Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On November 3, 2022, Ocwen Financial Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries including PHH Mortgage Corporation, “Ocwen” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and providing a business update, including the information described under Item 8.01, Other Events, below. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information in this Item 2.02 and the information in the related exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On November 2, 2022, Ocwen and OCW MAV Holdings, LLC (“OMH”), a special purpose entity managed by Oaktree Capital Management L.P., entered into an agreement modifying certain terms relating to the capitalization, management and operations of their mortgage servicing rights joint venture, MAV Canopy HoldCo I, LLC (“Canopy”), a Delaware limited liability company, and its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, MSR Asset Vehicle LLC, a California limited liability company. OMH and Ocwen own 85% and 15%, respectively, of the limited liability company interests in Canopy.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Ocwen and OMH agreed to increase the aggregate capital contributions to Canopy by up to an additional $250 million during an investment period ending May 2, 2024, subject to two annual extensions upon mutual agreement. Ocwen may elect to contribute up to its pro rata share of the additional capital commitment. To the extent Ocwen does not contribute its pro rata share of the additional capital commitment, the ownership percentages held by Ocwen and OMH will be adjusted based on the parties’ current percentage interests, capital contributions, and book value. In connection with the increased investment, Ocwen and OMH agreed to reduce Ocwen’s incentive fee, which the parties refer to as the “promote distribution.”
