PennyMac CLO Derek Stark reports minor share gift in Form 4

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 discloses that on 25 Jul 2025, PennyMac Financial Services (PFSI) Chief Legal Officer Derek Stark executed a transaction coded “G,” indicating a bona-fide gift of 250 common shares to a family member. No consideration was paid (price $0).

Following the gift, Stark’s direct beneficial ownership stands at 25,371 PFSI shares, composed of 19,750 unrestricted common shares and 5,621 restricted stock units (RSUs) that will settle one-for-one in stock upon future vesting.

The filing, signed 28 Jul 2025, reflects a routine estate-planning transfer; it does not alter the executive’s overall economic exposure in a material way and carries no immediate earnings, cash-flow or valuation implications for shareholders.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine gift of 250 shares; negligible impact on float or insider sentiment.

The transaction represents just 1% of Stark’s post-gift holdings and less than 0.001% of PFSI’s 56 mn-share float. Because it is a non-monetary transfer, it neither signals bullish selling pressure nor raises liquidity concerns. Insider retains meaningful exposure via 25 k shares, suggesting alignment remains intact. Overall, the filing is administratively important but not financially material for investors.
