Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 6, 2020, PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”), through two of its wholly owned subsidiaries, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”) and Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PNMAC”), entered into an amendment (the “March Amendment”) to its Third Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2017, with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC (“CSFB”), acting as administrative agent for Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (“CSCIB”), as a buyer, and Alpine Securitization LTD (“Alpine”), as a buyer (the “CS Repurchase Agreement”). The CS Repurchase Agreement is committed to April 24, 2020.

The Company, through PLS, uses the CS Repurchase Agreement to sell, and later repurchase certain newly originated residential mortgage loans and recently acquired Ginnie Mae early buyout mortgage loans.  The obligations of PLS under the CS Repurchase Agreement are fully guaranteed by PNMAC.

In addition to the CS Repurchase Agreement, CSFB, CSCIB and Alpine provide three other credit facilities to PLS: (i) a Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2016, among CSFB, CSCIB, and PLS that is one of the related credit facilities that PLS uses to finance Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing rights (“the “VFN Repurchase Agreement”); (ii) a Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2019, among CSFB, CSCIB, PLS and PNMAC that PLS uses to finance Fannie Mae mortgage servicing rights (the “MSR PC Agreement”), and (iii) a Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2018, among CSFB, CSCIB, PLS and PNMAC that PLS uses to finance Freddie Mac mortgage servicing rights (the “CS Loan Agreement”).

The purpose of the March Amendment is to (i) increase the maximum combined purchase price available to PLS under the CS Repurchase Agreement, the VFN Repurchase Agreement, the CS Loan Agreement, and the MSR PC Agreement from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion; and (ii) increase the minimum adjusted tangible net worth required to be maintained at all times by PLS from $500 million to $1.25 billion.  All other terms and conditions of the CS Repurchase Agreement, including the maximum combined committed purchase price of $700 million, remain the same in all material respects.

The foregoing descriptions of the March Amendment, the CS Repurchase Agreement, the VFN Repurchase Agreement, the MSR PC Agreement, and the CS Loan Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the (i) the full text of the March Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1; (ii) the descriptions of the CS Repurchase Agreement and the related guaranty in the Company’s  Current Report on Form 8‑K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 3, 2017, including the full text of such agreements attached thereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively;  (iii) the descriptions of the VFN Repurchase Agreement and the related guaranty in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8‑K as filed with the SEC on December 21, 2016, including the full text of such agreements attached thereto as Exhibit 10.3 and Exhibit 10.4, respectively; (iv) the full text of the MSR PC Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.11 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 as filed with the SEC on November 4, 2019;  (v) the description of the CS Loan Agreement in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8‑K as filed with the SEC on February 7, 2018, including the full text of such agreement attached thereto as Exhibit 10.1;  and (vi) the full text of all other amendments to the foregoing filed thereafter with the SEC.
