Pennant Capital Management, LLC Alerts PHH Corporation Stockholders to April
22, 2009 Record Date for PHH's 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
Urges Stockholders to Take Steps to Ensure Ability to Vote at June 10, 2009
Meeting
NEW YORK, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Pennant Capital Management, LLC, PHH
Corporation's (NYSE: PHH) largest stockholder, noted today that PHH
Corporation has set a record date of April 22, 2009 and a meeting date of June
10, 2009 for its upcoming 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders according to the
New York Stock Exchange Bulletin.
Pennant, the beneficial holder of approximately 9.97% of PHH Corporation's
common shares, has notified PHH that it intends to nominate two independent
candidates -- Allan Z. Loren and Gregory J. Parseghian -- for election to
PHH's board at the June 10, 2009 Annual Meeting. Pennant expects to file its
preliminary proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the
near future.
Pennant urges PHH stockholders to take the necessary steps with their
custodial banks and brokerage firms to ensure they have the ability to vote at
PHH's upcoming Annual Meeting. Shares held in margin accounts may be loaned
out by brokers on the April 22, 2009 record date and, if subject to a stock
loan, cannot be voted by the beneficial owner whose shares were loaned out.
In order to ensure that PHH stockholders have the ability to vote, they should
move their shares into a cash account in advance of the April 22 record date.
Investors who are "long" PHH through equity swaps do not have the right to
vote shares at the PHH Annual Meeting. In order to have the ability to vote
in respect of a PHH position held in swap, investors should begin the process
of unwinding any swaps and moving into physical shares so that the transaction
settles in advance of the April 22 record date.
Investors who are invested in PHH through swap, or who are interested in
adding to their ownership of PHH, should complete any purchases by April 17 in
order to allow for trade settlement by the record date and to allow the shares
to vote at the Annual Meeting.
