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period (the “Notice”).

loanDepot will respond to the NYSE within ten business days of receipt of the notice of its intent to cure the deficiency. Pursuant to the applicable NYSE rules, loanDepot has a six-month period following receipt of the Notice to bring its share price and average share price back above $1.00. LoanDepot will consider available alternatives to cure the stock price non-compliance, including, if necessary, a reverse stock split that would be subject to stockholder approval no later than at loanDepot’s next annual meeting of stockholders anticipated for early June 2027.
