Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 10, 2016, New Residential Investment Corp.

Morgan Securities LLC and UBS Securities LLC (collectively, the “Underwriters”). The following summary of certain provisions of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions expressed therein, the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $13.98 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company has granted the underwriters an option for 30 days to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $13.98 per share. The shares of common stock are being sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated August 10, 2016, and related prospectus, dated August 10, 2016, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, relating to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-213058).

The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. If the Company is unable to provide the required indemnification, the Company has agreed to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. In addition, the Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements of the Company and customary conditions to closing. The offering is expected to close on August 16, 2016, subject to the conditions stated in the Underwriting Agreement.
