Material Changes and Use of Proceeds
The Company has increased its outstanding debt obligations through this direct placement. The net proceeds are designated for the following purposes:
- Repayment of a portion of borrowings under secured mortgage servicing rights and servicing advance facilities.
- Repurchase or repayment of a portion of the Issuer's 5.50% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026.
- Other general business purposes.
Outlook, Risks, and Structural Terms
The 2029 Exchangeable Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust. They rank equal to other unsecured indebtedness but are structurally junior to the liabilities of the Issuer's subsidiaries. The Issuer may not redeem the notes prior to maturity. Holders may require the Issuer to repurchase the notes at 100% of principal plus accrued interest upon the occurrence of certain corporate events. Upon exchange, the Issuer may pay cash, Common Shares, or a combination thereof.

- Review the full Indenture (Exhibit to the Registration Statement) for detailed terms regarding exchange rate adjustments and corporate event triggers.
