Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 10, 2015, CHMI Solutions, Inc. (“CHMI Solutions”), a wholly owned taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company, entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Agreement”), with Aurora Financial Holding Company, Inc., as seller (the “Seller”), Aurora Financial Group, Inc. (“Aurora”) and the Seller’s majority shareholder, whereby CHMI Solutions will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Aurora for an aggregate cash purchase price estimated to be approximately $4.0 million plus the assumption of liabilities of approximately $3.0 million. As described in the Agreement, the purchase price is subject to upward or downward adjustment based on Aurora’s adjusted book value as of the closing date. Upon completion of the transaction, the Company will acquire Aurora’s MSR portfolio, which had an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $700 million as of December 31, 2014.

Aurora is licensed to originate and service mortgage loans in Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and is an approved Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac seller/servicer and an approved Ginnie Mae issuer.

The Company and Aurora intend to begin immediately seeking approval for the change in control from the requisite regulatory authorities and the three agencies. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of agency and regulatory approvals of the change in control, and is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2015. No assurance can be given that the required approvals will be obtained or that the transaction will close on the anticipated timeframe, or at all.

The description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the actual Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws, including statements regarding the closing of the transaction referred to above and the amount of the purchase price to be paid for Aurora’s capital stock. These forward looking statements are based upon the Company’s present expectations, but these statements are not guaranteed to occur. For a description of factors that may cause the Company’s actual results or performance to differ from its forward-looking statements, please review the information under the heading “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
