COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation — Rithm Capital is or may become, from time to time, involved in various disputes, litigation and regulatory inquiry and investigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Given the inherent unpredictability of these types of proceedings, it is possible that future adverse outcomes could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations. Rithm Capital is not aware of any unasserted claims that it believes are material and probable of assertion where the risk of loss is expected to be reasonably possible. Rithm Capital is, from time to time, subject to inquiries by government entities. Rithm Capital currently does not believe any of these inquiries would result in a material adverse effect on Rithm Capital’s business. In 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Sculptor, litigation was filed against Sculptor alleging, among other things, that Sculptor’s board of directors (the “Sculptor Board”) and the special committee of the Sculptor Board violated their fiduciary duties, and sought, among other things, to enjoin the transaction with Rithm Capital. An agreement was reached in principle by the parties to settle all claims of the litigation. The parties executed and filed the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release in connection with the settlement, which was approved at a final hearing in May 2024. Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, Rithm Capital and its subsidiaries enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Rithm Capital’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against Rithm Capital that have not yet occurred. However, based on its experience, Rithm Capital expects the risk of material loss to be remote. Capital Commitments — As of June 30, 2024, Rithm Capital had outstanding capital commitments related to investments in the following investment types (also refer to Note 5 for MSR investment commitments and to Note 27 for additional capital commitments entered into subsequent to June 30, 2024, if any): •MSRs and Servicer Advance Investments — Rithm Capital and, in some cases, third-party co-investors agreed to purchase future servicer advances related to certain Non-Agency residential mortgage loans. In addition, Rithm Capital’s subsidiaries, NRM and Newrez, are generally obligated to fund future servicer advances related to the loans they are obligated to service. The actual amount of future advances purchased will be based on (i) the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans, (ii) the amount of advances recoverable prior to liquidation of the related collateral and (iii) the percentage of the loans with respect to which no additional advance obligations are made. The actual amount of future advances is subject to significant uncertainty. Refer to Notes 5 and 14 for discussion on Rithm Capital’s MSRs and servicer advance investments, respectively. •Mortgage Origination Reserves — Newrez currently originates, or has in the past originated, conventional, government-insured and nonconforming residential mortgage loans for sale and securitization.

In connection with the transfer of loans to the GSEs or mortgage investors, the Newrez makes representations and warranties regarding certain attributes of the loans and, subsequent to the sale, if it is determined that a sold loan is in breach of these representations and warranties, Newrez generally has an obligation to cure the breach. If Newrez is unable to cure the breach, the purchaser may require Newrez to repurchase the loan. In addition, as issuers of Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations, Newrez holds the right to repurchase loans that are at least 90 days’ delinquent from the securitizations at their discretion.

While Newrez is not obligated to repurchase the delinquent loans, Newrez generally exercises its respective option to repurchase loans that will result in an economic benefit.
