EXPLANATORY NOTE

This amendment hereby amends the registration statement on Form 8-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2015, as previously amended, by supplementing Items 1 and 2 below with the following.

 

Item 1.

Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

On November 9, 2017, Walter Investment Management Corp. (the “ Company ”) and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the “ Rights Agent ”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “ Amendment ”) to the Amended and Restated Section 382 Rights Agreement, dated as of November 11, 2016, between the Company and the Rights Agent (as may be amended from time to time, the “ Rights Agreement ”).

The Rights Agreement previously defined the Final Expiration Date as the earliest to occur of (i) the close of business on November 11, 2017, (ii) the repeal of Section 382 or any successor statute if the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) determines that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary for the preservation of Tax Benefits (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or (iii) the beginning of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no Tax Benefits may be carried forward.

The Amendment extends the first prong of the definition of Final Expiration Date by one year, from November 11, 2017 to November 11, 2018, and amends paragraph eight of the Form of Summary of Rights, attached as Exhibit C to the Rights Agreement, so that reference to November 11, 2017 is replaced with November 11, 2018.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
