NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fir Tree Partners, a private investment firm, today announced that it has terminated its previously announced cash tender offer (the "Offer"), through its affiliate, FT RMBS, LLC, for certain Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities ("RMBS").  The Offer was made pursuant to an offer to purchase dated January 22, 2014, as supplemented, and a related letter of transmittal.
