On January 16, 2017, we and Freedom Mortgage Corporation (“Freedom Mortgage”)  agreed to amend the agreement, dated as of November 1, 2016 (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell to Freedom Mortgage the Excess MSRs that Freedom Mortgage had previously sold to us. The Agreement, which provides for yield maintenance payments aggregating $3 million, was amended to provide that the yield maintenance payments to be made by Freedom Mortgage would be made monthly on the first business day of each month, beginning December 1, 2016, in the amount of $250,000 per month, rather than being paid quarterly beginning on March 31, 2017.

 

We are party to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Cherry Hill Mortgage Management, LLC (the “Manager”), a Delaware limited liability company established by Mr. Middleman. The Manager is a party to a Services Agreement with Freedom Mortgage which is owned and controlled by Mr. Middleman. The Manager is owned by a “blind trust” for the benefit of Mr. Middleman
