Item 8.01.
Other Events.
Jim Cutillo, Chief Executive Officer of Stonegate Mortgage Corporation (the “Company”), and Steve Landes, President of NattyMac, LLC, each entered into separate prearranged stock trading plans to sell a limited amount of the Company’s shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “common stock”), for personal financial management purposes, designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policies regarding stock transactions (each, a “10b5-1 Plan”).
Mr. Cutillo’s 10b5-1 Plan allows for the sale of a maximum of 100,000 shares of the 739,720 shares of common stock he currently owns. Sales pursuant to his 10b5-1 Plan may begin as early as January 1, 2015 and will end no later than October 1, 2015.
Mr. Landes’s 10b5-1 Plan allows for the sale of a maximum of 120,000 shares of the 276,091 shares of common stock he currently owns. Sales pursuant to his 10b5-1 Plan may begin as early as January 15, 2015 and will end no later than December 31, 2016.
Each 10b5-1 Plan provides for sales of specified share amounts at specified market prices, subject to certain limitations, and each 10b5-1 Plan may terminate sooner than the dates specified above, in accordance with their terms.
Transactions made under the 10b5-1 Plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report on specific Rule 10b5-1 pre-planned stock trading plans of Company officers or directors, nor to report modifications or terminations of the aforementioned 10b5-1 Plan or the plan of any other individual.
