Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 27, 2015, PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”), entered into an amendment to its master repurchase agreement, dated November 20, 2012, by and among Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (“Morgan Stanley”), on the one hand, and PMC, on the other hand (the “Repurchase Agreement”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, PMC may sell, and later repurchase, newly originated mortgage loans. The Repurchase Agreement is generally used to fund newly originated mortgage loans that are purchased from correspondent lenders by PMC and held for sale and/or securitization. The obligations of PMC are fully guaranteed by the Company.
Under the terms of the amendment, the maximum aggregate purchase price provided for in the Repurchase Agreement was temporarily increased from $300 million to $400 million, until December 1, 2015, with such $100 million increase on an uncommitted basis.
The Company, through PMC, is required to pay Morgan Stanley certain 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 full text of the amendment, which has been filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, and the full text of the Repurchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on November 26, 2012, and any amendments to the Repurchase Agreement filed thereafter.
