Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report was filed by New Residential Investment Corp. (NRZ) on August 1, 2019. The filing addresses corporate actions related to equity compensation and capital raising mechanisms rather than periodic financial performance results.

- Resale Registration: 5,000 shares of common stock were registered for resale by selling stockholders.
Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the amendment to the Distribution Agreement governing the ATM Program. The amendment:
- Added new sales agents, including Credit Suisse, J.P. Morgan, Nomura, RBC Capital Markets, and Wells Fargo Securities.
- Restored the total available offering amount to the original $500 million cap.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management commentary is limited to the mechanics of the filings. The company noted that it will receive proceeds from the Option Plan only if awards are exercised or purchased for cash; no proceeds will be received from cashless exercises or the resale of shares by selling stockholders. No specific forward-looking guidance, risk factors, or contingencies regarding future financial performance were disclosed in this specific report.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current market price of NRZ common stock to assess the potential dilution from the registered option shares.
- Review the full text of the Amendment No. 1 to the Distribution Agreement (Exhibit 1.2) for specific terms regarding the new sales agents.
- Monitor future filings to track the actual volume of shares sold under the restored $500 million ATM program.
- Check the company's most recent 10-Q or 10-K for actual financial performance metrics, as this 8-K contains no operational data.
