Corporate Activities

On December 16, 2016, New Residential’s board of directors declared a fourth quarter 2016 dividend of $0.46 per common share or $115.4 million, which was paid on January 31, 2017 to stockholders of record as of December 30, 2016.

On January 26, 2017, New Residential’s board of directors declared a first quarter 2017 dividend of $0.48 per common share, which is payable on April 28, 2017 to stockholders of record as of March 27, 2017.

On January 27, 2017, NRM entered into an agreement to purchase MSRs and related Servicer Advances with respect to approximately $97.0 billion UPB of seasoned Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac residential mortgage loans from CitiMortgage, Inc. (“Citi”), subject to change during the period prior to GSE and other regulatory approvals. NRM also entered into an agreement pursuant to which Nationstar will subservice the portfolio on behalf of NRM, subject to GSE and other regulatory approvals. Citi has agreed to continue to subservice the portfolio on an interim basis. NRM will acquire the related Servicer Advances upon the transfer of servicing. New Residential expects to complete this acquisition in the first quarter of 2017, subject to GSE and other regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

In February 2017, New Residential issued 56.5 million shares of its common stock in a public offering at a price to the public of $15.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $834.6 million. One of New Residential’s executive officers participated in this offering and purchased 18,600 shares at the public offering price. To compensate the Manager for its successful efforts in raising capital for New Residential, in connection with this offering, New Residential granted options to the Manager relating to 5.7 million shares of New Residential’s common stock at the public offering price, which had a fair value of approximately $8.1 million as of the grant date. The assumptions used in valuing the options were: a 2.38% risk-free rate, a 10.82% dividend yield, 28.64% volatility and a 10-year term.

On February 17, 2017, NRM entered into an agreement to obtain up to $300.0 million in financing secured by Agency MSRs. The financing facility has not been drawn upon and will bear interest equal to one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.25%.

Servicer Advances Debt

In February 2017, New Residential, through its wholly owned subsidiary, NRZ Advance Receivables Trust 2015-ON1, issued servicer advance backed notes consisting of $400.0 million of series 2017-T1 term notes with a maturity date of February 2021, and repaid a portion of the existing VFN facilities with the proceeds.
