Fannie Mae MSR Financing

The Company, through two subsidiaries, PMT ISSUER TRUST-FMSR and PMT CO-ISSUER TRUST-FMSR (together, the "Issuer Trusts"), finances MSRs relating to loans serviced for Fannie Mae guaranteed securities comprised of the base MSRs owned by PMC and the related excess servicing spread ("ESS") owned by PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”), another subsidiary of PMT, through a combination of repurchase agreements and term financing.

The repurchase agreement financings for Fannie Mae MSRs and ESS are effected through the issuance of variable funding notes (a Series 2017-VF1 Note, a Series 2024-VF1 Note, a Series 2024-VF2 Note, and a Series 2025-VF1 Note, together the "FMSR VFNs") by the Issuer Trusts to PMC and PMH in exchange for participation certificates for MSRs and ESS. The FMSR VFNs are then sold by PMC and PMH to qualified institutional buyers under agreements to repurchase. The amounts outstanding under the FMSR VFNs are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The FMSR VFNs have a combined committed borrowing capacity of $1.1 billion under two-year repurchase agreement facilities.

The term financing for Fannie Mae MSRs is effected through the issuance of term notes (the “FT-1 Term Notes”) by the Issuer Trusts to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and a series of syndicated term loans with various lenders (the “FTL-1 Term Loans").

The FT-1 Term Notes, FTL-1 Term Loans and the FMSR VFNs are secured by participation certificates relating to Fannie Mae MSRs and ESS. Creditors to the assets sold under agreements to repurchase, the FT-1Term Notes and the FTL-1 Term Notes have equal priority in claims to the collateral held by the Issuer Trusts.

Freddie Mac MSR and Servicing Advance Receivables Financing

The Company, through PMC and PMH, finances certain MSRs (including any related ESS) relating to loans pooled into Freddie Mac securities through various credit agreements. The total loan amount available under the agreements is approximately $2.0 billion, bearing interest at an annual rate equal to SOFR plus a spread as defined in each agreement. The agreements have maturities on various dates through August 2026. The total loan amount available under the agreements may be reduced by other debt outstanding with the counterparties. Advances under the credit agreements are secured by MSRs relating to loans serviced for Freddie Mac guaranteed securities.

The Company, through its indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries, PMT ISSUER TRUST - FHLMC SAF, PMT SAF Funding, LLC, and PMC, entered into a structured finance transaction that PMC may use to finance Freddie Mac servicing advance receivables (the “Series 2023-VF1”). The maturity date of the related Series 2023-VF1, Class A-VF1 Variable Funding Note is March 5, 2027 and has a maximum principal amount of $175 million.
