Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

Walter Investment Management Corp. (the “Company”) entered into confidentiality agreements (as amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreements”) (i) on September 23, 2017, with certain holders (the “Ad Hoc Noteholders”) of the Company’s 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Senior Notes”) issued pursuant to that certain Senior Notes Indenture (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Senior Notes Indenture”) by and among the Company, the guarantors thereof, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as Successor Trustee, dated as of December 17, 2013, and (ii) on September 27, 2017, with the investment manager, sub-advisor or persons acting in similar capacities for certain members of a group (the “Ad Hoc Term Loan Holders”) of persons that hold or control an interest in the Company’s term loan under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, as the borrower, Credit Suisse AG, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and the lenders party thereto, regarding potential transactions in respect of the Company’s previously announced debt restructuring initiative.

Pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreements, the Ad Hoc Term Loan Holders and the Ad Hoc Noteholders have been provided with confidential information regarding the Company, which materials are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 (the “Confidential Information”).

On October 20, 2017, the Company entered into (i) an Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement (as amended, the “Term Lender RSA”) with lenders holding, as of October 20, 2017 more than 48% of the loans and/or commitments outstanding (the “Consenting Term Lenders”) under the Credit Agreement, and (ii) a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Senior Noteholder RSA” and together with the Term Lender RSA, the “RSAs”) with senior unsecured noteholders holding, as of October 20, 2017 more than 50% of the Senior Notes (the “Consenting Noteholders”). The terms of the Term Lender RSA and Senior Noteholder RSA are disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K being filed on the date hereof and are incorporated by reference to Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 thereto, respectively.

The Confidential Information, including any financial projections and forecasts, was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or compliance with the published guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the guidelines established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and should not be relied upon to make an investment decision with respect to the Company or the Issuer. The Information does not purport to present the Company’s financial condition in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not examined, compiled or otherwise applied procedures to the Confidential Information and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect to the Confidential Information. The inclusion of the Confidential Information should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or its affiliates or representatives consider the Confidential Information to be a reliable prediction of future events, and the Confidential Information should not be relied upon as such. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates or representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate outcome of any debt restructuring initiative, and none of them undertakes any obligation to publicly update the Confidential Information to reflect circumstances existing after the date when the Confidential Information was made or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Confidential Information are shown to be in error or to provide any update to any proposal attached hereto. The statements provided herein are subject to all of the cautionary statements and limitations described herein and under the caption “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information being furnished under this Item 7.01 pursuant to this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements in this Form 8-K and in the Confidential Information constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “shall,” “will,” “seeks,” “targets,” “future,” or other similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, and our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from future results, performance or achievements expressed in these forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements relating to the potential transactions contemplated by the RSAs, estimated and projected financial and operating metrics, estimated and projected non-GAAP financial measures, descriptions of management’s strategy, plans, objectives or intentions and descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above matters and other statements that are not historical fact.

These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current beliefs, intentions and expectations and are not guarantees or indicative of future performance, nor should any conclusions be drawn or assumptions be made as to any potential outcome of any strategic initiatives or transactions the Company considers.

Risks and uncertainties relating to the debt restructuring initiative include: the ability of the Company to comply with the terms of the RSAs, including completing various stages of the restructuring within the dates specified by the RSAs; the ability of the Company to obtain requisite support for the restructuring from various stakeholders; the ability of the Company to maintain the listing of its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange; the ability of the Company to successfully execute the transactions contemplated by the RSAs without substantial disruption to the business of, or a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by, one or more of its primary operating or other subsidiaries; and the effects of disruption from the proposed restructuring making it more difficult to maintain business, financing and operational relationships, to retain key executives and to maintain various licenses and approvals necessary for the Company to conduct its business.

Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those factors, risks and uncertainties described in more detail under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s annual and quarterly reports, including amendments thereto, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The above factors, risks and uncertainties are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond the Company’s control. New factors, risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, risks and

uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein and in the Confidential Information are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore any of these statements may prove to be inaccurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein and in the Confidential Information, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the Company’s objectives and plans will be achieved. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date such statements were made or any earlier date indicated, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in underlying assumptions or otherwise. If the Company were in any particular instance to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that the Company would make additional updates or corrections thereafter.
