This Amendment No. 4 ("Amendment No. 4") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 19, 2013 (the "Original Schedule 13D"), Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on October 10, 2013 ("Amendment No. 1"), Amendment No. 2 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on January 9, 2014 ("Amendment No .2") and Amendment No. 3 to the Original Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2014 ("Amendment No. 3" and together with the Original Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 and this Amendment No. 4, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock") of PHH Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 4 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 4 amends Items 3, 5 and 6 as set forth below. This Amendment No. 4 constitutes an “exit filing” with respect to the Reporting Persons.

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
   
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
 

The Reporting Persons used approximately $27.1 million (including brokerage commissions) in the aggregate to purchase the shares of Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D.

 

The source of the funds used to acquire the Common Stock reported herein is the working capital of Orange Fund. The shares of Common Stock reported herein are held in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Persons from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Common Stock reported herein.

Item 5. INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
 
Paragraphs (a) – (c) and (e) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

 

(a) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 1,648,292 shares of Common Stock (including options to purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock), constituting approximately 2.9% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, based upon the 57,383,756 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 29, 2014, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on May 8, 2014.

 

Orange Capital and Mr. Lewis may each be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,648,292 shares of Common Stock (including options to purchase 400,000 shares of Common Stock), or approximately 2.9% of the outstanding Common Stock, which shares are directly held by Orange Fund.

 

(b) Orange Capital has shared voting power and shared dispositive power over the shares held by Orange Fund, by virtue of Orange Capital's role as the investment advisor to Orange Fund, and accordingly Orange Capital may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such shares. Mr. Lewis has shared voting power and shared dispositive power over the shares held by Orange Fund, by virtue of his role as Managing Member of Orange Capital, and accordingly Mr. Lewis may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of such shares.

 

(c) Appendix A hereto (which is incorporated by reference in this Item 5 as if restated in full herein) sets forth all transactions with respect to the Common Stock effected since Amendment No. 3 by the Reporting Persons.

 

(e) July 8, 2014.

 

Item 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER  
     

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The Reporting Persons are parties to an agreement with respect to the joint filing of the Schedule 13D (the "Joint Filing Agreement"). A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1 to the Original Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The Reporting Persons hold call options covering 400,000 shares of Common Stock with a strike price of $25.00, which expire on August 16, 2014. The Reporting Persons have sold (i) put options covering 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock with strike prices ranging from $20.00 to $25.00 and expiration dates ranging from August 16, 2014 to November 22, 2014 and (ii) call options covering 700,000 shares of Common Stock with a strike price of $25.00, which expire on November 22, 2014.

 

Other than the Joint Filing Agreement and the options described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Reporting Persons have no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with any persons with respect to securities of the Issuer.
