ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE APPOINTMENT OF MS. LENEHAN

Based on information provided by Ms. Lenehan, the Board has determined that Ms. Lenehan has no material relationship with the Company and is “independent” for purposes of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listing standards. Our Board also determined that Ms. Lenehan satisfies the audit committee independence standards under applicable rules of the NYSE and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

As of the date of this Supplement, Ms. Lenehan does not beneficially own any shares of New Residential common stock (“Common Stock”).

WITHDRAWAL OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL

The proponents of Proposal No. 4, a non-binding stockholder proposal requesting a report on board diversity, have withdrawn the proposal.  New Residential will hold the Annual Meeting as previously scheduled, and Proposal No. 4 will not be presented or voted upon at the Annual Meeting.  None of the other agenda items presented in the Proxy Statement are affected by this Supplement.

VOTING MATTERS

This supplement does not change any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, which are described in the Proxy Statement, other than the withdrawal of Proposal No. 4. As a stockholder, your vote is very important, and the Board encourages you to exercise your right to vote whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting. We will not make available or distribute, and you do not need to submit, a new proxy card or provide new voting instructions solely as a result of the withdrawal of Proposal No. 4. Proxies and voting instructions already returned by stockholders (via Internet, telephone or mail) will remain valid and will be voted on all matters, other than Proposal No. 4, at the Annual Meeting unless revoked, and any votes received on Proposal No. 4 will not be tabulated. If you have not yet returned your proxy card or submitted your voting instructions, please return the proxy card or provide voting instructions, disregarding Proposal No. 4.
