Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
At the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), held May 28, 2014, the stockholders of New Residential Investment Corp. (the “Company”) voted on the matters described below.
| 1. | The Company’s stockholders elected two Class I directors, who comprise all the directors of such class, to serve until the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are elected and duly qualified. The numbers of shares that voted for the election of such directors, withheld authority to vote for such directors, and represented broker non-votes with respect to this proposal are summarized in the table below. |

| * | Broker non-votes are instances where a broker holding shares of record for a beneficial owner does not vote the shares because it has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and therefore is precluded by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) from voting on a particular matter. Under NYSE rules, when a broker holding shares in “street name” does not receive voting instructions from a beneficial owner, the broker has discretionary authority to vote on certain routine matters but is prohibited from voting on non-routine matters. Brokers who did not receive instructions were not entitled to vote on the election of directors, but they were entitled to vote on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. |
| 2. | The Company’s stockholders ratified the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014. The numbers of shares that voted for, against and abstained from voting for or against the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP are summarized in the table below. |
