On April 12, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of New Residential Investment Corp. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board to eight (8) members and appointed Pamela F. Lenehan as an independent director of the Company. Ms. Lenehan will serve as a Class I Director with a term expiring at the 2020 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company. The Board also appointed Ms. Lenehan as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board.

As of the date of the appointment, Ms. Lenehan has not entered into or proposed to enter into any transactions required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Ms. Lenehan will receive the standard annual Board compensation for non-employee directors for 2019 (prorated based on the date of her appointment). Standard annual Board compensation for 2019 is comprised of the fees described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2019.

These options will be settled in an amount of cash equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value on the date of grant, unless advance approval is made to settle in shares.
