Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 5, 2014, HLSS Servicer Advance Receivables Trust (the “HSART Facility”) entered into a separate amendment agreement (each an “Amendment Agreement”) with each of Barclays Bank plc, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch. Each Amendment Agreement amends an Indenture Supplement dated as of August 30, 2013 for a series of variable funding notes issued by the HSART Facility (the “Notes”).

The Amendment Agreements modify certain terms that caused an immediate reduction in the applicable advance rates on the Notes upon the occurrence of certain events. Subject to the HSART Facility meeting all other funding requirements, the Amendment Agreements eliminate such advance rate reduction.

This description of the Amendment Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 and which are incorporated herein by reference.


Item 8.01
Other Events

On December 4, 2014, Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd.’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, purchase the Company’s ordinary shares (“Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price not to exceed $150 million. The purpose of the Share Repurchase Program is to provide the Company with the flexibility to invest cash generated in excess of its dividend for the repurchase of its Shares.

Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may purchase its Shares, at its discretion, through various means, including, without limitation, open market and privately negotiated transactions, through block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to purchase any Shares, and expires on December 4, 2017. The authorization for the Share Repurchase Program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion at any time.
