On November 1, 2024, we acquired certain reverse mortgage assets of MAM and investment funds managed by Waterfall Asset Management, LLC that own MAM (collectively “Waterfall”). The acquired assets were subserviced by PHH and included HECM reverse mortgage loans and mortgage servicing rights with a UPB of $2.9 billion (which are reported on our consolidated balance sheet as Loans held for investment, at fair value along with HMBS-related borrowings, at fair value), $20.0 million cash, and reverse mortgage buyouts, advances, tails and other related assets and liabilities. In consideration of the net acquired assets, Onity issued shares of a new series of preferred stock. Included in Other liabilities is the consideration for assets transferred with a UPB of $14.2 million for which the final amount of consideration is subject to post-closing adjustment to be agreed upon by the parties and may be settled in the form of cash, additional preferred stock, other instrument, or a combination thereof.
