DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-188464) of Ocwen Financial Corporation, a Florida corporation (the “Registrant”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2013 and became effective on May 9, 2013 (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was filed with respect to the offer and resale by the selling stockholders named in the prospectus from time to time of 162,000 shares of series A perpetual convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issuable upon the conversion of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, if and to the extent that such selling stockholders convert their Series A Preferred Stock to shares of common stock of the Registrant. On July 14, 2014, the Registrant entered into a Repurchase Letter Agreement pursuant to which all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock were converted into common stock and immediately repurchased and canceled.

Pursuant to the undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 to terminate the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and to deregister all shares of Series A Preferred Stock and common stock registered thereunder that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
