Exhibit 99.1

New Residential Investment Corp. Completes Previously Announced Acquisition of Genesis Capital LLC

The Genesis acquisition further reinforces New Residential’s position as a leading and diverse investment company

NEW YORK – (BUSINESS WIRE) – New Residential Investment Corp. (NYSE: NRZ; “New Residential” or the “Company”) announced today that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Genesis Capital LLC (“Genesis”), a leading business purpose lender, along with a related portfolio of loans, from affiliates of the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Goldman Sachs”). The transaction was initially announced on October 11, 2021.

“The closing of the Genesis acquisition adds another complementary operating company to New Residential’s portfolio of investments,” said Michael Nierenberg, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of New Residential. “We expect that Genesis’s ability to manufacture high-quality loans to the real estate industry will help enable New Residential to generate more earnings for our shareholders. Genesis’s proven management team, powerful technology and data-driven operations are value-additive for New Residential and will create synergies for our growing single-family rental platform. We are excited about our combined future and the opportunities we will create together.”

Genesis is expected to originate approximately $2 billion of loans in 2021 and has originated over 12,000 loans since 2014.

“Having worked closely with the New Residential team over the last few months to close the transaction, we are eager to join the family,” said Robert Wasmund, Chief Executive Officer of Genesis. “We believe our newfound partnership will help enable Genesis to thrive in a U.S. housing market with decreasing supply and increasing demand, particularly in the build-to-rent space. We look forward to expanding our product set, entering new markets, and leveraging the deep financial services and risk management expertise of New Residential to drive continued excellence across the company.”

New Residential financed the acquisition with existing cash and committed asset-based financing from Goldman Sachs.

Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP acted as legal advisor to New Residential. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP acted as legal advisor to Genesis.
