Mortgage Servicing Rights
On April 30, 2013, one of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries acquired a company that has seller-servicer approvals from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae to hold and manage MSRs. The MSRs acquired in conjunction with this acquisition represent the right to service mortgage loans. The Company and its subsidiaries do not originate or directly service mortgage loans, and instead contract with fully licensed subservicers to handle all servicing functions for the loans underlying the Company's MSRs. The following table summarizes activity related to MSRs, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
