Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously reported, Walter Investment Management Corp. (the “Company” or “Walter”) entered into a Joint Bidding Agreement (“JBA”) dated October 19, 2012 with Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC (“Ocwen”) to jointly bid to acquire the mortgage servicing and originations and capital markets platforms (the “ResCap Assets”) of Residential Capital LLC (“ResCap”) in an auction sponsored by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court (the “Transaction”). Pursuant to the JBA, Walter agreed to acquire the rights and assume certain liabilities relating to all of ResCap’s Fannie Mae mortgage servicing rights and related advances, and ResCap’s mortgage originations and capital markets platforms (the “Walter Assets”). The remainder of the ResCap Assets and certain liabilities related thereto are to be acquired by Ocwen.

On October 24, 2012, Walter and Ocwen were determined at an auction sponsored by the US Bankruptcy Court to have submitted the highest and best bid to acquire the ResCap Assets. Walter and Ocwen presented a winning bid of $3 billion, with Walter’s portion of the bid for the Walter Assets equal to approximately $540 million. The bid was subject to the negotiation of a mutually acceptable Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) and the approval of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Ocwen and Walter jointly made an earnest money cash deposit of $72 million ($15 million of which was paid by Walter), which will be applied towards the purchase price upon closing of the Transaction.

On November 2, 2012, Ocwen entered into a definitive APA with Residential Capital, LLC, Residential Funding Company, LLC, GMAC Mortgage, LLC, Executive Trustee Services, LLC, ETS of Washington, Inc., EPRE LLC and the additional Sellers identified on Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Sellers”). Consummation of the Transaction is subject to, among other things, (i) approval of the transaction by the Bankruptcy Court, (ii) certain licensing and regulatory approvals, including expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and (iii) certain customary closing conditions and termination rights. Subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and all of the conditions to closing, the Transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013.

The APA contains specified termination rights for the parties. Among other circumstances, the APA may be terminated by either Ocwen or the Sellers if the closing has not occurred by March 31, 2012. Each party has the right to require the other party’s specific performance to close the Transaction (provided all closing conditions are satisfied).

The foregoing summary of the APA is qualified in its entirety by reference to the APA which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The APA has been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other financial information about Walter, Ocwen, the Sellers or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the APA were made only for purposes of that agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the APA; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the APA instead of establishing these matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Walter, Ocwen or the Sellers or any of their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by Walter.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K (including information included or incorporated by reference herein) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the proposed Transaction, including future financial and operating results, the Registrant’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the parties and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Risks and uncertainties include: the failure of the Bankruptcy Court to approve the Transaction; uncertainties as to the purchase price to be paid at closing; the timing of the closing of the Transaction; the possibility that the Transaction may not close, including, but not limited to, due to the failure to satisfy the closing conditions; the effects of disruption from the Transaction making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; as well as the risk of new and changing regulation and policies in the U.S. and internationally and the exposure to litigation and/or regulatory actions. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements can be found in the Registrant’s public disclosure filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Registrant disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of developments occurring after the period covered by this report or otherwise. Copies of the Registrant’s SEC filings are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
