This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of Pennant Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Pennant Capital"), and Alan Fournier, a United States citizen ("Mr. Fournier," and together with Pennant Capital, the "Reporting Persons"), and further amends the Schedule 13D originally filed on March 22, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on April 30, 2007, Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on June 20, 2007, Amendment No. 3 thereto filed on August 3, 2007, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on August 10, 2007 and Amendment No. 5 thereto filed on August 15, 2008 (all as amended by this Amendment No. 6, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of PHH Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Schedule 13D. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated as follows: Funds for the purchase of the shares of Common Stock reported herein to be held by Offshore, Onshore, Qualified, Spinnaker, Windward LP and Windward Ltd. were derived from their respective general working capital and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business. A total of approximately $145 million was paid to acquire the shares of Common Stock reported herein. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows: (a) Pennant Capital is the manager of each of Offshore, Onshore, Qualified, Spinnaker, Windward LP and Windward Ltd., and consequently has voting control and investment discretion over the securities held by each of Offshore, Onshore, Qualified, Spinnaker, Windward LP and Windward Ltd. Mr. Fournier is the managing member of, and thereby controls, Pennant Capital. As a result, Pennant Capital and Mr. Fournier may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by the Funds. As of the date hereof, the Funds collectively hold 5,407,141 shares of Common Stock representing 9.97% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentages used herein are based upon the 54,256,294 shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding as of July 16, 2008 by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2008. (b) The Reporting Persons share voting and dispositive power over the 5,407,141 shares of Common Stock held directly by the Funds. (c) Annex I hereto sets forth certain information with respect to transactions by the Funds (at the direction of Pennant Capital and Mr. Fournier) in Common Stock during the past 60 days. All of the transactions set forth on Annex I were effected in the open market. - 4 - Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following thereto: The Funds have entered into certain standardized, cash-settled swap agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Services, Inc., as the counterparty, for which the Common Stock is the reference security. Annex II hereto sets forth the date of each such swap agreement, the number of notional shares of Common Stock covered by each of the agreements, the reference price for the Common Stock covered by each agreement and the termination date of each agreement. Under each swap agreement, the Funds have taken the "long" side of the swap and therefore are entitled to the economic benefits, and are subject to the economic risks, of owning the Common Stock, but have no rights or powers with respect to any shares of Common Stock as a result of the agreement. Neither Pennant Capital, Mr. Fournier nor any of the Funds is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock as a result of the swap agreements described above, and, accordingly, the number of shares of Common Stock stated as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons in this Schedule 13D does not include any ownership as a result of such swap agreements. The swap agreements terminate on the dates set forth in Annex II hereto or upon the written notice of either party.
