AAMC also announced that, on August 13, 2020, it entered into a Termination and Transition Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Front Yard Residential Corporation (“Front Yard”), pursuant to which, following a transition period of not more than 180 days to ensure a smooth internalization and the transfer of certain employees and assets to Front Yard, the Amended and Restated Asset Management Agreement (the “Amended AMA”) with Front Yard will be terminated. As consideration for the termination of the Amended AMA, AAMC will receive (1) a termination fee of approximately $46.0 million, (2) $8.2 million for the transfer of certain assets and subsidiaries of AAMC to Front Yard and (3) continued base management fees through the date that Front Yard delivers written notice to AAMC that the transition has been satisfactorily completed. Of these amounts, AAMC will receive $18.2 million in cash within 2 business days of entering into the Termination Agreement and $36.0 million upon the successful completion of the transition period under the Termination Agreement, of which up to $21.0 million may be paid at the option of Front Yard in either cash or Front Yard common stock. AAMC will retain certain assets, key employees and subsidiaries to continue to build out its asset management businesses focused on the origination and underwriting of short duration construction loans backed by single-family rental homes as well as other new business initiatives. As part of the termination, AAMC has agreed to reinstate George Ellison and Robin Lowe as Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of AAMC during the transition, and Mr. Ellison has stepped down as Chairman of AAMC’s Board of Directors effective immediately and agreed to resign from the Board of Directors and as Co-Chief Executive Officer of AAMC shortly before the transition is completed.
Second Quarter 2020 Highlights and Recent Developments
“We are pleased by the continued improved and strong operational performance of Front Yard in the second quarter under our management,” stated Indroneel Chatterjee, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “We also have made continued progress in the design, development and organization of new business opportunities for AAMC, as we are targeting market dislocation in real estate-backed loans and fixed income bonds, mortgage-related securities, government-sponsored mortgage and construction loans and mortgage servicing rights. The Termination Agreement with Front Yard, which is on terms favorable to both AAMC and Front Yard stockholders and allows AAMC to reduce the operating costs associated with providing services to Front Yard under the Amended AMA following the transition period, and the $20.0 million firm investment commitment in our new fund mark significant milestones for our company.”
