WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: PFSI) (the “Company”) today
announced the completion of its third private offering of secured term
notes in an aggregate principal amount of $650 million issued by the
Company’s indirect controlled subsidiary, PNMAC GMSR ISSUER TRUST (the
“Trust”). The secured term notes were offered only to qualified
institutional buyers, as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act.
Today, the Company also redeemed the first secured term note issuance,
Series 2017-GT1 (the “Notes”). The redemption amount for the Notes was
$400 million plus all accrued and unpaid interest.
“The continued strong market reception for the term notes offered by the
Trust allowed us to effectively refinance our first term note issuance,
and with this new transaction we increased the principal amount from
$400 million to $650 million, substantially reduced the interest rate
and extended the maturity,” said President and Chief Executive Officer
David A. Spector. “We intend to use the incremental capital raised for
continued growth and furthering PennyMac Financial’s long-term strategic
objectives.”
The secured term notes mature on February 25, 2023 and are
collateralized by Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) and excess
servicing spread (ESS) evidenced by participation certificates, which
are sold to the Trust by one of the Company’s subsidiaries, PennyMac
Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), under a master repurchase agreement. The
secured term notes bear interest at a rate of one month LIBOR plus 2.85
percent per annum and the maturity date can be extended though a
two-year step-up provision at the Company’s discretion. The secured term
notes were issued by the Trust pursuant to the terms of a second amended
and restated base indenture, which is further described in the Company’s
Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 16, 2017, and the terms of a
supplemental indenture and an amendment to the base indenture executed
in connection with the offering. The term notes have been assigned an
investment grade rating of BBB- by Kroll Bond Rating Agency, and will
rank pari passu with the term notes due August 25, 2022. PLS’
obligations to the Trust under the master repurchase agreement is
guaranteed by the Company’s direct controlled subsidiary, Private
National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC.
The secured term notes have not been and are not expected to be
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and,
unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States or
to U.S. persons absent an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an
offer, solicitation or sale of any security in any jurisdiction in which
