Repurchase Agreements with Credit Suisse
On June 23, 2017, PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”), through two of its controlled subsidiaries, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”) and Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PNMAC”), entered into an amendment (the “CS Repurchase Amendment”) to the terms of its Third Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2017, by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC, as administrative agent to the buyers (“CSFB”), Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as a buyer (“CS Cayman” or “CS Buyer”), Alpine Securitization LTD, as a buyer (“Alpine” or “CS Buyer,” and, together with CS Cayman, the “CS Buyers”), PLS and PNMAC (the “CS Repurchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the CS Repurchase Agreement, PLS may sell to, and later repurchase from, CS Buyer (i) certain newly originated residential and small balance multifamily mortgage loans and recently acquired Ginnie Mae early buyout mortgage loans, and (ii) mortgage servicing advances made by PLS in connection with certain Ginnie Mae early buyout mortgage loans. The CS Repurchase Agreement is committed to April 27, 2018 and the obligations of PLS under the CS Repurchase Agreement are fully guaranteed by PNMAC.
On June 23, 2017, the Company, through PLS, also entered into an amendment (the “VFN Repurchase Amendment”) to the terms of its Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2016, by and among CSFB, as administrative agent, and CS Cayman (the “VFN Repurchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the VFN Repurchase Agreement, PLS sold to CS Cayman that certain Series 2016-MSRVF1 Variable Funding Note, dated December 19, 2016 (the “VFN”), with an agreement to repurchase such VFN at a later date. The VFN Repurchase Agreement has a term of one year.
Pursuant to the terms of the CS Repurchase Amendment, the maximum combined committed purchase price under the CS Repurchase Agreement and the VFN Repurchase Agreement was temporarily increased from $700 million to $943 million, all of which is committed and available for purchases under the CS Repurchase Agreement to the extent not reduced by purchased amounts outstanding under the VFN Repurchase Agreement. The period of the increase runs from June 23, 2017 through and including September 29, 2017. After September 29, 2017, the CS Repurchase Amendment will expire and the maximum combined committed purchase price under the CS Repurchase Agreement will revert back to $700 million, all of which is committed and available for purchases under the CS Repurchase Agreement to the extent not reduced by purchased amounts outstanding under the VFN Repurchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the VFN Repurchase Amendment, the maximum purchase price under the VFN Repurchase Agreement was temporarily increased from $407 million to $650 million, all of which is committed. The period of the increase runs from June 23, 2017 through and including September 28, 2017. After September 28, 2017, the VFN Repurchase Amendment will expire and the maximum purchase price under the VFN Repurchase Agreement will revert back to $407 million.
The Company, through PLS, is required to pay CSFB a commitment fee relating to the VFN Repurchase Amendment, as well as certain other administrative costs and expenses associated with each amendment. All other terms and conditions of the CS Repurchase Agreement and the VFN Repurchase Agreement, including the $1.5 billion maximum combined purchase price under each, remain the same in all material respects.
