Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 23, 2013, EverBank, a wholly owned subsidiary of EverBank Financial Corp (the "Corporation"), reached an agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency that would end its Independent Foreclosure Review programs mandated by the April 2011 Interagency Consent Order and replace it with an accelerated remediation process.
The agreement includes a cash payment to be made by EverBank equal to approximately $37 million, which would provide relief to qualified borrowers. In addition EverBank will contribute approximately $6 million to organizations certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development or other tax-exempt organizations that have as a principal mission providing affordable housing, foreclosure prevention and/or educational assistance to low and moderate income individuals and families.
The Corporation expects to record a non-recurring after-tax charge of approximately $20 million in the third quarter of 2013 to fully reserve for the cash payment portion of the settlement and remaining professional fees associated with the foreclosure review.
During the second quarter of 2013, the Corporation had total non-recurring foreclosure review costs of approximately $12 million, after-tax, including $9 million in third party professional fees.
