Front Yard Residential Responds to Snow Park’s Ill-Informed Characterization of Amended Asset Management Agreement

Front Yard Residential Corporation (“Front Yard” or the “Company”)
(NYSE: RESI) today responded to the ill-informed and misleading
assertions from Snow Park Capital Partners, LP, together with its
affiliates (“Snow Park”), regarding the amended and restated asset
management agreement (the “Amended AMA”) the Company entered into with
Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC”).

Front Yard believes that Snow Park lacks a fundamental understanding of
our business and how external management agreements are structured, as
well as the broader single-family rental (“SFR”) sector.

Below are the facts:

1) The Amended AMA maximizes Front Yard’s flexibility and
ensures the Company has the ability to pursue disciplined growth for the
long-term.

Snow Park appears to have misinterpreted the Amended AMA entirely. The
Amended AMA provides Front Yard with an improved fee structure that
incentivizes both performance and disciplined growth. In fact, it is
designed to build long-term stockholder value by enabling Front Yard to
increase scale and take advantage of the exceptional opportunity in the
affordable SFR sector while prioritizing near-term profitability
targets. It also ensures that G&A expenses as a percentage of real
estate assets fall as we grow. Specifically, the Amended AMA:

• Does NOT increase fees paid to AAMC until Front Yard reaches
  its stated target of $0.15 per share of quarterly Adjusted Funds From
  Operations (“AFFO”);
• Decreases the management fees as a percentage of gross real estate
  assets as Front Yard grows to bring Front Yard’s G&A in line with
  larger industry peers;
• Provides that no Incentive Fee is payable to AAMC until Front Yard
  achieves $0.60 per share of annual AFFO;
• Employs an “Aggregate Fee Cap” to further ensure that G&A remains in
  line with market;
• Further aligns interests with stockholders by incentivizing the
  manager to grow cash flow;
• Provides the option to terminate the Amended AMA at any time for a
  reasonable, market-based termination fee; and
• Reduces cost of raising new capital.

2) The market reacted highly favorably to the news of the
Amended AMA.

The announcement of the Amended AMA has been well received by the
market, our stockholders and the analysts that understand our business
best. Front Yard’s stock price is up approximately 10% since the
announcement of the Amended AMA on May 8, 2019. Snow Park’s assessment
of the Amended AMA is simply inconsistent with the market’s reaction.

3) Amended AMA was structured to create long-term stockholder
value.

Renegotiating the asset management agreement with AAMC has been a key
strategic priority for Front Yard’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
The Amended AMA represents the culmination of more than seven months of
deliberations between AAMC and a committee of Front Yard’s independent
directors. The committee of independent directors met over 30 times and
was advised by leading independent financial and legal advisors.

The Board took into account a number of different metrics, including
TSR, in renegotiating the fee structure and determined that gross real
estate assets and gross return on shareholder equity were consistent
with industry norms and would align AAMC’s interests with those of Front
Yard’s stockholders.

4) Snow Park is highly conflicted and not a “true owner” of
Front Yard given its significant stake in AAMC and substantial short
position in Front Yard.

Snow Park’s interests are not aligned with Front Yard’s stockholders.
Despite claiming ownership of 606,622 shares of Front Yard, Snow Park
admits in its proxy statement that it also “has a short interest in
450,000 shares,” meaning that Snow Park’s economic exposure is
substantially less than 1%. When compared to Snow Park’s over 5%
interest in AAMC, it is clear that Snow Park’s interests are not aligned
with those of Front Yard’s stockholders. Snow Park acknowledges its
possible conflict of interest in its proxy statement, which states:
“Snow Park does not presently believe that its ownership of AAMC
securities creates a conflict of interest; however, it acknowledges that
in the future conflicts of interest could arise due to potential
competing economic interests between AAMC and Front Yard.”
