New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 6.7% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.7% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC and Ocwen Financial Corporation Propose Settlement A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit called Weiner v. Ocwen Financial Corp., Case No. Case No. 14-cv-02597, (E.D. Cal.) (the Settlement). This Notice summarizes Class Members' rights and options. Plaintiff alleges that Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC and its parent company Ocwen Financial Corporation (together, Defendants or Ocwen) over-charged borrowers for certain property valuation expenses, including Broker Price Opinions (BPOs) or Hybrid Valuations (Hybrids), which Plaintiff alleges contained undisclosed "mark-ups." Ocwen denies Plaintiff's claims, and all alleged wrongdoing associated with Plaintiff's claims. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. Instead, the Parties have agreed to the Settlement to avoid the costs, risk, and delays associated with continuing this complex and time-consuming litigation. The Court certified a Nationwide Settlement Class that includes all residents of the United States of America who have or had a loan serviced by Ocwen and who paid for one or more BPOs or Hybrids charged by Ocwen through Altisource, from November 5, 2010 through September 29, 2017, the date of the class certification order in this action. The Court also certified a California Settlement Sub-Class that includes all residents of the State of California who have or had a loan serviced by Ocwen and to whom charges for one or more BPOs or Hybrids were assessed to their mortgage account by Ocwen through Altisource, from November 5, 2010 through September 29, 2017 (the class period"). The Nationwide Settlement Class and California Settlement Sub-Cass are collectively the Settlement Class. If approved, the Settlement will provide: A $60 reimbursement for each BPO fee that Settlement Class Members paid during the class period; A $70 reimbursement for each Hybrid fee that Settlement Class Members paid during the class period; Reversals and/or credits for any California Sub-Class Members who continue to have loans serviced by Ocwen, in the amount of $60 for each BPO and $70 for each Hybrid fee that was assessed to the Class Member during the class period but for which the Class Member has not paid; and Defendants' modification of disclosures to borrowers in valuation-related correspondence and reports, and in any applicable fee schedules, to identify, as applicable, the "reconciliation" service added by vendors to BPO and Hybrid products. Class Members can file a claim, request exclusion, object, or do nothing. File a Claim. To receive a payment from the Settlement, submit a valid claim electronically at website or postmarked by September 29, 2025. Tillkännagivande • Apr 04

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.1% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Feb 28

Ocwen Financial Comments on Court Order Granting Ocwen’s Motion for Summary Judgment on Majority of Claims in CFPB Matter Ocwen Financial Corporation issued the following statement in response to the ruling issued on March 4, 2021 by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on the company’s motion for summary judgment in the action pending with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Court granted judgment in Ocwen’s favor on 9 of the Bureau’s 10 counts regarding alleged servicing misconduct that occurred before February 26, 2017. If the CFPB seeks to pursue any claims under Counts 1-9 based on alleged servicing misconduct which occurred after February 26, 2017, the Court reserved ruling on Ocwen’s remaining grounds for summary judgment pending the CFPB’s submission of a supplemental statement identifying such claims and its evidence, if any. As to Count 10, the Court denied the Bureau’s motion for summary judgment because Ocwen credibly disputed the Bureau’s claims of misconduct as to the small subset of loans at issue for that count.

Ocwen Financial Reverse Stock Split May Assist to Regain and Maintain Compliance Ocwen Financial Corporation announced that its Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of authorized and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of one-for-15. The Company believes a reverse stock split may facilitate investment in its stock by potentially broadening the range of eligible institutional investors, increasing analyst and broker-dealer interest, and decreasing stock price volatility. The Company also believes that increased interest in the Company and its common stock may lead to an increase in the dollar trading volume and liquidity of its common stock. Additionally, as previously described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company was notified on April 8, 2020 by the NYSE that the average trading price per share of its common stock was below the NYSE’s continued listing standard rule relating to minimum average share price, and the Company must regain compliance with the NYSE’s share price standard by December 17, 2020. While Ocwen’s share price is currently above the minimum threshold price, by increasing the market price per share of the Company’s common stock, the reverse stock split may assist the Company in regaining and maintaining compliance with the NYSE’s minimum average share price requirement.
