PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: PFSI), a prominent player in the U.S. mortgage industry, announced today the successful pricing of its private offering of $850 million in 6.875% Senior Notes due 2032. This marks an increase from the previously planned offering size of $650 million, highlighting strong investor interest and confidence in the company’s financial stability.

1. Details of the Offering

The newly issued Senior Notes will carry an interest rate of 6.875% per annum and are set to mature on May 15, 2032. Interest payments will be made semi-annually on May 15 and November 15, starting from November 15, 2025. The offering is expected to close on May 8, 2025, pending customary closing conditions.

The Notes will be backed by a full and unconditional guarantee from PennyMac’s existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, excluding certain specified subsidiaries. This move aims to enhance the company's financial structure and optimize its capital management strategy.

2. Use of Proceeds

PennyMac intends to utilize the proceeds from this offering primarily for the redemption of its existing 5.375% senior notes due in October 2025. The remaining funds will be allocated towards repaying borrowings under secured mortgage servicing rights (MSR) facilities and other secured debts, alongside general corporate purposes. This strategic use of proceeds is expected to strengthen PennyMac’s balance sheet and improve its overall liquidity position.
