Financial terms of the completed deal were not disclosed, but a Banc of California filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission from earlier this month provides some details on the deal’s particulars.

According to the SEC filing, Caliber was to the “leases relating to the Bank’s dedicated mortgage loan origination offices and the Bank’s ‘pipeline’ of residential mortgage loan applications for loans.”

Under the terms of the deal, Caliber was to pay at least $25 million for Banc Home Loans.

Additionally, the filing also stated that Caliber will pay $36 million to acquire the mortgage servicing rights for approximately $3.8 billion in unpaid principal balances of conventional agency mortgages from Banc of California.
