Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On February 22, 2012, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland (the “Bankruptcy Court”) issued a Memorandum of Decision and entered an Order Determining Count IV of the Complaint (the “Decision”) filed by Credit Suisse Securities (USA), LLC (“Credit Suisse”) against TMST, Inc. f/k/a Thornburg Mortgage, Inc., TMST Hedging Strategies, Inc. f/k/a Thornburg Hedging Strategies, Inc., and TMST Home Loans, Inc. f/k/a Thornburg Mortgage Home Loans, Inc. (collectively, the “Debtors”) on August 28, 2009 [Adv. Proc. No. 09-0574-DWK]. By operation of law, Joel I. Sher, Chapter 11 Trustee (the “Trustee”) for the Debtors was substituted as party Defendant following his appointment in October 2009. Count IV sought declaratory judgment on Credit Suisse’s interest in certain mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”), which were sold by the Trustee pursuant to court order on February 16, 2010. The Bankruptcy Court issued the Decision after conducting a three-day trial on February 1-3, 2011, solely on Count IV of the Complaint. In the Decision, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed its prior ruling that the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates hold approximately $16,882,896.95 plus earned interest, representing unpaid servicing fees and advances reimbursed by the purchaser as part of the MSR sale, free and clear of the lien held by Credit Suisse, and additionally determined that the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates are entitled to and hold 5% of the proceeds of the purchase price ($79,302,557.53) of the MSR sale free and clear of the lien held by Credit Suisse, approximately $3,965,127.00, plus earned interest, for a total recovery of approximately $20.8 million. The Decision does not resolve the remaining Counts in the Complaint and the Bankruptcy Court has scheduled a status conference for April 11, 2012 to address the same. The Trustee will continue to represent the interests of the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates with respect to these matters.
