Based on information currently available, management is not aware of any legal or regulatory claims that would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and, therefore, no accrual is required as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Commitments to Purchase/Sell RMBS As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held forward TBA purchase and sale commitments, respectively, with counterparties, which are forward RMBS trades, whereby the Company committed to purchasing a pool of securities at a particular interest rate. As of the date of the trade, the mortgage-backed securities underlying the pool that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade are not yet designated. The securities are typically “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. As of March 31, 2017, the Company was obligated to purchase approximately $257.8 million of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities and was not obligated to sell any securities and they have been classified within "payables for unsettled trades" on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was not obligated to purchase any securities and was obligated to sell approximately $6.0 million of securities which have been classified within “payables for unsettled trades” on the consolidated balance sheets. Acknowledgment Agreements In order to have Ginnie Mae acknowledge our interest in Excess MSRs related to FHA and VA mortgage loans that were pooled into securities guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, the Company entered into an acknowledgment agreement with Ginnie Mae and Freedom Mortgage. Under that agreement, if Freedom Mortgage failed to make a required payment to the holders of the Ginnie Mae-guaranteed RMBS, the Company would have been obligated to make that payment even though the payment may have related to loans for which the Company did not own any Excess MSRs. The Company’s failure to make that payment would have resulted in liability to Ginnie Mae for any losses or claims that it suffered as a result. This agreement was terminated in February 2017 in connection with the disposition of the remaining Excess MSRs back to Freedom Mortgage. In connection with the MSR Financing Facility (as defined below) entered into by Aurora and QRS III, those parties also entered into an acknowledgment agreement with Fannie Mae. Pursuant to that agreement, Fannie Mae consented to the pledge by Aurora and QRS III of their respective interests in MSRs for loans owned or securitized by Fannie Mae, and acknowledged the security interest of the lender in those MSRs. See Note 12—Notes Payable for a description of the MSR Financing Facility.
