Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the statutes referred to below, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant and the Amended and Restated Regulations of the Registrant.

Under Section 1701.13(E) of the Ohio General Corporation Law (the “OGCL”), directors, officers, employees and agents of an Ohio corporation have an absolute right to indemnification for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by them in any action, suit or proceeding brought against them to the extent they are successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of such action, suit or proceeding (including an action by or in the right of the corporation), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter asserted therein.

Section 1701.13(E) permits a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents or individuals who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another corporation or entity in circumstances where indemnification is not mandated by the statute if certain statutory standards are satisfied. Under Section 1701.13(E), a corporation may grant indemnification in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, investigative or administrative (other than an action brought by or in the right of the corporation), if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such indemnification is permitted against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) as well as judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee in connection with the action, suit or proceeding.

A corporation may also provide indemnification pursuant to Section 1701.13(E) in an action brought by or in the right of the corporation for expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any threatened, pending or completed action or suit if the officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that a corporation is not authorized to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent in any such action if such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person’s duties to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that a court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification. In addition, Section 1701.13(E) does not authorize a corporation to indemnify a director in an action brought by or in the right of the corporation in which the only liability asserted against the director is for approving unlawful loans, dividends or distributions under Section 1701.95 of the OGCL.

Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL permits a corporation to pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent as they are incurred, in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, as authorized by the corporation’s directors and upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

 

II-2


Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL states that the indemnification provided thereby is not exclusive of, and is in addition to, any other rights granted to persons seeking indemnification under a corporation’s articles or regulations, any agreement, a vote of the corporation’s shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. In addition, Section 1701.13(E) of the OGCL grants express power to a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection, including trust funds, letters of credit and self-insurance, for director, officer, employee or agent liability, regardless of whether that individual is otherwise eligible for indemnification by the corporation.

The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) provide that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, indemnify each director and officer against any and all costs and expenses (including attorney fees, judgments, fines, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, and other disbursements) actually and reasonably incurred by or imposed upon such person in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding (or any claim or other matter therein), whether civil, criminal, administrative or otherwise in nature, including any settlements or appeals thereof, with respect to which such person is named or otherwise becomes or is threatened to be made a party by reason of being or at any time having been a director or officer of the Registrant, or by any reason of being or at any time having been, while such a director or officer, an employee or other agent of the Registrant or, at the direction or request of the Registrant, a director, trustee, officer, administrator, manager, employee, adviser or other agent of or fiduciary for any other corporation, partnership, trust, venture or other entity or enterprise (including any employee benefit plan). The Articles further provide that (i) the Registrant shall indemnify any other person to the extent such person is entitled to indemnification under Ohio law by reason of being successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action to which such person is named a party by reason of being an employee or other agent of the Registrant and (ii) the Registrant may further indemnify any such person if it is determined by the board of directors of the Registrant that indemnification is proper in the specific case. The Articles state that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Articles, no person shall be indemnified by the Registrant to the extent it is determined by the board of directors or by written opinion of legal counsel designated by the board of directors for such purpose that indemnification is contrary to applicable law.

Under the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Regulations (the “Regulations”), the Registrant shall indemnify any officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including any derivative action), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees, filing fees, court reporters’ fees and transcript costs), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. A person claiming such indemnification shall be presumed, in respect of any act or omission giving rise to such claim for indemnification, to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. The Regulations state that any such indemnification, unless ordered by a court, shall be made only upon a determination that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct, and such determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors, (ii) in a written opinion by qualified independent legal counsel or (iii) by the shareholders.

 

II-3


The Regulations provide that, to the extent that an officer or director has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, such person shall be promptly indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees, filing fees, court reporters’ fees and transcript costs) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. The Regulations further provide that expenses (including attorneys’ fees, filing fees, court reporters’ fees and transcript costs) incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding to or on behalf of the officer or director promptly as such expenses are incurred by such person if (i) in respect of any claim (except one in which the only liability asserted against a director is for approving unlawful loans, dividends or distribution of assets under Section 1701.95 of the OGCL), the Registrant receives an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, in which such person agrees to repay all such amounts if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in a court of competent jurisdiction that such person’s action or failure to act involved an act or omission undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the Registrant or with reckless disregard for the best interests of the Registrant, and such person agrees to cooperate reasonably with the Registrant concerning the action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) the Registrant receives an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer in which such person agrees to repay all such amounts if it ultimately is determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified.

The Regulations state that the indemnification provided thereby is not exclusive of, and is in addition to, any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, the Regulations provide that the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance or furnish similar protection, including but not limited to trust funds, letters of credit, or self-insurance, on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant, or is or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, trustee, officer, employee, member, manager or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the obligation or the power to indemnify such person under the Regulations.

Director and Officer Insurance Maintained by the Registrant

The Registrant maintains insurance policies under which directors and officers of the Registrant and directors, officers, members and managers of, and certain persons holding equivalent positions with, its subsidiaries are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of such policies, against expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or proceedings, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of such actions, suits or proceedings, to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers of the Registrant or directors, officers, members or managers (or other equivalent positions), as applicable, of its subsidiaries.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

See the Index to Exhibits attached hereto and beginning on page II-6.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

A.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (l)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

II-4


  (ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

  (2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

B.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

C.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 of this Part II, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

May 13, 2022

Board of Directors

M/I Homes, Inc.

4131 Worth Avenue

Suite 500

Columbus, Ohio 43219

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to M/I Homes, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on the date hereof in order to register 2,000,000 common shares, $0.01 par value (the “Common Shares”), under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”), for issuance and delivery pursuant to awards to be granted under the M/I Homes, Inc. 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).

In connection with rendering this opinion, we have examined, to the extent deemed necessary, originals or copies of: (a) the Registration Statement; (b) the Plan; (c) the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as currently in effect (the “Articles”); (d) the Company’s Amended and Restated Regulations, as currently in effect (the “Regulations”); and (e) certain corporate records of the Company, including resolutions adopted by the directors of the Company and by the shareholders of the Company. We have also relied upon such oral or written statements and representations of the officers of the Company and examined such certificates of public officials and authorities of law as we have deemed relevant as a basis for this opinion.

In our examination of the aforesaid records, documents and certificates, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the authenticity of all records, documents and certificates examined by us, the correctness of the information contained in all records, documents and certificates examined by us, the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals who have executed any of the aforesaid documents and certificates, the authority of all individuals entering and maintaining records, and the conformity to authentic originals of all items submitted to us as copies (whether certified, conformed, photostatic or by other electronic means) of records, documents or certificates. In rendering the opinion below, we have further assumed that each award under the Plan will be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (or a duly authorized committee thereof).

We have relied solely upon the examinations and inquiries recited herein, and, except for the examinations and inquiries recited herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of any facts, and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn.


Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth herein, as of the date hereof, we are of the opinion that the 2,000,000 Common Shares to be registered under the Act for issuance and delivery under the Plan, when issued, delivered and paid for, as appropriate, in accordance with, and for the consideration, if any, prescribed in, the Plan and in any award agreements entered into by participants in the Plan with the Company as contemplated by the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Members of our firm are admitted to the Bar in the State of Ohio and we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Ohio, including the applicable provisions of the Ohio Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting those laws, and of the United States of America.

This opinion is based upon the laws and legal interpretations in effect, and the facts and circumstances existing, on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion should any such law or legal interpretation be changed by legislative action, judicial interpretation or otherwise or should there be any change in such facts or circumstances.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to us therein. By giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations.

Except in connection with the Registration Statement as aforesaid, no portion of this opinion may be quoted or otherwise used by any person without our prior written consent.

 

Sincerely,
/s/ Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease LLP

(a) The Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, shall have the power and the right to deduct, withhold or collect any amount required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising with respect to an Award granted under the Plan. This amount may, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, be (i) withheld from other amounts due to the Participant, (ii) withheld from the value of any Award being settled or any Shares being transferred in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award or (iii) collected directly from the Participant.


(b) Subject to the approval of the Committee, a Participant may elect to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company or an Affiliate, as applicable, withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined equal to the statutory total tax that could be imposed on the transaction; provided that such Shares would otherwise be distributable to the Participant at the time of the withholding. All such elections shall be irrevocable and made in writing and shall be subject to any terms and conditions that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

15.3 Election Under Section 83(b) of the Code. In any case in which a Participant is permitted to make an election under Section 83(b) of the Code in connection with an Award, the Participant shall notify the Company of such election within ten (10) days of filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental authority, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to Treasury Regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code or other applicable provision.

15.4 Requirements of Law. The Plan, the grant and exercise of Awards thereunder and the issuance of Shares under such Awards shall be subject to all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations (including all applicable federal and state securities laws) and to all required approvals of any governmental agencies or stock exchange, market or quotation system on which the Shares are then listed or traded. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to issue Shares under the Plan prior to (a) receipt of any approvals from any governmental agencies or stock exchange, market or quotation system on which the Shares are then listed or traded that the Committee deems necessary and (b) completion of registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable federal, state or local law or ruling of any governmental agency that the Committee deems necessary.

15.5 Legends. Certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan may be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions that the Committee deems advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange, market or quotation system upon which the Shares are then listed or traded or any other applicable federal, state or local law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any certificates issued under the Plan to make appropriate reference to restrictions within the scope of this Section 15.5.

15.6 Uncertificated Shares. To the extent that the Plan provides for the issuance of certificates to reflect the transfer of Shares, the transfer of Shares may be effected on a uncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange, market or quotation system on which the Shares are then listed or traded.

15.7 Compensation Recovery. This provision applies to any policy adopted by any exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed pursuant to Section 10D of the Act. To the extent any such policy requires the repayment of incentive-based compensation received by a Participant, whether paid pursuant to an Award under the Plan or any other plan of incentive-based compensation maintained in the past or adopted in the future by the Company, by accepting an Award under this Plan, the Participant agrees to the repayment of such amounts to the extent required by such policy or applicable law.

15.8 Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

15.9 No Impact on Benefits. Awards are not compensation for purposes of calculating a Participant’s rights under any employee benefit plan that does not specifically require the inclusion of Awards in calculating benefits.

15.10 Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in a related Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by an Award unless and until the Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares.


15.11 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan, and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down.

15.12 Successors and Assigns. The Plan shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and each Participant, including the estate of such Participant and the executor, administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Participant’s creditors.

15.13 Compliance With Section 409A of the Code. Awards shall be designed, granted and administered in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan that is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. If the Committee determines that an Award, Award Agreement, payment, distribution, deferral election, transaction or any other action or arrangement contemplated by the provisions of the Plan would, if undertaken, cause a Participant to become subject to additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code, then unless the Committee specifically provides otherwise, such Award, Award Agreement, payment, distribution, deferral election, transaction or other action or arrangement shall not be given effect to the extent it causes such result and the related provisions of the Plan and Award Agreement shall be deemed modified, or, if necessary, suspended in order to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code to the extent determined appropriate by the Committee, in each case without the consent of or notice to the Participant. The exercisability of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right shall not be extended to the extent that such extension would subject the Participant to additional taxes under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, if an Award is not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Participant (or, if the Participant is not the original grantee of the applicable Award, the original grantee of the applicable Award) is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) and a payment under the Award is due as a result of such individual’s “separation from service” (as that term is defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code using the default rules), then no payment shall be made under the Award due to such separation from service before the date that is six (6) months after the date on which the Participant incurs such separation from service, except as otherwise allowed by Section 409A of the Code.

15.14 Savings Clause. In the event that any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

ARTICLE XVI

EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

The Effective Date of the Plan is May 8, 2018. No Incentive Stock Options shall be granted under the Plan after February 15, 2028 and no other Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date or, if earlier, the date the Plan is terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Plan shall not preclude the Company from complying with the terms of Awards outstanding on the date the Plan terminates. After the Effective Date, no grants of awards shall be made under the Preexisting Plan.
