Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 22, 2013, Oriental Bank (“Oriental”), the commercial banking subsidiary of OFG Bancorp (the “Company”), executed a letter agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC (“Bayview”) for the termination of the Omnibus Asset Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2010 (the “Servicing Agreement”), by and between Oriental and Bayview. As disclosed in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K, dated February 7, 2013, Oriental previously notified Bayview of its intention to terminate the Servicing Agreement effective May 1, 2013.  Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the termination is now effective May 31, 2013.  Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, Bayview services and manages certain single family, multi-family, and commercial mortgage loans and certain commercial construction loans (collectively, the “Assets”) acquired by Oriental from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as receiver for Eurobank, on April 30, 2010.

 

Oriental will pay Bayview a termination fee equal to the monthly base servicing fee paid to Bayview during the six-month period ending April 30, 2013.  The monthly base servicing fee is one twelfth of 0.855% of the unpaid principal balance of the Assets.  For the five months ended March 31, 2013, Oriental and Bayview agreed that the termination fee amounts to $3,134,792.  For April 2013, the termination fee will be based on the servicing fee for that month, as determined by Bayview and notified to Oriental.  The portion of termination fee based on the servicing fees for the five months ended March 31, 2013 will be due and payable by Oriental on or before May 15, 2013, and shall be conditioned to Bayview’s termination and transfer-related obligations under the Servicing Agreement.  The balance of the termination fee will be netted and retained by Bayview from funds in the Servicing Agreement’s custodial account and any remaining balance therein, less additional withdrawals and offsets as permitted by the Servicing Agreement, will be remitted to Oriental on or before June 18, 2013.
