Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Ocwen Financial Corporation (the “Company”) on April 2, 2024 to disclose director Claudia J. Merkle’s expected committee assignments on the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”).

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

As previously disclosed, on March 28, 2024, the Company’s Board appointed Claudia J. Merkle to serve as a director, effective April 1, 2024. On April 10, 2024, the Board appointed Ms. Merkle to serve on the Board’s Compensation and Human Capital Committee and Nomination/Governance Committee, effective May 28, 2024. The Board has determined that Ms. Merkle is independent as independence for compensation committee members is defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, qualifies as a “non-employee” director as defined in Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is an “outside” director within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
