Amendment to Wachovia Master Repurchase Agreement
As previously disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K filed on April 5, 2007 (the “Original 8-K”), on March 30, 2007, Accredited Mortgage Loan REIT Trust (the “Company”), an indirect subsidiary of Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co. (the “Parent”) and Accredited Home Lenders, Inc. (“AHL”), entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Wachovia Master Repurchase Agreement”) with Wachovia Bank, N.A. (“Wachovia”) and the Parent guaranteed AHL’s and the Company’s obligations under the Wachovia Master Repurchase Agreement pursuant to a Guaranty. The Wachovia Master Repurchase Agreement set forth the terms for a repurchase facility under which AHL and the Company may sell and Wachovia must purchase certain mortgage loans, all as further described in the Original 8-K.
On May 1, 2007, AHL and the Company entered into an Amendment 2007-1 to the Wachovia Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the maximum amount under the Wachovia facility has been increased from $500 million to $750 million, of which the entire $750 million is committed at the date of the Amendment.
The Amendment, to the extent required by the federal securities laws and regulations, will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s next periodic report.
