Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 24, 2014, HomeStreet Bank, the wholly owned and principal operating subsidiary of HomeStreet, Inc. (“HomeStreet”) entered into an amendment to an office space lease with Union Square Limited Liability Company for HomeStreet’s headquarters at Two Union Square, 601 Union St, Seattle Washington 98101 (the “Lease Amendment”). Pursuant to the Lease Amendment, HomeStreet’s office space under the lease will decrease from 145,150 rentable square feet to 141,784 rentable square feet as of January 1, 2015, and the term of the lease will be extended from December 31, 2017 to December 31, 2027. The base rent payments associated with the amended lease over the remaining 13 years of the term, beginning January 1, 2015, are estimated to be $64.75 million in the aggregate. In addition, following the execution of the Lease Amendment, HomeStreet has a remaining tenant improvement allowance of $128,661.51 carried over from previous lease amendments and allows for, subject to conditions set forth in the Lease Amendment, an additional $7.329 million in new tenant improvement allowances.

The Lease Amendment also grants HomeStreet bank tenant exclusivity, a right of first offer and first refusal for new space, signage rights and ATM placement rights at Two Union Square. HomeStreet also has the option to extend the term of the lease for and additional five year term with a minimum 1 year advance notice prior to the expiration of the Term.

A copy of the Lease Amendment will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.
