PENNYMAC FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC. FILES (8-K) Disclosing Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Other Events, Financial Statements and Exhibits


(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) Resignation of Director. As previously disclosed, BlackRock Mortgage Ventures, LLC ("BlackRock") owns in excess of 20% of the equity interests in PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company"). BlackRock is an affiliate of BlackRock, Inc. ("BRI"), which is deemed to be a non-bank subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. ("PNC") as a result of PNC's ownership interest in BRI. Due to these relationships, the Company is also deemed to be a non-bank subsidiary of PNC and, therefore, required to comply with The Depository Institution Management Interlocks Act of 1978 and the implementing regulations adopted thereunder (collectively, the "Interlocks Act"). Under the Interlocks Act, no director of the Company may serve at the same time as either a director or a "senior executive officer" (as defined in 12 CFR 303.101(b)) of a depository institution or a depository holding company that is not affiliated with the Company and holds assets in excess of $1.5 billion.



One of our directors, John Taylor, serves on the board of directors of an unaffiliated depository institution with assets in excess of $1.5 billion.

Accordingly, on June 24, 2014, Mr. Taylor informed the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") that he would be resigning from the Board, effective July 1, 2014, in order to ensure the Company's compliance with the Interlocks Act. Mr. Taylor's decision to resign was not due to any disagreement with the Company or any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.


(d) Appointment of Director. On June 24, 2014, the Board elected Patrick Kinsella to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Mr. Taylor, effective July 1, 2014. Mr. Kinsella will serve until the Company's 2015 annual meeting of stockholders and his successor has been duly elected and qualified.

Prior to his retirement as a senior audit partner with KPMG LLP ("KPMG") in May 2013, Mr. Kinsella spent over 35 years at KPMG serving clients generally concentrated in the financial services sector, including banks, thrifts, mortgage companies, automotive finance companies, alternative investment companies and real estate companies. The Board has determined that Mr. Kinsella is independent under the current New York Stock Exchange independence requirements and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules.

Mr. Kinsella will serve on the Board's Related-Party Matters Committee and its Audit Committee, for which he will serve as Chairman and an "audit committee financial expert" as that term is defined by the SEC.

In consideration for his services as a director, Mr. Kinsella will be entitled to receive compensation on the same terms and in the same amounts as the other independent directors. Accordingly, Mr. Kinsella will receive an annual base retainer of $65,000, as well as additional annual committee retainers of $10,750 for serving as Chairman of the Audit Committee and $5,750 for serving as a member of the Related-Party Matters Committee. In connection with his election to the Board, Mr. Kinsella will receive a one-time equity grant of approximately $87,000 in restricted stock units under the Company's equity incentive plan.

One-third of such restricted stock units shall vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued service through each vesting date. Each such restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's Class A common stock upon settlement.

In connection with his election, the Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Kinsella in the same form that the Company has entered into with its other directors. There are no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which Mr. Kinsella was elected as a director, and there are no related party transactions between the Company and Mr. Kinsella.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company is also filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to retrospectively adjust certain prior period amounts to conform with the segment reporting changes made in connection with changes in the information used by the Company's chief operating decision maker which resulted in a re-evaluation of how we identify our operating segments.

On May 15, 2014, the Company filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 (the "Form 10-Q). As disclosed in the Form 10-Q, the Company enhanced its segment reporting structure as part of a continuing development of its internal management reporting. Such development resulted in changes in the information used by the Company's chief operating decision maker and a re-evaluation of the new information in relation to the Company's operating segments.

The rules of the SEC require that when a registrant prepares, on or after the date a registrant reports an accounting change such as the change noted above, a new registration, proxy or information statement (or amends a previously filed registration, proxy, or information statement) that includes or incorporates by reference financial statements, the registrant must retrospectively adjust the prior period financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the registration, proxy or information statement to reflect the accounting change.

Accordingly, the Company is filing this Form 8-K, in part, to retrospectively adjust the segment information included in the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. These updates have no effect on the Company's previously reported results of operations, financial position or cash flows. All other information in the Form 10-K remains unchanged and has not been otherwise updated for events occurring after December 31, 2013. The retrospectively adjusted information of Items contained in the Company's 2013 Form 10-K is presented in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As a result of the new reporting used by the chief operating decision maker, management concluded that its mortgage banking operations should be disclosed as two segments: loan production and loan servicing. Accordingly, the Company now reports its business activities in three segments: loan production, loan servicing and investment management.

To reflect the enhanced segment reporting structure, the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K updates and supersedes the original filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the "Form 10-K"), as described in Item 9.01. All updates to the Company's Form 10-K relate solely to the presentation of segment-specific disclosure on a basis consistent with the current segment reporting structure. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2014.
