Regulatory Net Worth Requirements

Regulatory Net Worth RequirementsThe Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), which govern non-supervised, direct endorsement mortgagees. The Company is also subject to regulatory

capital requirements administered by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, which govern issuers of Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac securities. Additionally, the Company is required to maintain minimum net worth requirements for many of the states in which it sells and services loans. Each state has its own minimum net worth requirement; these range from $0 to $1,000, depending on the state.

Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary remedial actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could (i) remove the Company’s ability to sell and service loans to, or on behalf of, the Agencies and (ii) have a direct material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In accordance with the regulatory capital guidelines, the Company must meet specific quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Further, changes in regulatory and accounting standards, as well as the impact of future events on the Company’s results, may significantly affect the Company’s net worth adequacy.

The Company is subject to the following minimum net worth, minimum capital ratio, and minimum liquidity requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Seller/Servicers, and Ginnie Mae for single family issuers:

Minimum Net Worth

The minimum net worth requirement for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is defined as follows:

•Base Adjusted/Tangible Net Worth (as defined by HUD) of $2.5 million plus 25 basis points of outstanding UPB for total loans serviced.

•Adjusted/Tangible Net Worth, as defined by HUD, is comprised of total equity less goodwill, intangible assets, affiliate receivables, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses, and certain pledged assets.

The minimum net worth requirement for Ginnie Mae is defined as follows:

•Base Adjusted/Tangible Net Worth (as defined by HUD) of $2.5 million plus 35 basis points of the issuer’s total single-family effective outstanding obligations.

•Adjusted/Tangible Net Worth, as defined by HUD, is comprised of total equity less goodwill, intangible assets, affiliate receivables, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses, and certain pledged assets.

Minimum Capital Ratio

For Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae, the Company is also required to maintain a ratio of Adjusted/Tangible Net Worth to Total Assets greater than 6.0%.

Minimum Liquidity

The minimum liquidity requirement for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is defined as follows:

•3.5 basis points of total Agency servicing.

•Allowable assets for liquidity may include: cash and cash equivalents (unrestricted); available for sale or held for trading investment grade securities (e.g., Agency MBS, Obligations of Government Sponsored Enterprises (“GSEs”), US Treasury Obligations); and unused/available portion of committed servicing advance lines.

The minimum liquidity requirement for Ginnie Mae is defined as follows:

•Maintain liquid assets equal to the greater of $1.0 million or 10 basis points of the Company’s outstanding single-family MBS.

The most restrictive of the requirements require the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth balance of $224.7 million and $225.7 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company is in compliance with all minimum requirements to which it was subject as of March 31, 2023.
