Form 8-K for HOME LOAN SERVICING SOLUTIONS, LTD.


2-Aug-2012

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets, Financial


Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition of Assets.

On August 1, 2012, HLSS Holdings, LLC ("HLSS Holdings"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. ("HLSS" or "we"), completed an acquisition from Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC ("OLS") of rights to receive servicing fees ("Rights to MSRs") and related servicing advances for a servicing portfolio of subprime and Alt-A residential mortgage loans (the "Transaction"). This Transaction resulted in the acquisition by HLSS Holdings of Rights to MSRs with approximately $2.1 billion in unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans ("UPB") as of July 31, 2012. The characteristics of these mortgage servicing assets are similar to those we previously acquired from OLS, and we expect this Transaction to be accretive to earnings.

The purchase price for the Transaction was $74.7 million. To finance that amount, we used $18.6 million in cash generated from operations and borrowed $56.1 million under an existing servicing advance facility with Barclays Bank PLC against the $66.7 million in servicing advances associated with the Rights to MSRs. Within 90 days of the closing, the purchase price may be adjusted to reflect any adjustments in the calculation of the UPB of the underlying mortgage loans or servicing advance balances acquired in the Transaction.

We acquired these mortgage servicing assets from OLS pursuant to a Sale Supplement to the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement we executed with OLS in connection the IPO. In addition to acquiring OLS's right, title and interest to the Rights to MSRs and the associated servicing advances, we also committed to purchase servicing advances that arise under the related pooling and servicing agreements after the closing date. In return, OLS continues to service the related mortgage loans, receives a monthly base fee equal to 12% of the servicing fees collected in any given month, and retains any ancillary income (excluding investment income earned on any custodial accounts) payable to the servicer pursuant to the related pooling and servicing agreements. OLS also earns a monthly performance based incentive fee based on the servicing fees collected. If the targeted advance ratio in any month exceeds the predetermined level for that month set forth in the Sale Supplement and the Subservicing Supplement for the Transaction, any performance based incentive fee payable for such month will be reduced by an amount equal to 6.5% per annum of the amount of any such excess servicing advances.

The Sale Supplement and the Subservicing Supplement for the Transaction are governed by the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement and the Master Subservicing Agreement, respectively. See "The Proposed Business - Description of the Purchase Agreement" and "- Description of the Subservicing Agreement" in our Prospectus dated February 28, 2012 for a more detailed description of the Master Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement and the Master Subservicing Agreement, respectively.
