Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 31, 2015, Altisource Asset Management Corporation ("AAMC" or the "Company") entered into a new Asset Management Agreement ("AMA") with Altisource Residential Corporation ("Residential") and Altisource Residential, L.P.
The AMA, which became effective on April 1, 2015, provides for a new management fee structure which replaces the incentive fee structure under the original asset management agreement as follows:
◦ | AAMC is entitled to a quarterly base management fee equal to 1.5% of the product of (i) Residential’s average invested capital for the quarter multiplied by (ii) 0.25, while Residential has fewer than 2,500 single family rental properties actually rented (“Rental Properties”). The base management fee percentage increases to 1.75% of invested capital while Residential has between 2,500 and 4,499 Rental Properties and increases to 2.0% of invested capital while Residential has 4,500 or more Rental Properties; |
◦ | AAMC is entitled to a quarterly incentive management fee equal to 20% of the amount by which Residential's return on invested capital exceeds a hurdle return rate of between 7% and 8.25% (depending on the 10-year treasury rate). The incentive management fee increases to 22.5% while Residential has between 2,500 and 4,499 Rental Properties and increases to 25% while Residential has 4,500 or more Rental Properties; and |
◦ | AAMC is entitled to a quarterly conversion fee equal to 1.5% of the market value of the single-family homes leased by Residential for the first time during the quarter. |
Residential has the flexibility to pay up to 25% of the incentive management fee to AAMC in shares of Residential common stock.
Under the new AMA, AAMC will continue to be the exclusive asset manager for Residential for an initial term of 15 years from April 1, 2015, with two potential five-year extensions, subject to Residential achieving an average annual return on invested capital of at least 7%.
Neither party is entitled to terminate the AMA prior to the end of the initial term, or each renewal term, other than termination by (a) Residential and/or AAMC “for cause” for certain events such as a material breach of the AMA and failure to cure such breach, (b) Residential for certain “good reason events” such as Residential’s failure to achieve a return on invested capital of at least 7% for two consecutive fiscal years after the third anniversary of the AMA, and (c) Residential in connection with certain change of control events.
The foregoing description of the new AMA does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the AMA which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
