Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Repurchase Agreement with BNP Paribas
On August 3, 2018, PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (the "Company"), through two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PennyMac Corp. ("PMC") and PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. ("POP," and together with PMC, the "Sellers"), entered into a master repurchase agreement, by and among BNP Paribas ("BNP"), on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand (the "BNP Repurchase Agreement"), pursuant to which Sellers may sell to, and later repurchase from, BNP newly originated mortgage loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $200 million, of which $100 million is committed. The BNP Repurchase Agreement will be used to fund newly originated mortgage loans that PMC purchases from correspondent lenders pending sale and/or securitization. The mortgage loans are serviced by PennyMac Loan Services, LLC ("PLS"), an indirect controlled subsidiary of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: PFSI), and the obligations of the Sellers under the BNP Repurchase Agreement are fully guaranteed by the Company. The BNP Repurchase Agreement is set to expire on August 2, 2019.
The principal amount paid by BNP for each eligible mortgage loan is based on a percentage of the lesser of the market value as determined by BNP in its sole discretion and the unpaid principal balance of such mortgage loan. Upon the repurchase, or the sale, securitization or liquidation of such mortgage loan, PMC or POP, as applicable, is required to repay BNP the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued interest (at a rate reflective of the current market and based on LIBOR plus a margin) to the date of such repurchase, sale, securitization or liquidation.
The BNP Repurchase Agreement requires the Company, PMC and POP to maintain various financial and other covenants, which include maintaining (i) a minimum adjusted tangible net worth at all times greater than or equal to $860 million for the Company, $150 million for PMC and $700 million for POP, in each case on a consolidated basis; (ii) a minimum in unrestricted cash at all times greater than or equal to $40 million among the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, $10 million at PMC and its consolidated subsidiaries, and $40 million at POP and its consolidated subsidiaries; (iii) a ratio of total indebtedness to adjusted tangible net worth at all times not to exceed 5:1 for the Company, 10:1 for PMC, and 5:1 for POP; and (iv) profitability for at least one (1) of any two (2) consecutive quarters, for POP and the Company.
The BNP Repurchase Agreement contains margin call provisions that provide BNP with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans.  Under these provisions, BNP may require PMC and/or POP, as applicable, to transfer cash and/or additional eligible mortgage loans with an aggregate market value sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.
In addition, the BNP Repurchase Agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, material adverse changes, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction.  The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the BNP Repurchase Agreement and BNP's right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the BNP Repurchase Agreement.
The Company, through PMC and POP, is also required to pay BNP certain costs and expenses in connection with BNP's structuring, management and ongoing administration of the BNP Repurchase Agreement.
The foregoing descriptions of the BNP Repurchase Agreement and the related guaranty do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which have been filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively.
