PHH CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PRICING OF $100 MILLION OF
ADD-ON OFFERING OF 9 ¼% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2016

 

MT. LAUREL, N.J., December 7, 2011 — PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH) (“PHH”) today announced the pricing of $100 million aggregate principal amount of 9 ¼% senior notes due 2016, at an issue price of 99.01%, plus accrued interest from September 1, 2011 to the anticipated settlement date, through Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters. The notes are additional notes under an existing indenture pursuant to which PHH issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of 9 ¼% senior notes due 2016 on August 11, 2010.  The notes to be issued in this offering and the previously issued 9 ¼% senior notes due 2016 will be fully fungible and form a single class of notes under the indenture.  The notes mature on March 1, 2016.  The notes will bear interest at a rate of 9.25% annually payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on March 1, 2012.  Subject to customary closing conditions, this offering is expected to close on or about December 12, 2011.

 

PHH estimates the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the notes, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses but excluding accrued interest, will be approximately $96.3 million.

 

PHH intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering, along with cash on hand and borrowings under its Amended and Restated Competitive Advance and Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2006, as amended (the “Amended Credit Facility”) to repay at or prior to maturity the outstanding $250 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due April 15, 2012. Pending such use, the proceeds may be used to temporarily repay outstanding borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility, originate mortgage loans or may be invested temporarily in short-term interest-bearing investment funds or similar assets.
