Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Repurchase Agreement with Morgan Stanley

 

On October 4, 2016, PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”), through its indirect controlled subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), amended the terms of its master repurchase agreement, dated July 2, 2013, by and among Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (“Morgan Stanley”), on the one hand, and PLS, on the other hand (the “Repurchase Agreement”), pursuant to which PLS, may sell, and later repurchase, newly originated mortgage loans that are originated through the PLS consumer direct lending channel or purchased from correspondent lenders through a subsidiary of PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (NYSE: PMT) and, in either case, held by PLS pending sale and/or securitization. The termination date under the Repurchase Agreement is August 25, 2017.

 

Prior to the amendment, the Repurchase Agreement provided for a maximum aggregate purchase price of $200 million. Of this amount, $125 million was committed and available for purchases under the Repurchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, Morgan Stanley agreed to increase the maximum aggregate purchase price from $200 million to $300 million. Of this amount, $175 million is committed and available for purchases under the Repurchase Agreement.

 

The Company, through PLS, is required to pay Morgan Stanley a commitment fee, as well as certain other costs and expenses associated with the preparation of the amendment. All other terms and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement remain the same in all material respects.

 

The foregoing description of the Repurchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description of the Repurchase Agreement in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on July 8, 2013, the full text of the Repurchase Agreement attached thereto as Exhibit 1.1, and any amendments to the Repurchase Agreement filed thereafter.
