Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement with Bank of America, N.A.

 

On June 15, 2016, PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”),  through two of its subsidiaries, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”) and Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PNMAC”), executed a Request for Temporary Increase (the “Temporary Increase”) in connection with that certain mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreement, dated August 13, 2014, by and among Bank of America, N.A. (“BANA”), on the one hand, and PLS, as seller, and PNMAC, as guarantor, on the other hand (the “BANA Participation Agreement”). 

 

Pursuant to the terms of the BANA Participation Agreement, PLS may sell to BANA participation certificates, each representing an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a pool of mortgage loans that have been pooled with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae and are pending securitization. In connection with its sale of any participation certificate, PLS also assigns to BANA a take-out commitment, which evidences PLS’ right to sell to a third party investor the security backed by the mortgage loans underlying the related participation certificate. Other material terms of the BANA Participation Agreement are described more fully in Item 5 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 14, 2014.

 

Pursuant to the Temporary Increase, BANA agreed to increase the aggregate transaction limit of purchase prices for participation certificates owned by BANA at any given time from $250 million to $800 million until September 12, 2016, at which time the aggregate transaction limit of purchase prices will be reset to $250 million.  All other terms and conditions of the BANA Participation Agreement remain the same in all material respects. The obligations of PLS are fully guaranteed by PNMAC. The mortgage loans are serviced by PLS.

 

The foregoing description of the BANA Participation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the BANA Participation Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.72 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on August 14, 2014, and any amendments to the BANA Participation Agreement filed thereafter.

 

Item 2.03   Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated herein by reference.
