Note 10 - Investment in Equity Method Investee and Related Party Transactions
On December 21, 2020, Ocwen entered into a transaction agreement (the Transaction Agreement) with Oaktree Capital Management L.P. and certain affiliates (collectively Oaktree) to form a strategic relationship to invest in MSRs subserviced by PMC. The parties have agreed to invest their pro rata portions of up to an aggregate of $250.0 million in an intermediate holding company, MAV Canopy, held 15% by Ocwen and 85% by Oaktree. On May 3, 2021, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Ocwen contributed 100% of its equity interest in MAV, which had total member’s equity and cash balances of approximately $5.0 million at the time of its contribution, to MAV Canopy. In exchange for its contribution, Ocwen received 15% equity interest of MAV Canopy plus $4.4 million cash consideration from MAV Canopy that was representative of the remaining 85% of MAV. MAV is a licensed mortgage servicing company approved to purchase GSE MSRs. PMC and MAV entered into a number of definitive agreements which govern the terms of their business relationship: Subservicing Agreement. Effective May 3, 2021, PMC entered into a subservicing agreement with MAV for exclusive rights to service the mortgage loans underlying MSRs owned by MAV in exchange for a per-loan subservicing fee and certain other ancillary fees. The subservicing agreement will continue until terminated by mutual agreement of the parties or for cause, as defined. If either party terminates the agreement for cause, the other party is required to pay certain fees and costs. As of June 30, 2022, PMC subserviced a total $45.1 billion UPB on behalf of MAV, of which $28.5 billion MSR remains reported on the consolidated balance sheet of PMC - see below for information on MSR sales by PMC to MAV that do not achieve sale accounting. Subserviced loans exclude UPB of $1.6 billion that have not yet transferred to our servicing system as of June 30, 2022. Effective March 1, 2022, PMC and MAV amended certain provisions of the subservicing agreement to adjust down the ancillary fee retained by PMC to enhance the competitiveness of MAV when buying MSRs and generate additional subservicing volume to PMC. The amendment resulted in a $14.1 million fair value loss (as a change in the present value of future contractual cash flows) on the Pledged MSR liability that is reported at fair value in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Joint Marketing Agreement and Recapture Agreement. Effective May 3, 2021, in conjunction with the subservicing agreement, PMC and MAV entered into a joint marketing agreement and a flow MSR sale agreement (MSR recapture), whereby PMC is entitled to the exclusive right to solicit and refinance borrowers with loans underlying the MSR owned by MAV, and is obligated to transfer to MAV the MSR associated with the loans so originated. Under the agreements, the parties share the recapture benefits, whereby PMC realizes gains on loans sold and MAV is delivered the recaptured MSR for no cash consideration. The joint marketing agreement and flow MSR sale agreement will continue until terminated by mutual agreement of the parties or for cause, as defined, or at the option of either party if the subservicing agreement is terminated. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, PMC transferred UPB of $191.4 million under this agreement. Right of First Offer. Following the execution of the Transaction Agreement and until the parties have contributed their pro rata portions of the $250.0 million aggregate capital contributions, Ocwen and its affiliates may not acquire, without Oaktree’s prior written approval, GSE MSRs that meet certain underwriting and other criteria (such criteria are referred to as the “buy-box”) unless Ocwen notifies MAV of the opportunity and MAV does not pursue it by submitting a competitive bid to the MSR seller. In addition, until the earlier of (i) the time that MAV has been fully funded and (ii) May 3, 2024 (subject to two annual extensions by mutual agreement), if Ocwen seeks to sell any GSE MSRs that meet the buy-box, Ocwen must first offer such MSRs to MAV before initiating a sale process with a third party. If MAV does not accept Ocwen’s offer, Ocwen may sell the MSRs to a third party on terms no more favorable to the purchaser than those offered to MAV. The price at which Ocwen and its affiliates will offer MSRs to MAV will be based on the valuation of an independent third-party. This first offer provision does not apply to MSRs acquired by PMC prior to May 3, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, MAV’s aggregated capital contributions amounted to $128.4 million, net of distributions. Forward Bulk Servicing Rights Purchase and Sale Agreement: On September 9, 2021, PMC and MAV entered into an MSR purchase and sale agreement whereby PMC sells MAV on a monthly basis certain Fannie Mae MSRs at the price acquired by PMC, subject to certain adjustments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, PMC transferred MSRs with UPB of $5.1 billion to MAV under this agreement. Bulk Mortgage Servicing Rights Purchase and Sale Agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, PMC transferred MAV certain MSRs in bulk transactions for an aggregate UPB of approximately $598.3 million. The MSR sale transactions between PMC and MAV do not qualify for sale accounting primarily due to the termination restrictions of the subservicing agreement, and are accounted for as secured borrowings. See Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting for a summary of transactions under this agreement. Administrative Services Agreement: Ocwen provides certain administrative services to MAV, including accounting, treasury, human resources, management information, MSR transaction management support, and certain licensing, regulatory and risk management support. Ocwen is entitled to a fee for such services, subject to an annual cap of $0.5 million. Our equity method investment in MAV Canopy is comprised of the following at and for the dates indicated:

Under the Amended & Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement with MAV Canopy, Ocwen is entitled to receive its 15% percentage interest share of MAV Canopy’s earnings, subject to certain adjustments. In addition, upon MAV Canopy liquidation or upon determination of the MAV Canopy Board of Directors to make advance distributions, Ocwen is entitled to receive a specified portion of the distribution amount available (“Promote Distribution”), after satisfaction of required distribution thresholds, including a specified internal rate of return threshold on Oaktree member’s gross adjusted capital contributions. We determined that the Promote Distribution represents an incentive fee under our various service agreements with MAV with a variable consideration and is recognized in earnings when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. As of June 30, 2022, Ocwen has not recognized any such incentive fee. MAV Canopy, MAV and Oaktree are deemed related parties to Ocwen. In addition to its investment in MAV Canopy, the subservicing agreement by PMC and the other agreements described above, Ocwen issued common stock, warrants and senior secured notes to Oaktree in 2021 as described in Note 13 – Borrowings and Note 17 – Interest Expense.
