General Information

We have made this proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) available to you on or about May 28, 2020 as a holder of common stock of Front Yard Residential Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“we,” “our,” “Front Yard” or the “Company”) because our Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to be exercised at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and at any postponement or adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will be held via live webcast on Monday, June 22, 2020 at 8:30 a.m., Eastern Time. The Annual Meeting can be accessed by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RESI2020AM, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote online. We encourage you to allow ample time for online check-in, which will open at 8:25 a.m., Eastern Time. Please note that you will not be able to attend the virtual Annual Meeting in person.

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to (1) consider and vote upon the election of eight (8) Directors to serve until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and/or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, (2) ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to be our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020, and (3) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement.

If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote in accordance with their discretion on such matters.

Proxies to be exercised at the Annual Meeting are being solicited by and on behalf of our Board of Directors.

Proxy Materials

On or about June 3, 2020, we will mail the proxy materials consisting of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and our Annual Report to Stockholders (the “Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2019. We also expect our proxy documents to be made available to stockholders on or about May 28, 2020 through the Shareholders link on our website at www.frontyardresidential.com or through www.proxyvote.com. Our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 was filed with the SEC and made available on our website on February 28, 2020.

Stockholders of Record. If your shares are registered in your own name, you will receive a full set of the proxy documents in the mail. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to vote at the Annual Meeting via the virtual meeting website or to be represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The Company has enclosed a proxy card for you to use. You may also submit voting instructions via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the proxy card.

Beneficial Stockholders. If your shares are not registered in your name, you should receive proxy materials and a voting instruction form from your bank or broker. We recommend that you contact your bank or broker if you do not receive these instructions. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other holder of record how to vote your shares by using the voting instructions you received.

Voting Procedures

You may vote by attending the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RESI2020AM, by completing and returning a proxy by mail or by using the Internet or telephone. You may submit your proxy by mail by marking your vote on the enclosed proxy card, then following the instructions on the card. To submit your proxy using the Internet or by telephone, see the instructions on the proxy card and have the proxy card available when you access the Internet website or place your telephone call. If you are authorizing a proxy to vote your shares over the Internet or by telephone, you will need to provide the control number that is printed on the proxy card that you receive.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a bank or broker and wish to vote at the virtual Annual Meeting, you will need to provide the control number that is printed on the proxy card that you receive when you attend the Annual Meeting via the virtual meeting website.

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you authorize a proxy to vote your shares in advance of the Annual Meeting as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

How a Proxy Works

All valid proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted in accordance with the directions on the proxies, unless such proxies have previously been revoked. If you submit a proxy card with no voting direction indicated, the shares will be voted as the Board recommends, which is as follows:

•	“FOR ALL” of the eight (8) nominees to the Board listed in this Proxy Statement and on the proxy card (Proposal One);

•	“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020 (Proposal Two); and

•	“FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement (Proposal Three).

With regard to any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, each proxy received will be voted in the discretion of the persons appointed as proxies.

By returning a signed proxy card by mail or by duly submitting a proxy by Internet or telephone, you will confer discretionary authority on the named proxies to vote on any other business that properly comes before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof for which discretionary authority is permitted. The persons named on the proxy card as proxies or their substitutes will vote or act in their discretion with respect to such other matters. Any such matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast.

How to Revoke or Change a Proxy

You have the power to revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by:

•	filing a timely written notice of revocation with our Corporate Secretary at the following address:

Michael G. Lubin, Corporate Secretary

Front Yard Residential Corporation

c/o Altisource Asset Management Corporation

5100 Tamarind Reef

Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820

•	submitting a new, properly executed proxy card bearing a later date;

•	voting again via the Internet or telephone; or

•	attending the Annual Meeting via the virtual meeting website and voting at the meeting. Attending the live webcast of the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a properly executed proxy; you must vote at the Annual Meeting online via the virtual meeting website.

If your shares are held by a bank or broker and you have instructed such bank or broker to vote your shares, you must follow directions received from your bank or broker to change those instructions.

Who May Vote

You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof if you are a holder of record of our common stock at the close of business on June 3, 2020, the record date for the Annual Meeting. Each share of our common stock is entitled to cast one (1) vote at the Annual Meeting on all matters properly presented.

We are commencing our solicitation of proxies on or about May 28, 2020, which is before the record date. We will continue to solicit proxies until the date of the Annual Meeting. On or about June 3, 2020, we will begin mailing the proxy materials to stockholders of record as of the record date. Proxies delivered prior to the record date will be valid and effective so long as the stockholder providing the proxy is a stockholder on the record date. If you are not a holder of record on the record date, any proxy you deliver will not be counted. If you deliver a proxy prior to the record date and remain a holder on the record date, you do not need to deliver another proxy after the record date. If you deliver a proxy prior to the record date and do not revoke that proxy, your proxy will be deemed to cover the number of shares you own on the record date even if that number is different from the number of shares you owned when you executed and delivered your proxy.

Quorum and Voting Information

The presence at the Annual Meeting of a majority of the votes of our common stock entitled to be cast, represented via the virtual meeting website or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, or, with regard to the election of Directors, “WITHHOLD” votes, and broker “non-votes,” if any, will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a bank or broker, your bank or broker, as the record holder of the shares, must vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. Generally, in an uncontested election, and in accordance with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), certain matters submitted to a vote of stockholders are considered by the NYSE to be “routine” items upon which brokerage firms may vote in their discretion on behalf of their customers if such customers have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period prior to the meeting. However, when a beneficial owner of shares held by a bank, broker or other nominee fails to provide the record holder with voting instructions, and such organization lacks the discretionary voting power to vote those shares with respect to a particular “non-routine” proposal, a “broker non-vote” occurs.

To vote your shares, you will need to follow the directions your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee provides you. You should instruct your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee to vote your shares by following the voting instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee. Please contact your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee for further information.

Proposal One – Election of Directors: Assuming a quorum, each of the eight (8) nominees for Director will be elected as Directors of the Company by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting via the virtual meeting website or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. You may vote “FOR ALL” or “WITHHOLD ALL” for the nominees, or “FOR ALL EXCEPT” and specify the nominees from whom you withhold your vote. A properly executed proxy withheld with regard to the election of one or more Directors will not be voted with regard to the Director or Directors indicated. “Plurality” means that the eight (8) individuals who receive the greatest number of votes cast “FOR” are elected as Directors. Cumulative voting in the election of Directors is not permitted.

A decision to withhold your vote as to all nominees or to withhold your vote with respect to a specific nominee will not be counted in the votes cast in connection with Proposal One and will have no effect on the results of the vote on Proposal One.

Proposal Two – Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm: Assuming a quorum, the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on Proposal Two.

Abstentions will not be counted in determining the votes cast in connection with Proposal Two and will have no effect on the results of the vote on Proposal Two.

3

---

Proposal Three – Approval, on an advisory basis, of the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as Disclosed in the Proxy Statement: Assuming a quorum, the proposal to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting. You may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” on Proposal Three.

Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will not be counted in determining the votes cast in connection with Proposal Three and will have no effect on the results of the vote on Proposal Three.

The below table summarizes the voting requirements to elect Directors and to approve each of the proposals in this Proxy Statement:

Proposal				Vote Required
1.		Election of Directors		Plurality of votes cast
2.		Ratification of Ernst & Young LLP		Majority of votes cast
3.		Approval of executive compensation on an advisory basis		Majority of votes cast

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote as follows:

•	“FOR ALL” of the eight (8) nominees to the Board listed in this Proxy Statement and on the proxy card (Proposal One);

•	“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020 (Proposal Two); and

•	“FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement (Proposal Three).

Any properly authorized proxy as to which no instructions are given will be voted in accordance with the foregoing recommendations.

Costs of Solicitation

We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies by the Company. In addition to mail and e-mail, proxies may be solicited personally, via the Internet or by telephone or facsimile by our Directors, officers and employees without additional compensation. We will reimburse brokers and other persons holding stock in their names, or in the names of nominees, for their expenses for forwarding proxy materials to principals and beneficial owners and obtaining their proxies. We have hired Innisfree M&A Incorporated (“Innisfree”), 501 Madison Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10022 to assist us in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of up to $15,000 plus out-of-pocket expenses.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

(Proposal One)

Our Charter and Bylaws provide that that the number of our Directors will be fixed by a majority of our entire Board of Directors but may not be fewer than the minimum required under the Maryland General Corporation Law, which is one, nor more than fifteen. Currently we have eight (8) members of our Board of Directors.

The eight (8) nominees listed below for election as Directors at the Annual Meeting have been recommended by our Nomination/Governance Committee and nominated by our Board of Directors to serve on the Board until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and/or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

All of the Company’s nominees currently serve as our Directors. There are no arrangements or understandings between any of the Company’s nominees and any other person for selection as a nominee.

If any of the Company’s nominees are unable or unwilling to stand for election at the time of the Annual Meeting, the person or persons appointed as proxies will vote for a replacement nominee or nominees recommended by our Board of Directors.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors plays an active role in overseeing management and representing the interests of our stockholders. Directors are asked to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors and the meetings of committees on which they serve. Directors are also consulted for advice and counsel between formal meetings.

Our Board of Directors held ten (10) meetings in 2019. In 2019, no incumbent director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of Board and applicable Committee meetings (held during the period that such director served). The Board of Directors also regularly held executive sessions of the independent Directors. While we do not have a formal policy regarding Director attendance at the Annual Meeting, all of the incumbent members of our Board of Directors attended the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Independence of Directors

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that our Board of Directors must be comprised of a majority of Directors who qualify as independent Directors under the standards of the NYSE.

Our Board of Directors annually reviews the direct and indirect relationships that we have with each Director. The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such transactions or relationships are inconsistent with a determination that the Director is independent. Only those Directors who are determined by our Board of Directors to have no material relationship with the Company and otherwise qualify as independent under applicable SEC and NYSE rules are considered independent. This determination is based in part on the analysis of questionnaire responses that follow the independence standards and qualifications established by NYSE rules and federal securities law. Our current Board of Directors has determined that Mses. Dobbs and Fox and Messrs. Abrams, Eruzione, Henderson, McDowell and Nikolic are independent Directors. The Board of Directors also previously reached this independence determination for Mr. David B. Reiner, who retired from the Board of Directors on May 23, 2019.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board of Directors has no fixed policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Chair of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Directors retains the discretion to make this determination on a case-by-case basis from time to time as it deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at any given time. The Board of Directors currently believes that separating the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors is the best structure to fit our needs. Mr. Ellison is our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Ellison is responsible for our day-to-day operations and for formulating and executing our long-term strategies in collaboration with and under the oversight of the Board of Directors. As Chair of the Board of Directors, Ms. Dobbs leads the Board and oversees meetings of the Board of Directors and the delivery of information necessary for the Board’s informed decision-making.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

We recognize the importance of aligning our Board’s interests with those of our stockholders. As a result, the Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines for all of our Directors. Under these guidelines, each Director is expected to accumulate, by July 1, 2021 (or, for Directors that joined after the adoption of such guidelines, by July 1 of the fifth year following the year of becoming a Director), Company stock having a fair market value equal to five times such Director’s annual base cash retainer for acting as a Director. For purposes of these guidelines, shares held in trust or retirement accounts, deferred stock units and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) count toward the ownership guidelines. Each Director is expected to retain 100% of the net after-tax shares received upon vesting and exercise of equity incentive awards until the guidelines are satisfied.

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nomination/ Governance Committee. A brief description of these committees is provided below.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors oversees the relationship with our independent registered public accounting firm, reviews and advises our Board of Directors with respect to reports by our independent registered public accounting firm and monitors our compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our operations, including the evaluation of significant matters relating to the financial reporting process and our system of accounting, internal controls, auditing and federal securities law matters and the review of the scope and results of the annual audit conducted by the independent registered public accounting firm.

The members of the Audit Committee since June 2019 have been Ms. Dobbs and Messrs. Abrams and McDowell, and Mr. McDowell has served as the Chair of the Audit Committee since March 2018. Each member of our Audit Committee is independent as defined in regulations adopted by the SEC and NYSE listing standards. Our Board of Directors has determined that all members of our Audit Committee are financially literate and possess accounting or related financial management expertise. Our Board of Directors has also determined that each of Mr. Abrams and Mr. McDowell qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as that term is defined in SEC rules. The Audit Committee met eight (8) times in 2019.

Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at www.frontyardresidential.com and is available in print to any stockholder who requests it. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee will review and approve its charter. The Audit Committee will also evaluate its performance under its charter annually and deliver a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The charter was last reviewed by the Audit Committee in June 2019 and is expected to be reviewed and approved in the meeting of the Audit Committee scheduled for June 2020.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors oversees the compensation of our Directors and the Company's executive compensation and equity-based plans. Our executive officers are employed by our asset manager, AAMC. Because our executive officers are employed by our asset manager, AAMC, the Compensation Committee does not determine or approve the compensation of our executive officers other than the compensation paid to our dedicated General Counsel and certain awards made under the Company's equity incentive plans.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain independent counsel or other advisers at our expense as the Compensation Committee deems necessary in connection with its responsibilities. The Compensation Committee may request that any of our Directors, officers or other persons attend its meetings to provide advice, counsel or pertinent information as the Committee requests.

The members of the Compensation Committee since June 2019 have been Ms. Dobbs and Messrs. Eruzione and McDowell. Ms. Dobbs has served as the Chair of the Compensation Committee since June 2019. Each member of the Compensation Committee is independent as defined by NYSE listing standards. While we have no specific qualification requirements for members of the Compensation Committee, the members of the Compensation Committee have knowledge and experience regarding compensation matters as developed through their respective business experience in both management and advisory roles, including general business management, executive compensation and employee benefits experience. The Compensation Committee met four (4) times in 2019.

Our Compensation Committee operates under a written charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at www.frontyardresidential.com and is available in print to any stockholder who requests it. On an annual basis, the Compensation Committee will review and approve its charter. The Compensation Committee will also evaluate its performance under its charter annually and deliver a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The charter was last reviewed by the Compensation Committee in June 2019 and is expected to be reviewed and approved in the meeting of the Compensation Committee scheduled for June 2020.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the year ended December 31, 2019 and as of the date of this Proxy Statement, none of the members of the Compensation Committee was or is an officer or employee of the Company or had any relationship requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K, and no executive officer of the Company served or serves on the compensation committee or board of any company that employed or employs any member of the Company’s Compensation Committee or Board.

Nomination/Governance Committee. The Nomination/Governance Committee of our Board of Directors makes recommendations to our Board of Directors of individuals qualified to serve as Directors and committee members for our Board of Directors; advises our Board of Directors with respect to Board of Directors composition, procedures and committees; develops and recommends to the Board of Directors a set of corporate governance principles and oversees the evaluation of our Board of Directors and our management.

The members of the Nomination/Governance Committee since June 2019 have been Ms. Fox and Messrs. Eruzione and Henderson. Mr. Henderson has served as the Chair of the Nomination/Governance Committee since June 2019. Each member of our Nomination/Governance Committee is independent as defined in NYSE listing standards. The Nomination/Governance Committee met three (3) times in 2019.

Our Nomination/Governance Committee operates under a written charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website at www.frontyardresidential.com and is available in print to any stockholder who requests it. On an annual basis, the Nomination/Governance Committee will review and approve its charter. The Nomination/Governance Committee will also evaluate its performance under its charter annually and deliver a report to the Board setting forth the results of its evaluation, including an assessment of the adequacy of its charter and any recommendations for amendments. The charter was last reviewed by the Nomination/Governance Committee in June 2019 and is expected to be reviewed and approved in the meeting of the Nomination/Governance Committee scheduled for June 2020.

It is the policy of our Nomination/Governance Committee to consider candidates for Director recommended by you, our stockholders. In evaluating all nominees for Director, our Nomination/Governance Committee will take into account the applicable requirements for Directors under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and NYSE listing standards. In addition, our Nomination/Governance Committee will take into account the Company’s best interests as well as such factors as knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, diversity and the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the background of other members of our Board of Directors.

The Nomination/Governance Committee will consider diversity when it recommends Director nominees to the Board of Directors, viewing diversity in an expansive way to include differences in prior work experience, viewpoint, education and skill set. In particular, the Nomination/Governance Committee will consider diversity in professional experience, skills, expertise, training, broad-based business knowledge and understanding of the Company’s business environment when recommending Director nominees to the Board of Directors, with the objective of achieving a Board with diverse business and educational backgrounds. Directors should have individual backgrounds that, when combined, provide a portfolio of experience and knowledge that will serve the Company’s governance and strategic needs. The Nomination/Governance Committee will periodically review the skills and attributes of Board members within the context of the current make-up of the full Board of Directors as the Nomination/Governance Committee deems appropriate. The Nomination/Governance Committee does not discriminate against candidates for the Board of Directors based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation or national origin.

The Nomination/Governance Committee will periodically assess the appropriate size of the Board of Directors and whether any vacancies on the Board of Directors are anticipated. Various potential candidates for Director will then be identified. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nomination/Governance Committee through current members of the Board of Directors, professional search firms, legal and financial advisors, stockholders or industry sources.

In connection with this evaluation, one or more members of the Nomination/Governance Committee, and others as appropriate, may request an interview of prospective nominees. After completing this interview and evaluation, the Nomination/Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the full Board of Directors as to the persons, if any, who should be nominated by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will determine the nominees after

11

---

considering the recommendation of the Nomination/Governance Committee. Should a stockholder recommend a candidate for Director, our Nomination/Governance Committee would evaluate such candidate in the same manner that it evaluates any other nominee.

If you want to recommend persons for consideration by our Nomination/Governance Committee as nominees for election to our Board of Directors, you can do so by writing to our Corporate Secretary at c/o Altisource Asset Management Corporation, 5100 Tamarind Reef, Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820. You should provide each proposed nominee’s name, biographical data and qualifications. Your recommendation should also include a written statement from the proposed nominee consenting to be named as a nominee and, if nominated and elected, to serve as a Director.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Corporate Governance Guidelines adopted by our Board of Directors provide guidelines for us and our Board of Directors to ensure effective corporate governance. The Corporate Governance Guidelines cover topics such as Director qualification standards, Board of Directors and committee composition, Director responsibilities, Director access to management and independent advisors, Director compensation, Director orientation and continuing education, management succession and annual performance appraisal of the Board of Directors.

Our Nomination/Governance Committee reviews our Corporate Governance Guidelines at least once a year and, if necessary, recommends changes to our Board of Directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our website at www.frontyardresidential.com and are available to any stockholder who requests them by writing to our Corporate Secretary at c/o Altisource Asset Management Corporation, 5100 Tamarind Reef, Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820.

Communications with Directors

If you desire to contact our Board of Directors or any individual Director regarding Front Yard, you may do so by mail addressed to our Corporate Secretary at c/o Altisource Asset Management Corporation, 5100 Tamarind Reef, Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820. All stockholder communications received in writing are distributed to our Board of Directors if addressed to the full Board or to individual Directors if addressed to them individually.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our Directors and executive officers, including our principal executive officer. We also adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers that applies to our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Any waivers from the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers must be approved by our Board of Directors or the Audit Committee and will be subsequently disclosed when required by SEC or applicable exchange rules. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are available on our website at www.frontyardresidential.com and is available to any stockholder who requests a copy by writing to our Corporate Secretary at c/o Altisource Asset Management Corporation, 5100 Tamarind Reef, Christiansted, United States Virgin Islands 00820. Any amendments to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or the Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed under SEC or exchange rules, will either be posted on our website at www.frontyardresidential.com or otherwise disclosed in accordance with such rules.

Risk Management and Oversight Process

Our Board of Directors and each of its committees are involved with the oversight of the Company’s risk management.

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee monitor Front Yard’s credit risk, liquidity risk, regulatory risk, operational risk, cybersecurity risk and enterprise risk by regular reviews with management and internal and external auditors. In its periodic meetings with internal and external auditors, the Audit Committee discusses the scope and plan for the internal audit and includes management in its review of accounting and financial controls, assessment of business risks and legal and ethical compliance programs.

12

---

In its periodic meetings with the external auditors, the Audit Committee discusses the external audit scope, the external auditors’ responsibility under the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), accounting policies and practices and other required communications. In addition, through regular reviews with management and, at times, certain employees of AAMC, the Nomination/Governance Committee assists the Board of Directors in monitoring the Company’s governance and succession risks, and the Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in monitoring our compensation policies and related risks.

The Board of Directors’ role in risk oversight is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure, and our Chair, the Board of Directors and its committees providing oversight in connection with these efforts. Our Investment Committee, which is comprised of our Chair, another independent director, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure with respect to transactional and counterparty risk.

____________________

(1)

On August 12, 2019, Mses. Dobbs and Fox and Messrs. Abrams, Eruzione, Henderson, McDowell and Nikolic, being the non-management members of the Board of Directors serving as of such date, were each awarded 7,136 RSUs under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan for their service to the Board for the 2019-2020 service year. Upon vesting, the RSUs settle for shares of common stock upon the earlier of the third anniversary of the grant date and the termination of the director’s service, subject to acceleration or forfeiture. The number of RSUs awarded was determined by dividing $80,000 by a share price of $11.21, which was the closing sales price of our common stock on the NYSE on August 12, 2019 and represents the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718.

(2)	As of December 31, 2019, each of Mses. Dobbs and Fox and Messrs. Abrams, Eruzione, Henderson, McDowell and Nikolic had 7,136 RSUs outstanding.

(3)	Mr. Reiner stepped down as a Director of Front Yard on May 23, 2019.

Cash Compensation

The Company’s Director compensation plan provides the following cash compensation to our non-management Directors in quarterly installments, paid in arrears for their services for the prior quarter:

•	an annual retainer of $60,000;

•	an additional $75,000 to the Chair of the Board of Directors;

•	an additional $15,000 to the Audit Committee chairperson;

•	an additional $10,000 to all committee chairpersons (other than the Audit Committee chairperson); and

•	an additional $6,500 to all committee members, including the committee chairperson.

In addition, the Company’s Directors may receive additional compensation for service on special committees. In 2019, each of Ms. Dobbs and Mr. McDowell received $45,000, Mr. Reiner received $25,500 and Ms. Fox and Mr. Nikolic received $19,500 for service on special committees.

Equity Compensation

The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan was approved at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 23, 2019, which superseded the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan is described below in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Equity Awards – Description of the Company's Equity Incentive Plans.”

Our non-management Directors receive annual grants of RSUs issued under the Company’s equity incentive plans. These RSUs are eligible for settlement in the number of shares of our common stock having a fair market value of $80,000 on the date of grant for the 2019-2020 service year ($75,000 for the 2018-2019 service year and $60,000 for the 2017-2018 service year). “Fair Market Value” is defined under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan as the closing price per share of our common stock in the principal market in which our common stock is traded. RSUs are

14

---

expected to be granted after each annual organizational meeting of the Board of Directors, which typically follows the Annual Meeting. The RSUs vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of grant and the first annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders occurring immediately after the date of grant, with distribution mandatorily deferred for an additional two years thereafter (subject to earlier distribution upon the applicable Director’s separation from the Board of Directors). Our non-management Directors accumulate RSUs earned as equity compensation on a tax-deferred basis until the earlier of the third anniversary of the grant of the RSUs or the applicable Director’s separation from the Board of Directors. The awards are expected to be issued together with dividend equivalent rights. In respect of dividends paid to our stockholders prior to the vesting date, dividend equivalent rights accumulate and are paid in a lump sum in cash following the vesting date, contingent on the vesting of the underlying award. During any period thereafter when the award is vested but remains subject to settlement, dividend equivalent rights are paid in cash on the same timeline as underlying dividends are actually paid to our stockholders. The awards may, in the future, be eligible for additional deferral at the election of each non-management Director.

Other Compensation

Directors are reimbursed for reasonable travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.

Any Director compensation may be prorated for a Director serving less than a full one (1) year term as in the case of a Director joining the Board of Directors after an Annual Meeting but during the service year.

Mr. Dittrich is a licensed CPA and has a Bachelor degree and a Masters degree in Business from Zurich University, Switzerland.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Our executive officers are employed by our asset manager, AAMC. Certain of our day-to-day management functions are performed by AAMC pursuant to an asset management agreement between AAMC and us, as described more fully in “Business Relationships and Related Party Transactions.” Pursuant to the asset management agreement, AAMC provides us with a management team, including a Chief Executive Officer, and is responsible for the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and AAMC’s other executive officers who provide services to us. Our named executive officers are, Mr. Ellison, our Chief Executive Officer; Mr. Lowe, our Chief Financial Officer; Mr. Gray, our Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Counsel; Mr. Lubin, our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary; and Mr. Dittrich, our Chief Accounting Officer. With the exception of Mr. Lubin and a onetime special bonus in the amount of $150,000 paid to Mr. Gray for service in 2019 (the “2019 Special Bonus”), our named executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, do not receive cash compensation from us for services rendered to us. We appointed Michael G. Lubin as our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary effective January 18, 2016. Mr. Lubin’s compensation and the 2019 Special Bonus paid to Mr. Gray were determined by our Compensation Committee. Mr. Lubin is paid by a subsidiary of AAMC, but his entire compensation and benefits are reimbursed by Front Yard.

On March 29, 2019, service-based and market-based RSUs were granted to certain employees of AAMC, including Messrs. Ellison, Lowe, Gray and Lubin, and only service-based RSUs were granted to Mr. Dittrich, pursuant to the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. We did not provide any of our named executive officers with pension benefits, perquisites or other personal benefits in 2019; however, we did reimburse AAMC for certain benefits payable to Mr. Lubin.

Pay for Performance

The executive compensation program (i.e., salary, annual cash incentive and equity compensation for Mr. Lubin and equity compensation for the other named executive officers) is designed to support our pay-for-performance philosophy and maximize long-term stockholder value by directly aligning the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders:

•	100% of pay is provided in the form of at-risk equity compensation (except for the 2019 Special Bonus paid to Mr. Gray and the compensation of our General Counsel, Michael Lubin, for whom we reimburse base salary and cash incentive compensation and pay at-risk equity compensation).

•	50% of equity grant value is performance-contingent, with earn-out requiring strong and sustained total stockholder return (“TSR”) growth before any value can be realized by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Administrative Officer or General Counsel.

•	The value of our officers’ annual equity awards is generally targeted near the median of our peer group.

We believe the executive compensation program is working as intended.

Say on Pay Vote

Since the inception of the executive compensation program, we have received consistently strong stockholder support. Our advisory vote to ratify named executive officers' compensation (i.e., our Say on Pay vote) passed with 97.6% stockholder support at the 2017 annual stockholder meeting, 98.5% stockholder support at the 2018 annual stockholder meeting, and 98.6% stockholder support at the 2019 annual stockholder meeting. We considered the 2017, 2018 and 2019 stockholder vote, our pay-for-performance philosophy, peer data, as well as well as other factors and decided to maintain our executive compensation program for 2019. We will continue to consider our stockholders’ input in various facets of our business, including executive compensation.

Compensation Consultant

To further the objectives of our executive compensation program, our Compensation Committee conducted an analysis of the compensation levels of our named executive officers in conjunction with an independent compensation consultant, F.W. Cook & Co. (“F.W. Cook”). F.W. Cook provided research, data analyses, survey information and design expertise in assisting with the development of the Company’s equity compensation program. A representative of F.W. Cook attended multiple meetings of the Compensation Committee, where guidance was provided on (i) the size of a competitive annual equity budget; (ii) competitive individual annual grant values, awards types, vesting provisions and the design of performance-based awards; and (iii) the competitiveness of total compensation opportunities for our named executive officers, based on the compensation practices of a peer group made up of companies of similar size and business focus to Front Yard (listed below). The Compensation Committee considered the information provided by F.W. Cook prior to making its determination regarding the equity compensation of our named executive officers.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Chief Executive Officer is involved in the design and implementation of our executive compensation under the Company's equity incentive plan and is typically present at Compensation Committee meetings, except that the Chief Executive Officer is not present during any voting or deliberations on his equity compensation. In 2019, based on the analysis and recommendations of F.W. Cook, the Chief Executive Officer made recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding proposed equity awards for our named executive officers (other than himself, whose award was proposed by the Compensation Committee). The Compensation Committee exercises its discretion in accepting, rejecting and/or modifying any such executive compensation recommendations and approves all awards under the Company's equity incentive plan. Mr. Ellison was also involved with and recommended Mr. Lubin’s 2019 year-end incentive compensation and Mr. Gray's 2019 Special Bonus for consideration and approval by the Compensation Committee.

Cash Compensation

In 2019, we did not pay any cash compensation directly to any of our named executive officers with the exception of Mr. Lubin and Mr. Gray. As noted above, Mr. Lubin is paid by a subsidiary of AAMC, but his entire cash compensation and benefits are reimbursed by Front Yard. The 2019 Special Bonus received by Mr. Gray was also paid by AAMC and reimbursed by Front Yard.

18

---

Our named executive officers are officers of AAMC and received their cash compensation in 2019 directly from AAMC. AAMC makes decisions relating to the cash compensation of our named executive officers, other than Mr. Lubin, based on such factors as AAMC and its Compensation Committee determines are appropriate. The AAMC Compensation Committee and AAMC management have the authority to establish incentive compensation award guidelines.

The current compensation package for Mr. Lubin consists of base salary and annual incentive compensation. For 2019, Mr. Lubin’s base salary was $350,000, and Mr. Lubin had a targeted annual cash incentive award that is expressed as a percentage of his annual cash total compensation of 40% to 55%.  AAMC’s annual incentive-based cash compensation is structured to motivate executives to achieve pre-established key performance indicators, including the corporate goals for Front Yard discussed below, by rewarding the executives for such achievement. For 2019, the Compensation Committee of Front Yard approved cash incentive compensation to Mr. Lubin of $350,000, which represented 50% of his total cash compensation for 2019.

The Company’s Compensation Committee reviews the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer with respect to Mr. Lubin’s annual incentive compensation and can determine to amend such annual incentive compensation based on such factors as it determines are appropriate, including market information and individual performance. In coming to his recommendation to the Compensation Committee regarding Mr. Lubin’s 2019 annual incentive compensation, the Chief Executive Officer considered Mr. Lubin’s contribution to achieving certain key corporate objectives, including (a) the successful renegotiation of the asset management agreement between Front Yard and AAMC, (b) management of an effective strategic alternative review process, (c) the successful settlement of a putative shareholder class action complaint originally filed in 2015, (d) the accelerated completion of the internalization of Front Yard's property management for the approximately 8,000 rental properties that were previously externally managed and (e) further optimization of Front Yard’s debt facilities to cap and/or fix interest rate exposure. As Mr. Lubin is the sole named executive officer whose compensation is typically reimbursed by Front Yard, the Company does not have a separate corporate scorecard solely for Mr. Lubin.

Front Yard’s Chief Executive Officer’s recommendation regarding Mr. Gray’s 2019 Special Bonus also focused on an evaluation of his outstanding individual performance in support of Front Yard initiatives in addition to his service as Chief Administrative Officer and Senior Counsel.

On March 31, 2015, we and our subsidiary, Front Yard Residential, L.P., entered into an asset management agreement with AAMC (the “Former AMA”). On May 7, 2019, we amended and restated our asset management agreement with AAMC (the “Amended AMA”). As noted above, under the Amended AMA, AAMC is responsible for the salary, benefits and other compensation of our executive officers but is entitled to reimbursement for the salary, benefits and other compensation attributable to Front Yard’s dedicated General Counsel, Mr. Lubin. For the year ended December 31, 2019, Front Yard reimbursed AAMC for an aggregate of approximately $1,462,805 of expenses, which consists of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by AAMC on Front Yard’s behalf and the compensation of the General Counsel dedicated to Front Yard. For further discussion of the terms of the Amended AMA, including the fees payable to AAMC, see “Business Relationships and Related Party Transactions.”

Equity Awards

Description of the Company's Equity Incentive Plans

The Company adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, which superseded the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (together with the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, the “Equity Incentive Plans”), to afford an incentive to officers, non-employee directors, employees, advisors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates (including AAMC) to continue as officers, non-employee directors, employees, advisors or consultants, to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company and to promote the success of the Company’s business.

The Equity Incentive Plans are administered by the Company's Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has complete, full and final authority to: designate participants; determine the types of awards to be granted; determine the terms of awards; interpret and administer the Equity Incentive Plans and any agreements and awards thereunder; prescribe forms of award; adopt, amend, suspend, waive and rescind such rules and regulations as are necessary or advisable to administer the Equity Incentive Plans; correct any defect, supply any omission, reconcile any inconsistency, resolve any ambiguity and construe and interpret the Equity Incentive Plans and rules, regulations, award agreements and other instruments and awards entered into thereunder; make all other decisions

---

and determinations required under the Equity Incentive Plans or deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Equity Incentive Plans; and make filings and take actions required by appropriate state, regulatory and governmental agencies. Each award granted under the Equity Incentive Plans has been, and will be, evidenced by a written award agreement between the participant and us, which describes the award and states the terms and conditions to which the award is subject.

Awards may be granted under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan in a maximum number of 1,700,023 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment as provided under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. This share reserve is reduced by the number of shares of our common stock subject to outstanding awards. If all or a portion of an award is forfeited, terminated or paid in a form other than shares of our common stock, then the shares subject to that award or portion thereof will again be available for issuance under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan. Awards under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan may be granted to officers, non-employee directors, employees, advisors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.

Awards may be granted to eligible participants in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards and other stock-based awards. Awards may be granted alone or in tandem with other awards, or in substitution for awards in connection with certain corporate acquisitions, and may be granted with or without dividend or dividend equivalent rights. The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock for which any single form of award may be granted to any single participant in any single calendar year is limited to 300,000 shares. The aggregate value of all compensation paid or provided to any of our non-employee directors (excluding any non-employee director who is an executive officer of us or one of our affiliates), under the Equity Incentive Plans or otherwise, in respect of a single calendar year is limited to $350,000.

2019 Equity Awards

On March 29, 2019, the Compensation Committee awarded service-based and market-based RSUs to Messrs. Ellison, Lowe, Gray, Lubin and Dittrich, pursuant to the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and their respective award agreements (collectively, the “NEO Equity Award Agreements”) as well as to certain other non-executive employees of AAMC. With the exception of Mr. Dittrich, the grant date fair value of their awards were divided between service-based RSUs and market-based RSUs based on the Company’s share price performance as described below. The Compensation Committee determined not to include market-based RSUs as a component of the compensation of Mr. Dittrich as Chief Accounting Officer. Mr. Ellison was awarded 75,512 service-based RSUs and 142,020 market-based RSUs. Messrs. Lowe, Gray and Lubin were each awarded 24,811 service-based RSUs and 31,109 market-based RSUs. Mr. Dittrich was awarded 18,608 service-based RSUs. The service-based and market-based RSUs had a weighted average grant date fair value of $9.27 per share and $7.39 per share, respectively. The service-based RSUs will vest in equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date, subject to acceleration or forfeiture. The market-based RSUs will vest in three equal annual installments on the later of the anniversary of the award date and the date of the satisfaction of certain performance criteria, in each case, on the first, second and third anniversaries of the award, subject to acceleration or forfeiture. The performance criteria for the market-based RSUs is satisfied on the date on which the sum of (a) the average price per share for the consecutive 20 trading-day period ending on such date plus (b) the amount of all reinvested dividends, calculated on a per-share basis from the date of grant through such date, equals or exceeds 125% of the price per share on the date of grant (the “Performance Goal”). The Performance Goal must be attained no later than the fourth anniversary of the grant date; otherwise, the market-based RSUs expire. The Performance Goal was attained on July 9, 2019.

In determining the awards for our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considered the valuable and substantial contributions they had made to achieving Front Yard's strategic objectives, the importance to us of retaining and incentivizing them and the analysis prepared by F.W. Cook comparing our compensation structure to those of companies in the industry in which Front Yard competes.

Termination or Change in Control

As discussed below under “Executive Compensation - Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control,” the Company has entered into change in control severance agreements with our named executive officers pursuant to which each executive is entitled to certain severance payments and benefits if an executive has a qualifying termination (without “cause” or with “good reason”) within two years following a change in control. Additionally, under AAMC’s employment arrangements with Mr. Lubin, in the event that his employment is terminated by AAMC without “cause,” he would be entitled to certain severance benefits, which would be reimbursed by us.

20

---

Pursuant to each of the NEO Equity Award Agreements, the executives would be entitled to pro-rata vesting upon a qualifying termination not in connection with a change in control and full vesting upon a qualifying termination in connection with a change in control (the latter, consistent with the treatment in the change in control severance agreements). We believe these payments, which provide a level of financial security following a loss of employment, are important to attract and retain our executives. In the context of a change in control, these payments also serve to align the interests of our executives with the interests of our shareholders by providing incentives for retention, for business continuity purposes.

Clawback Policy

The Company has a clawback policy that applies to all equity awards upon an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company.

Supplementary Compensation Disclosure

During 2019, base salary paid and annual incentive compensation approved by AAMC for its employees who are our named executive officers, other than Mr. Lubin, totaled $2,641,723 in the aggregate, or approximately 18.5% of the management fees of $14,299,627 paid by us to AAMC. Of the $2,641,723 paid by AAMC to its employees who are our named executive officers, 60.7% or $1,603,723 was paid as base salary and 39.3% or $1,038,000 was approved in the form of annual cash incentive compensation. The only compensation of our named executive officers that was reimbursed by Front Yard was the total compensation of Mr. Lubin, as our dedicated General Counsel, and the 2019 Special Bonus to Mr. Gray.

Under AAMC’s annual cash incentive compensation plan, AAMC employees who are our named executive officers can earn cash incentive compensation awards as determined by the AAMC Compensation Committee. The AAMC Compensation Committee and AAMC management have the authority to establish incentive compensation award guidelines. Each named executive officer has a targeted annual cash incentive award that is expressed as a percentage of his or her annual cash total target compensation. In 2019, 28-46% of total annual cash target compensation was payable to AAMC’s named executive officers only upon achievement of certain performance levels. The appropriate targeted percentage varies based upon the nature and scope of each named executive officer’s responsibilities.

For our executives other than Mr. Ellison, Mr. Ellison presents performance appraisals to the Compensation Committee of AAMC and makes recommendations as to the incentive compensation for each such executive officer. Given the separate financial performance of AAMC in 2019, the AAMC Compensation Committee determined to keep flat or reduce the cash annual incentive compensation payable to the AAMC named executive officers. We have been advised by the AAMC Compensation Committee that the annual incentive compensation amounts for Messrs. Ellison, Lowe and Gray have not yet been paid and are subject to certain events with respect to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 17, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, BAF Holdings, LLC (“Parent”) and BAF Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. On May 4, 2020, the Company entered into a Termination and Settlement Agreement with respect to the Merger Agreement.

In determining to approve the cash incentive compensation for Mr. Lubin and the 2019 Special Bonus paid to Mr. Gray, the Front Yard Compensation Committee considered the valuable and substantial contributions each of Messrs. Lubin and Gray made to Front Yard in 2019, the importance to us of retaining and incentivizing them, and the analysis prepared by F.W. Cook comparing the compensation structure for each of Messrs. Lubin and Gray to those of companies in the industry in which Front Yard competes.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

CIC Agreements

The Company has entered into change in control severance agreements (the “CIC Agreements”) with Messrs. Ellison, Gray, Lowe, Lubin and Dittrich. Under the CIC Agreements, a Change in Control is defined as (i) the date that a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization or similar transaction (other than a spinoff, exchange offer or similar transaction to or with the Company’s stockholders) is consummated, unless: (A) at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting entity (including, without limitation, an entity which as a result of such transaction owns the Company either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (“Resulting Entity”) are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the persons who were the beneficial owners of the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately prior to such transaction in substantially the same proportions as their beneficial ownership, immediately prior to such transaction, of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and (B) immediately following such transaction no person or persons acting as a group beneficially owns capital stock of the Resulting Entity possessing thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Resulting Entity; (ii) the date that a majority of members of the Company’s Board of Directors is replaced during any twenty-four (24) month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors before the date of the appointment or election; provided that no individual shall be considered to be so endorsed if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened “Election Contest” (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person (as defined in the CIC Agreements) other than the Board of Directors (a “Proxy Contest”) including by

25

---

reason of any agreement intended to avoid or settle any Election Contest or Proxy Contest; (iii) the date that any one person, or persons acting as a group, other than an employee benefit plan of the Company or one of its Affiliates (as defined in the CIC Agreements), or a trust thereof, or any underwriter, acquires (or has or have acquired as of the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) beneficial ownership of stock of the Company possessing thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; or (iv) the date that any one person acquires, or persons acting as a group acquire (or has or have acquired as of the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons), assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than forty percent (40%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions.

Under the CIC Agreements, each executive is entitled to certain severance payments and benefits if: (i) the Company undergoes a Change in Control and (ii) on or within two years thereafter, the executive’s employment is terminated by the employer without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason (in each case, as defined in the CIC Agreements). If these events occur, each executive is entitled to the following severance payments and benefits: (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times the executive’s base salary (or 2.0 times the executive’s base salary in the case of Mr. Ellison); (ii) an amount equal to 1.5 times the executive’s target annual bonus amount (for Messrs. Ellison and Gray, including dividends paid on their shares of AAMC preferred stock issued under AAMC's 2016 Employee Preferred Stock Program) for the year of termination (2.0 times the executive’s bonus in the case of Mr. Ellison); (iii) an amount equal to the executive’s target annual bonus for the year of termination, prorated based on the number of days of service in that year; (iv) an amount equal to 18.0 times the monthly premium (if any) paid by the executive’s employer for medical, dental and vision insurance coverage for the executive and his eligible dependents immediately prior to the termination; (v) immediate vesting of all equity and equity-based awards granted to the executive under the Company’s equity plans; (vi) an amount equal to the executive’s annual bonus (if any) earned for the prior year, to the extent not paid as of the termination date; and (vii) all rights accrued as of the termination date, including, without limitation, earned but unpaid base salary, unused vacation pay and business expense reimbursement. Such payments are subject to the executive’s execution of a general release of claims and covenant not to sue and may be subject to offset or reduction in certain circumstances.

The CIC Agreements have an initial three-year term and renew thereafter for successive one-year terms, unless the Company notifies an executive in writing at least 90 days before an upcoming renewal date of its intention not to renew.

If the Company had undergone a Change in Control and the executive’s employment was terminated by the employer without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason (in each case as defined in the CIC Agreements) on December 31, 2019, Messrs. Ellison, Lowe, Gray, Lubin and Dittrich would have received the following severance payments and benefits based on their respective 2019 base salary, target annual bonus (including AAMC preferred stock dividends for Messrs. Ellison and Gray) and prior equity awards and assuming that such executive’s 2019 annual bonus and, if applicable, AAMC preferred stock dividends had been paid and the value of the Company’s stock was $12.34 as of December 31, 2019: Mr. Ellison would have received approximately $3,189,176 in cash, RSUs with an aggregate fair value of $4,455,246 and vesting of 267,857 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $14.30 per share; Mr. Lowe would have received approximately $1,629,458 in cash, RSUs with an aggregate fair value of $1,089,276 and vesting of 55,147 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $14.30 per share; Mr. Gray would have received approximately $1,264,685 in cash, RSUs with an aggregate fair value of $1,089,276 and vesting of 55,147 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $14.30 per share; Mr. Lubin would have received approximately $1,493,189 in cash, RSUs with an aggregate fair value of $1,089,276 and vesting of 55,147 stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $14.30 per share; and Mr. Dittrich would have received approximately $1,047,172 in cash and RSUs with an aggregate fair value of $388,735.

AAMC Employment Arrangement with Mr. Lubin

Under AAMC’s employment arrangements with Mr. Lubin, in the event that his employment is terminated by AAMC without “cause,” he would receive severance benefits of six months’ base salary, which would be reimbursed by us. If Mr. Lubin’s employment is terminated for cause, his employment may be terminated without notice and with no liability to make any further payment to him, other than amounts accrued and unpaid as of the date of his termination.

In order to obtain the benefits provided under Mr. Lubin’s termination provisions, Mr. Lubin would first be required to execute a release of claims with AAMC that would include a waiver and release of any and all claims he may

---

have against us. As of December 31, 2019, the separation payment Mr. Lubin would have received upon termination, other than for cause, based on a six-month separation payment, would have been $175,000, as well as six months of continued medical insurance benefits with a value of approximately $31,063. The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, revise, amend or add to the benefits of Mr. Lubin.

NEO Equity Award Agreements

Pursuant to each of the NEO Equity Award Agreements, upon a termination of the executive’s service by Front Yard without cause or by the executive for good reason other than in connection with a change of control, a portion of the unvested options and RSUs shall immediately vest based on the product of (x) the total number of unvested options and RSUs and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months elapsed from the date of grant or, if later, the most recent anniversary thereof, through the date of termination, and the denominator of which is the number of full calendar months from the date of grant, or, if later, the most recent anniversary thereof, through the third anniversary of the date of grant. The aggregate fair value of RSUs that would have vested upon termination without “cause” on December 31, 2019 would have been $1,258,909 for Mr. Ellison; $303,634 for each of Messrs. Lowe, Gray and Lubin; and $116,396 for Mr. Dittrich. Further, Mr. Ellison would have vested in 156,251 stock options with a weighted average strike price of $14.30 per share, and each of Messrs. Lowe, Gray and Lubin would have vested in 55,147 stock options with a weighted average strike price of $14.30 per share.

Each of the NEO Equity Award Agreements also contains a “double trigger” change of control provision that could potentially result in an acceleration of vesting in the event of a change of control as defined in the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which definition is substantially the same as the definition of Change in Control under the CIC Agreements, as described above.

The potential “double trigger” change of control acceleration of vesting set forth in the NEO Equity Award Agreements is consistent with the entitlement to immediate vesting of all equity and equity-based awards in the CIC Agreements. All unvested options and RSUs will fully vest upon a termination of service by Front Yard without cause or by the executive for “good reason,” as defined in the NEO Equity Award Agreements, on or within two years following a change of control. The aggregate fair value of RSUs that would have vested upon such a change in control event on December 31, 2019 would have been $4,455,246 for Mr. Ellison; $1,089,276 for each of Messrs. Lowe, Gray and Lubin; and $388,735 for Mr. Dittrich. Further, Mr. Ellison would have vested in 267,857 stock options with a weighted average strike price of $14.30 per share, and each of Messrs. Lowe, Gray and Lubin would have vested in 55,147 stock options with a weighted average strike price of $14.30 per share.

Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any benefits under the various scenarios, actual amounts paid or distributed may be different.

Tax Fees		159,900				186,000
All Other Fees		—				—
Total		$	1,415,787			$	1,436,000

Audit Fees. This category includes the aggregate fees and expenses billed for professional services rendered for the audit of Front Yard’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, for the reviews of the financial statements included in Front Yard’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q during those fiscal years, for the audit of our internal control over financial reporting for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and affiliates in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

Audit-Related Fees. This category includes the aggregate fees billed for audit-related services by the independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audits or reviews of the financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees.” We did not incur any such Audit-Related Fees for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Tax Fees. This category includes the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm for tax compliance and tax planning, including related to the Company’s compliance with REIT requirements.

All Other Fees. This category would include the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm that are not reported above under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” or “Tax Fees.” We did not incur any such other fees for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Audit Committee considered the fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and determined that the services and fees are compatible with the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and (unless the de minimis exception of applicable law permits) non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, all fees associated with the independent registered public accounting firm’s services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members and has so delegated pre-approval authority to the Chair of the Audit Committee. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated shall report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to management.

(Proposal Three)

As required by Section 14A of the Exchange Act and in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), we are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on an advisory and non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in accordance with SEC rules in this Proxy Statement. This proposal is commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal. The compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement includes the disclosure under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and other narrative and tabular executive compensation disclosure in this Proxy Statement as required by SEC rules.

At the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders were given an opportunity to provide feedback through an advisory vote on executive compensation. Approximately 98.6% of the votes cast were in favor of the advisory vote to approve executive compensation. The Compensation Committee took into account these results as well as feedback received from stockholders during the course of 2019 when making the decisions described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The Company intends to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation annually.

Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2019 compensation of our named executive officers.

Accordingly, the following advisory and non-binding resolution will be presented to our stockholders at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosures, and any related material disclosed in this Proxy Statement.”

Although this approval is advisory and non-binding, our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding compensation of our named executive officers.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Total		2,415,333			$	11.71			1,650,071

The options provided in the table above represent the only outstanding options to purchase our common stock that have been granted by the Company. Such options were granted to (i) the holders of options of ASPS under the 2012 Conversion Option Plan in connection with the Company’s separation from ASPS and (ii) to certain employees of AAMC under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. In August 2016 and May 2017, the Company granted 695,187 and 567,227 stock options, respectively, to certain employees of AAMC under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. On May 26, 2017, Mr. Ellison and the Company mutually agreed to the cancellation of 27,921 stock options that were granted to him on August 9, 2016.

The Company issued an aggregate of 10,531 shares of our common stock to our Directors pursuant to our 2013 Director Equity Plan in June 2016 upon the vesting of RSUs granted in connection with their service on our Board of Directors for the 2015-2016 service period. In May 2017, 22,637 RSUs vested with respect to the Board of Directors’ 2016-2017 service period; in March 2018 and May 2018, 3,495 and 17,523 RSUs, respectively, vested with respect to the Board of Directors’ 2017-2018 service period; and in May 2019, 35,245 RSUs vested with respect to the Board of Directors' 2018-2019 service period. With respect to RSUs that have vested for our Directors under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, the issuance of the shares of common stock are deferred until the earlier of the third anniversary of the grant of the RSUs or the applicable Director’s separation from the Board of Directors. In addition, the Company granted 49,952 RSUs to our Board of Directors in August 2019 for the 2019-2020 service period that will vest at the earlier of the Company's 2020 annual meeting or August 12, 2020.

In addition, the Company granted an aggregate of 247,008, 247,906, 519,470 and 699,977 RSUs to certain employees of AAMC in August 2016, May 2017, May 2018 and March 2019, respectively, under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. During 2017, 2018 and 2019, we issued 78,850, 150,479 and 307,358 shares of common stock, respectively, in connection with the vesting of RSUs granted in August 2016, May 2017 and May 2018.

Except as described above, the Company has not granted any additional options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or any other securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock that remain outstanding.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, Directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based upon the Company’s review of Section 16(a) reports and related written representations, the Company believes that all of the Company’s reporting persons complied with their Section 16(a) filing requirements in 2019.

Ownership of Stock

In 2016, the Board of Directors adopted stock ownership guidelines for Directors, which are described more fully in “BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE – Director Stock Ownership Guidelines.” We do not currently have formal stock ownership requirements for our executive officers.

BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Transaction Policy

The Board of Directors has adopted policies and procedures for the review, approval and monitoring of transactions involving Front Yard and related persons (Directors, nominees for election as Director and executive officers or their immediate family members or stockholders owning 5% or greater of the Company’s outstanding stock or their immediate family members) within our written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is available at www.frontyardresidential.com. The policies and procedures are not limited to related person transactions that meet the threshold for disclosure under the relevant SEC rules as the policies and procedures broadly cover any situation in which a conflict of interest may arise.

Any situation that potentially involves a conflict of interest is to be immediately disclosed to the Company’s General Counsel who, in consultation with management and the Audit Committee chair and with outside counsel, as appropriate, must assess the nature and extent of any concern and then recommend any follow up action, as needed. The General Counsel will notify the Chair of the Audit Committee if any such situation requires notice to or approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Related persons are required to obtain the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for any transaction or situation that may pose a conflict of interest. In considering a transaction, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant factors including, but not limited to, (i) whether the transaction is in the best interests of Front Yard; (ii) alternatives to the related person transaction; (iii) whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those available to third parties; (iv) the potential for the transaction to lead to an actual or apparent conflict of interest and any safeguards imposed to prevent such actual or apparent conflicts; and (v) the overall fairness of the transaction to Front Yard.

Relationship with AAMC

On March 31, 2015, we entered into an asset management agreement (the “Former AMA”), under which AAMC was our exclusive asset manager for an initial term of 15 years from April 1, 2015, with two potential five-year extensions. The Former AMA provided for a fee structure in which AAMC was entitled to a base management fee, an incentive management fee and a conversion fee for mortgage loans and REO properties that become rental properties for the first time during each quarter.

On May 7, 2019, we entered into an amended and restated asset management agreement (the “Amended AMA”), under which AAMC is our exclusive asset manager for an initial term of five years. The Amended AMA will renew automatically each year thereafter for an additional one-year term, subject in each case to certain termination provisions. The Amended AMA provides for a fee structure in which AAMC is entitled to a base management fee and a potential incentive fee.

The management fees payable under the Amended AMA are subject to ongoing performance thresholds and an aggregate fee cap aimed to prevent such fees from increasing our general and administrative expenses above industry standards based on the size of our gross real estate asset base. The Amended AMA also provides us more flexibility in return for a termination fee to AAMC that we believe reflects industry norms.

For additional information regarding our asset management agreements with AAMC, refer to Note 10, “Related-Party Transactions” of the consolidated financial statements included within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020.

Agreements with ASPS

We have engaged ASPS to provide services for us as detailed below. If for any reason ASPS is unable to perform the services described under these agreements at the level and/or the cost that we anticipate, alternate service providers may not be readily available on favorable terms, or at all, which could adversely affect our performance. ASPS’s failure to perform the services under these agreements with AAMC or us could have a material adverse effect on us.

Master services agreement and subsequent amendments

Under the master services agreement (the “MSA”) between ASPS and us, dated December 21, 2012, Altisource Solutions was the exclusive provider of property management, leasing, renovation management and valuation services associated with a substantial number of the single-family properties in our portfolio and certain real estate owned upon conversion of sub-performing or non-performing residential mortgage loans that we previously acquired.

In order to enable Main Street Renewal, LLC (“MSR”) to be the property manager for certain acquired properties, we and ASPS entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement (the “Amendment and Waiver Agreement”) to amend the Master Services Agreement (the “MSA”) between ASPS and us, dated December 21, 2012, under which ASPS was the exclusive provider of leasing and property management services to us. Pursuant to the Amendment and Waiver Agreement, we obtained a waiver of the exclusivity requirements under the MSA for certain acquired properties. The Amendment and Waiver Agreement also amended the MSA to require us or any surviving entity to pay a significant liquidation fee to ASPS in certain circumstances. On August 8, 2018, the Amendment and Waiver Agreement was superseded by the MSA Amendment Agreement, as described below.

In connection with our acquisition of an internal property manager, on August 8, 2018, we and ASPS entered into an amendment (the “MSA Amendment Agreement”) to the MSA. Under the terms of the MSA Amendment Agreement, the exclusivity provisions with respect to the renovation and property management provisions were terminated in order to allow us to internalize the property management function related to the rental properties managed by ASPS. Following a transition that was completed during the fourth quarter of 2018, the MSA terminated in its entirety in respect of the property management services set forth in the MSA. Subject to certain conditions, the title insurance services statement of work under the MSA will remain in place until the fourth anniversary of the MSA Amendment Agreement. In addition, ASPS agreed to continue to provide certain services for an ongoing fee, including property preservation, maintenance, valuation, and sale brokerage services, with respect to certain of our remaining non-rental legacy assets until such properties are sold.

In exchange for the termination of the previous management contract detailed by the above-described amendments, including the termination of the exclusivity provision of the MSA, we agreed to pay an aggregate of (x) $15.0 million upon the signing of the MSA Amendment Agreement and (y) $3.0 million, which will be paid on the earlier to occur of (i) a change of control of us or (ii) August 8, 2023. We recognized the entire $18.0 million termination fee as an expense during the year ended December 31, 2018, which is included in acquisition and integration costs in our consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2019, we included $3.0 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.

Separation Stock Option Plans

In connection with our separation from ASPS in December 2012, we adopted the 2012 Conversion Option Plan and the 2012 Special Option Plan. In the separation transaction, we issued options to purchase 809,240 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $2.33 per share on December 31, 2012 under the Conversion Option Plan to ASPS employees holding ASPS stock options immediately prior to the separation. We also issued options to purchase 210,184 shares of our common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $1.15 per share at December 31, 2012 under the Special Option Plan to non-employee holders of ASPS stock options receiving shares in the separation. Because the options were granted as part of the separation to holders of ASPS stock options, no share-based compensation related to these options is included in our consolidated financial statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. No additional shares of common stock are issuable under either the 2012 Conversion Option Plan or the 2012 Special Conversion Option Plan.
