ITEM 1.01    ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On July 18, 2013, M/I Homes, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new three-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and eight other lenders. The Credit Facility provides for an aggregate commitment amount of $200 million, including a $100 million sub-facility for letters of credit. In addition, the Credit Facility has an accordion feature under which the Company may increase the aggregate commitment amount of the Credit Facility up to $225 million in the aggregate, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining additional commitments from existing or new lenders. The Credit Facility matures on July 18, 2016. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2.25% or at the Eurodollar Rate plus 3.25%. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are unsecured and availability is subject to, among other things, a borrowing base.

The Company's obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company's subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”), with the exception of subsidiaries that are primarily engaged in the business of mortgage financing, title insurance or similar financial businesses relating to the homebuilding and home sales business, certain subsidiaries that are not 100%-owned by the Company or another subsidiary and other subsidiaries designated by the Company as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, subject to limitations on the aggregate amount invested in such Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Guarantors as of July 18, 2013 are the same subsidiaries that guaranteed the Company's obligations under the Prior Credit Facility (as defined below).

The Credit Facility contains various representations, warranties and covenants that the Company considers customary for such facilities. The financial covenants contained in the Credit Facility include a minimum consolidated tangible net worth requirement, a minimum interest coverage ratio or liquidity requirement, and a maximum leverage ratio.

The Credit Facility also contains customary events of default, including: nonpayment of principal, interest and fees; defaults in the performance of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; material defaults on other agreements; and bankruptcy and other insolvency events.

Certain of the lenders party to the Credit Facility are letter of credit issuers under the Company's three separate secured letter of credit facilities or are lenders under M/I Financial Corp.'s mortgage warehousing agreement. In addition, certain of the lenders party to the Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates have in the past performed commercial banking, investment banking, underwriting and/or advisory services for the Company from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses, and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the Company for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

The Credit Facility replaces the Company's $140 million secured revolving credit facility, dated June 9, 2010, among the Company, as borrower, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto, that was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2014 (as amended, the “Prior Credit Facility”). The Company had no borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility at the time it was replaced, and all letters of credit issued and outstanding under the Prior Credit Facility became part of the letter of credit sub-facility under the Credit Facility. The Company incurred no prepayment penalties in connection with the termination and replacement of the Prior Credit Facility.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Facility, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are as defined in the Credit Facility.
The Company also issued a press release on July 19, 2013 to announce its entry into the Credit Facility. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
