Item 8.01.			Other Events.

On January 6, 2021, Realogy Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Realogy Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Company’s indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary (“Realogy Group”), Realogy Co-Issuer Corp., a Florida corporation and the Company’s indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Co-Issuer” and, together with Realogy Group, the “Issuers”), and the subsidiary guarantors named therein entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the several initial purchasers named in Schedule A thereto, relating to the sale by the Issuers of $600 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 5.750% senior notes due 2029 at par (the “Notes”). The size of the offering has been upsized from $400 million to $600 million.

The Notes will be issued in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes will be guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each of Realogy Group’s domestic subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuer of the Notes) that is a guarantor under its senior secured credit facilities and certain of its outstanding securities. The Notes will also be guaranteed by the Company on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of Realogy Group’s existing and future senior secured debt, including its senior secured credit facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. Subject to customary closing conditions, the sale of the Notes is expected to close on or about January 11, 2021.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Issuers and the guarantors. In addition, the Issuers and the guarantors have agreed to indemnify the initial purchasers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the initial purchasers may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. Furthermore, the Issuers and the guarantors have agreed with the initial purchasers not to offer or sell any similar debt securities for a period of 60 days after the closing date without the prior written consent of the representative of the initial purchasers.

The Company currently intends to use approximately $250 million of the net proceeds from this offering to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its term loan A credit facility and apply the remaining net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under its term loan B credit facility. The allocation of the net proceeds from the offering is subject to change, and the Company may elect to change the allocation of such proceeds between the term loan A and B credit facilities and/or apply all or a portion of such proceeds to repay other indebtedness.
