Reston, VA, July 13, 2012 – “We are pleased to have come to an agreement with the State of Delaware that both serves the best interests of Delaware homeowners and protects the value MERSCORP Holdings brings to its members. The agreed upon measures are consistent with steps we’ve taken nationally to improve offerings to our constituencies and are natural outcomes of our responsiveness to the rapidly changing market-reform environment. With this matter now resolved, MERSCORP Holdings, Inc. and Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS) will continue to provide value to U.S. housing finance, state and local governments and to homeowners.”
