PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust Announces LIBOR Replacement Rate for its Series A and Series B Preferred Shares

In March 2021, the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority announced that after June 30, 2023, the USD LIBOR for a three-month tenor would cease publication or no longer be representative. In connection with the cessation of representative USD LIBOR, in March 2022, the U.S. Congress enacted the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the "LIBOR Act”), and in December 2022 the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") issued a final rule thereunder (the "LIBOR Rule”). The LIBOR Rule provides with respect to any reference in the terms of a security requiring a poll or inquiries for quotes or information related to USD LIBOR (“Polling Provisions”) contained in so called “fallback provisions” applicable in the event USD LIBOR is not published, such Polling Provisions shall be disregarded and deemed null and void and without any force or effect.

In accordance with the Articles Supplementary for each of the Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) and the Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest (the “Series B Preferred Shares”), and disregarding the Polling Provisions contained therein, the applicable dividend rate for dividend periods from and after March 15, 2024, in the case of the Series A Preferred Shares, or June 15, 2024, in the case of the Series B Preferred Shares, shall be calculated at the dividend rate in effect for the immediately preceding dividend period. As a result, the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares will continue to accumulate dividends from and after March 15, 2024, in the case of the Series A Preferred Shares, or June 15, 2024, in the case of the Series B Preferred Shares, at their current annual fixed rate and will not transition to a floating reference rate.
