Subsequent Events [Text Block]	Note 23 Subsequent eventS On April 2, 2012, Ocwen completed its acquisition of an MSR portfolio of approximately $22.2 billion in UPB of securitized agency and non-agency residential mortgage loans, approximately $9.9 billion of which Ocwen had previously subserviced, from Saxon Mortgage Services, Inc. (the Saxon MSR Transaction). The Saxon MSR Transaction also includes Ocwen’s acquisition of the Seller’s subservicing agreements relating to approximately $2.7 billion in UPB of agency and non-agency residential mortgage loans. The base purchase price for the Saxon MSR Transaction was $73.8 million which was paid in cash by Ocwen at closing. To finance the Saxon MSR Transaction, we utilized a combination of cash on hand, cash generated through operations, the net proceeds from a public offering of common stock on November 9, 2011 and two new two-year servicing advance facilities to borrow approximately $826 million against the approximately $1,206.8 million in servicing advances associated with the acquired MSRs. The interest rates on the two new facilities are 1-Month LIBOR plus 285 basis points on one facility and the lender’s commercial paper rate plus 225 basis points on the other. The purchase agreement for the Saxon MSR Transaction was amended in March 2012 such that Ocwen acquired the Seller’s servicing assets, including substantially all of its MSR portfolio and subservicing agreements and certain other assets, rather than its stock and employees. As Ocwen no longer expects to incur any material transition or shut down costs associated with the Saxon MSR Transaction, the base purchase price increased from the previously disclosed estimated base purchase price of $59.3 million. As part of the Saxon MSR Transaction, the Seller, its parent, Morgan Stanley, and Ocwen have agreed to certain indemnification provisions. Additionally, the Seller and Morgan Stanley agreed to retain certain contingent liabilities for losses, fines and penalties arising from claims by and/or settlements with government authorities and certain third parties relating to the Seller’s and its affiliates’ pre-closing foreclosure, servicing and loan origination practices. Further, the Seller, Morgan Stanley and Ocwen have agreed to share certain losses arising out of third-party claims in connection with the Seller’s pre-closing performance under its servicing agreements. On April 2, 2012, Ocwen completed its acquisition of certain MSRs from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMCB) which includes servicing rights for certain third party private securitizations in which neither JPMCB nor any of its affiliated entities were issuers or loan sellers. The transaction relates to MSRs for approximately 41,200 non-prime loans with a UPB of approximately $8.1 billion (the JPMCB MSR Transaction). The purchase price of $569.9 million was paid in cash and included servicing advance receivables. Ocwen financed $418.8 million of the purchase price through an existing servicing advance facility. The remainder of the JPMCB MSR Transaction was funded through a combination of cash on-hand and cash generated through operations. As part of the JPMCB MSR Transaction, JPMCB and Ocwen have agreed to indemnification provisions for the benefit of the other party. On May 1, 2012, Ocwen completed a second sale to HLSS Holdings of Rights to MSRs for approximately $2.9 billion of UPB and related servicing advances under terms similar to the initial sale on March 5, 2012. However, unlike the initial sale, although HLSS acquired the related servicing advances, it did not acquire the financing SPE that held the advances or assume any of the related match funded liabilities. Ocwen received proceeds of $103.8 million at closing. Of that amount, $7.1 million was used to prepay a portion of Ocwen’s senior secured term loan facility and $64.4 million was used to repay a portion of the match funded debt related to the advances.
