During the subsequent earnings call, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) stated that “we were over-hedged, if you think of it that way, protecting against the Two Harbors transaction.” The CEO further stated that “[w]e don’t traditionally hedge our MSRs [Mortgage Servicing Rights]” but “when you’re going through and acquiring a company like Two Harbors and a massive MSR book . . . it created a little more risk. So [] we did put a hedge on to protect against that risk and then a lot of things happen[ed] . . . and then obviously, the Two Harbors transaction went away. And so a confluence of events that created a hedge loss.”
