Saxena White P.A. Files Securities Fraud Class Action Against Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd.

BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwired - Feb 13, 2015) -  Saxena White P.A. has filed a securities fraud class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. ("HLSS" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HLSS) on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock of the Company during the period from February 28, 2012 through January 22, 2015 (the "Class Period). 

HLSS acquires mortgage servicing assets. The Company invests primarily in sub-prime and Alt-A mortgage servicing rights and associated servicing advances, and hires residential loan servicers to service the pools of mortgage loans underlying the mortgage servicing rights. 

HLSS launched its operations in March 2012 with the proceeds from an initial public offering and a concurrent private placement to acquire a $15.2 billion mortgage servicing assets portfolio from Ocwen Financial Corporation ("Ocwen"). The private placement was facilitated by the Company's founder and former Chairman Defendant William C. Erbey, who until recently was also the Chairman of the Board of Directors for Ocwen. 

The existence of HLSS is dependent on its relationship with Ocwen. Ocwen is a financial services company engaged in the servicing and origination of mortgage loans, including standard residential and commercial servicing, special servicing, and asset management services. Ocwen owns a large loan portfolio consisting of conventional, government insured, and non-agency loans, including a large number of subprime loans. 

The Complaint brings forth claims for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects.

Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (i) that due to HLSS's dependency on Ocwen, any wrongful conduct on the part of Ocwen would directly affect HLSS; (ii) material information regarding illegal practices and various compliance failures in Ocwen's servicing business; (iii) material information regarding improper conflicted transactions with Ocwen; (iv) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; (v) that Ocwen was under investigation for violating applicable federal and state regulations and laws, including among other things, the New York Department of Financial Services' and the state of California's investigation of Ocwen; (vi) the Company was in breach of provisions of its notes held by BlueMountain Capital Management, LLC; (vii) the Company faced material risks if it defaults on its notes, and (viii) as a result of the above, the Company's financial statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
