Acquisition of Fee Based Business from Ocwen

 

On January 31, 2013, we entered into letters of intent with Ocwen to acquire for a combined purchase price of $218.6 million certain fee-based businesses associated with Ocwen’s acquisition of Homeward Residential and the anticipated acquisition of the ResCap servicing portfolio. In connection with the intended acquisitions, the term of certain services agreements between Altisource and Ocwen (see Note 4) will be extended from 2020 to 2025. Additionally, Ocwen will not develop similar fee-based businesses that would directly or indirectly compete with the services provided by Altisource to the Homeward Residential and ResCap servicing portfolios.  Consummation of the transactions is subject to customary contingencies including various third party and regulatory consents and approvals.
