Item 1.01

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 12, 2009, Ocwen Financial Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and Barclays Capital Inc. (as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, and together with such underwriters, the “Underwriters”) relating to the issuance and sale of 28,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”), at a per share price to the public of $9.00. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase all or any part of 4,200,000 additional shares of Common Stock on the same terms and conditions. On August 13, 2009, the Underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates have provided in the past to the Company and its affiliates and may provide from time to time in the future certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services for the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of our business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, from time to time, certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in our debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.

A copy of the Settlement Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
