Case Background

On November 30, 2017, Walter Investment Management Corp. (“Walter” or the “Company”) announced that the Company elected to file a voluntary chapter 11 petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to execute a prepackaged financial restructuring plan. Through our financial restructuring process, by the end of the first quarter of 2018, the Company expects to have reduced its corporate debt by approximately $800 million (as compared to June 30, 2017) and created financial flexibility that will better enable it to focus on its business, including the growth of its origination and servicing businesses, new technology, innovation and other areas that are critical to its success.

The prepackaged plan incorporates the previously announced agreements the Company reached with  certain lenders holding term loans under the Company's Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2013 (the “lenders”), and certain holders of its outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021 (the “senior noteholders”). The prepackaged plan has been overwhelmingly approved by the Company’s lenders, senior noteholders, and convertible noteholders.

The Company’s operating subsidiaries, including Ditech Financial LLC and Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc., are not expected to commence an in-court restructuring process and are expected to continue business as usual during the time the Company is in chapter 11.

Walter’s case has been assigned to Judge James L. Garrity Jr. and Case No. 17-13446. The Docket can be accessed on this website or through the website maintained by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (http://www.nysb.uscourts.gov/).
