Item
5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements
of Certain Officers.
On
September 10, 2020, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors of Ocwen Financial Corporation (Ocwen
or the Company) granted one-time long-term incentive awards to certain of the Company’s executive officers and modified
components of the Company’s other compensation programs and arrangements.
The
one-time long-term incentive awards were granted in the form of a cash payment representing 70% of the award amount and cash-settled
restricted stock units representing 30% of the award amount, vesting in both instances 18 months from the grant date provided
the recipient remains employed on the vesting date, subject to certain conditions. Named executive officers received long-term
incentive awards in the following amounts: Scott Anderson, Chief Servicing Officer, $500,000; Timothy Yanoti, Chief Growth Officer,
$450,000; Dennis Zeleny, Chief Administrative Officer, $370,000; and June Campbell, Chief Financial Officer, $340,000.
The
Committee also approved a modification to the 2020 Annual Incentive Plan for all participating employees to provide that, in the
event of a change in control of the Company, 2020 Annual Incentive Plan compensation will be paid at the greater of actual or
target performance levels.
In
addition, on September 15, 2020, the Committee restored Chief Executive Officer Glen Messina’s incentive compensation targets
to the terms agreed to in his offer letter upon joining Ocwen in October 2018. In February 2019, in furtherance of the Company’s
cost re-engineering efforts, Mr. Messina volunteered to reduce his 2019 and 2020 target total compensation by approximately 20%
by reducing his annual cash target incentive from $1,350,000 to $1,125,000 and reducing his annual long-term incentive equity
target from a target value of $3,150,000 to $2,250,000. Mr. Messina’s annual cash incentive target will be restored on a
prorated basis for the remainder of the year effective October 1, 2020 and the restoration of his long-term equity target will
be effective for 2021. The Committee also provided that in the event Mr. Messina’s employment is terminated without cause,
or he resigns for good reason, within two years following a change in control of the Company, he will be entitled to severance
compensation equivalent to two years of base salary, target bonus, and COBRA benefits, in addition to continued bonus eligibility
as outlined in his offer letter.
The
Committee also approved a modification to Mr. Zeleny’s compensation arrangement pursuant to which his target total compensation
will be increased by 4%, or $42,500 annually, with a reduction in the proportion of compensation payable in restricted stock units
and an increase in the proportion payable as base salary and cash incentive compensation.
