Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements regarding the expected closing of the Merger and the timing of the closing thereof. These statements are based on the current expectations and beliefs of Company management and are subject to a number of trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, such as the consent of third parties. The Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this press release. For a discussion of some of the risks and important factors that could affect such forward-looking statements, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available on the Company’s website (www.newresi.com).

Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, the following risks relating to the proposed Merger, including in respect of the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Merger; unanticipated difficulties and/or expenditures relating to the Merger; uncertainties as to the timing of the Merger; litigation relating to the Merger; the impact of the Merger on each company’s relationships with employees and third parties; and the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining cost savings and synergies from the Merger. In addition, the risks to which HLSS’s business is subject, including those risks described in HLSS’s periodic reports filed with the SEC, could adversely affect the proposed merger and, following the completion of the proposed merger, our operations and future prospects.

New risks and uncertainties may also emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict or assess the impact of every factor that may cause its actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
