Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”) provides the following information relating to the loans that are in the servicing portfolio to be acquired in connection with the previously disclosed OneWest Bank, FSB (“OneWest”) transaction. The OneWest portfolio has an estimated loan count, as of June 30, 2013, of 307,000, with 149,000 included in “private label” securities and 158,000 included in agency securities (i.e., Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae securities). For the OneWest portfolio, as of June 30, 2013, delinquencies are in the 25-30% range for private label securities and in the 20-25% range for agency securities. For purposes of calculating these percentages, loans are considered delinquent if they are past due for more than 30 days, including loans in bankruptcy, foreclosure and those where the underlying mortgaged property has been acquired but not yet sold following foreclosure (i.e., Real Estate Owned or REO).
