Notice of early redemption of senior secured notes
On February 2, 2021, we gave notice of our intention to redeem on March 4, 2021 the outstanding 6.375% Senior Notes due August 2021 at a price of 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and the 8.375% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due November 2022 at a price of 102.094% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption on March 4, 2021 would result in the recognition of an estimated $7.1 million loss on debt extinguishment. Our obligation to redeem the notes is contingent upon our completion of a debt financing that will provide funds sufficient to pay the redemption price in full for the respective notes. Accordingly, the March 4, 2021 redemption date may be extended until the financing conditions are satisfied or waived, in our sole discretion. If the financing conditions are not satisfied, we may elect to rescind the notice of redemption for such notes, terminate the redemption, and return any tendered notes to the holders.
Announcement of financing transactions
On February 9, 2021, we reached a definitive agreement with certain funds and accounts managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and affiliates (collectively Oaktree) pursuant to which we agreed to issue, and Oaktree agreed to purchase, in a private placement $285.0 million principal amount of Senior Secured Notes, in two separate tranches. The $199.5 million
issuance and sale of the initial Senior Secured Notes to Oaktree is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the contemporaneous consummation by us or one of our subsidiaries of an additional debt financing not to exceed $450.0 million. The issuance and sale of the additional $85.5 million Senior Secured Notes will occur within one year after the initial Senior Secured Notes issuance, and is subject to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) Ocwen having a book value of common equity of at least $360.0 million and (ii) the closing of the MSR joint venture with affiliates of Oaktree. See Note 25 — Commitments, Oaktree MAV Transaction.
Concurrent with the issuance of the initial Senior Secured Notes, we will issue to Oaktree warrants to purchase shares of our common stock equal to 12% of our then outstanding common stock at an exercise price of $26.82 per share, subject to antidilution adjustments. The warrants may not be exercised if the ownership of Oaktree would exceed 19.9% without prior shareholder approval, or 9.9% without prior regulatory approvals. If these limitations apply, Oaktree would have the right to exercise the warrants to purchase shares of non-voting preferred stock of Ocwen. While the warrants will not be registered, we agreed to enter into a registration rights agreement with Oaktree pursuant to which we will to register for resale the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.
The gross proceeds from the initial Senior Secured Notes and warrants are expected to be approximately $199.5 million, before deducting underwriting discount and other estimated issuance costs. The net proceeds from the initial Senior Secured Notes and warrants, together with the net proceeds from the additional debt financing that is a condition to issuance of the initial Senior Secured Notes, are expected to repay in full an aggregate of $498.1 million of indebtedness, including our Senior Secured Term Loan due May 2022, all of PMC’s outstanding 6.375% senior unsecured notes due August 2021 and PHH’s 8.375% senior secured second lien notes due November 2022. The net proceeds from the additional Senior Secured Notes are expected to be used to fund the Company’s investment in the MSR joint venture. Remaining proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including to accelerate growth of our originations and servicing businesses. The early redemption of the SSTL, the 6.375% senior unsecured notes and the 8.375% senior secured second lien notes is expected to result in the recognition of an estimated $15.5 million loss on debt extinguishment.
The Senior Secured Notes will include the following additional terms:
The Senior Secured Notes will have a six-year term with no amortization of principal and accrue at the rate of 12% per annum if paid in cash or 13.25% per annum if “paid-in-kind” through an increase in the principal amount or the issuance of additional Senior Secured Notes (PIK Interest). Prior to the first anniversary, all of the interest on the Senior Secured Notes may, at our option, be payable as PIK Interest. After the first anniversary, a minimum amount of interest will be required to be paid in cash equal to the lesser of (i) 7% per annum of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes and (ii) the total amount of unrestricted cash of Ocwen and its subsidiaries less the greater of $125.0 million and the minimum liquidity amounts required by any agency.
We will be permitted to redeem the Senior Secured Notes in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and, if redeemed prior to the fifth anniversary of their issuance, plus a make-whole premium. Upon a change of control of Ocwen, we will be required to offer to repurchase the Senior Secured Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Senior Secured Notes will be solely the obligation of Ocwen, with a pledge of substantially all of its assets that is expected to be junior to the lien securing the additional debt financing. The Senior Secured Notes will not be guaranteed by any of the Ocwen’s subsidiaries nor secured by a pledge or lien on any assets of Ocwen’s subsidiaries.
The Senior Secured Notes will have two financial maintenance covenants: (1) a minimum book value of our stockholders’ equity of not less than $275.0 million and (2) a minimum amount of unrestricted cash of not less than $50.0 million at any time. The Senior Secured Notes also will have affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are customary for debt securities of this type.
We will be required to pay Oaktree a $35.0 million alternate transaction fee if the Initial Senior Secured Notes are not issued by August 9, 2021, or if we incur or issue additional indebtedness or we issue or sell any equity interests in certain alternative transactions to parties other than Oaktree which generate proceeds in excess of $100.0 million.
There can be no assurance that the conditions to the issuance and sale of the Senior Secured Notes to Oaktree will be met, or that any additional debt financing will be consummated.
