Explanation of Responses:
(1)	Shares of issuer Common Stock acquired as a result of elections made by the reporting person pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement), dated as of February 12, 2018, by and among the issuer, Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. ("Nationstar") and Wand Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the issuer. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of Nationstar common stock held by the reporting person represented the right to receive the consideration described in the Merger Agreement (the "merger consideration") in the form elected by the reporting person.
(2)	(Continued From Footnote 1) Additionally, subject to certain exceptions, each outstanding Nationstar restricted stock unit held by the reporting person that was granted prior to February 12, 2018, whether vested or unvested, automatically vested in full, was assumed by the issuer and converted into a Restricted Stock Unit of the issuer ("RSU") entitling the reporting person to also receive upon settlement the merger consideration, as elected by the reporting person in accordance with the procedures set out in the Merger Agreement, based on the number of shares of Nationstar common stock underlying the number of Nationstar restricted stock unit awards as of immediately prior to the effective time of the merger.
(3)	The reporting person was initially granted restricted stock units representing a contingent right to receive one share of common stock of Nationstar pursuant to the Nationstar Second Amended and Restated 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan. In connection with the merger, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Nationstar restricted stock units granted after February 12, 2018 were automatically assumed and converted into RSUs representing a contingent right to receive one share of issuer Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) with respect to a number of issuer shares equal to the number of Nationstar restricted stock unit awards held by the reporting person immediately prior to the effective time of the merger multiplied by the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement (12.7793).
(4)	(Continued From Footnote 3) The RSUs have the same vesting and settlement schedule as the Nationstar restricted stock units which were assumed and converted. The RSUs vest over a three-year period, with 33% of the RSUs vesting on each of the first and second anniversaries and 34% vesting on the third anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the reporting person's continued service as an employee of the issuer.
(5)	Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of issuer's Common Stock.
