Item 1.01.     Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 27, 2018, NMI Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters 3,700,000 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), with an initial public offering price of $19.75 per share, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement also grants the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 555,000 shares of Common Stock, which was exercised in full on February 28, 2018. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, will be approximately $79.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, making capital contributions to support the growth of its subsidiaries.
The Company has made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Underwriting Agreement. The Company also has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
