Recent Developments
Legal Proceedings
In November 2010, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a Civil Investigation Demand (CID) to an unknown number of mortgage servicers, including Green Tree Servicing LLC (Green Tree), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, requesting information on a broad range of subjects relating to the companies operations. In November 2011, Green Tree received a Supplementary Discovery Request from the FTC seeking additional information. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) began participating in the FTCs investigation in April 2012. In September 2012, the CFPB issued CIDs to a number of mortgage servicers, including Green Tree, requesting information on a broad range of subjects relating to the companies mortgage servicing operations.
In response to the CIDs from the FTC and CFPB, Green Tree has produced documents and other information concerning a wide range of its operations. On October 7, 2013, the CFPB notified Green Tree, that the CFPBs staff is considering recommending that the CFPB take action against Green Tree for alleged violations of various federal consumer financial laws. On February 20, 2014, the FTC and CFPB staff advised Green Tree that it has sought authority to bring an enforcement action and negotiate a resolution related to alleged violations of various federal consumer financial laws. The Company anticipates meeting with the staff in the near future to get a better understating of the staffs concerns and to see if the matter can be resolved. At this time, the Company does not have sufficient information to evaluate the merits of the potential enforcement action or to make an assessment of the likelihood or cost of any such resolution.
Pending Transactions
The Company is awaiting approvals of certain government sponsored entities for its acquisition of servicing rights from EverBank and for another acquisition of servicing rights from an affiliate of a national bank. The Company cannot be certain whether or when such approval will be received or what conditions might attach to such approval. Failure to obtain both approvals could have a material adverse affect on financial performance of the Company.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in Items 2.02 and 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
