Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation

Note 22—Share-Based Compensation

The Company has an equity incentive plan, adopted in 2019, that provides for the issuance of equity based awards based on Common Shares that may be made by the Company to its officers and trustees, and the members, officers, trustees, directors and employees of PCM, PFSI, or their affiliates and to PCM, PFSI and other entities that provide services to PMT and the employees of such other entities.

The equity incentive plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee, pursuant to authority delegated by PMT’s board of trustees, which has the authority to make awards to the eligible participants referenced above, and to determine what form the awards will take, and the terms and conditions of the awards.

The equity incentive plan allows for the grant of restricted and performance-based share and unit awards.

The shares underlying award grants will again be available for award under the equity incentive plan if:

•any shares subject to an award granted under the equity incentive plan are forfeited, canceled, exchanged or surrendered;

•an award terminates or expires without a distribution of shares to the participant; or

•shares are surrendered or withheld by PMT as payment of either the exercise price of an award and/or withholding taxes for an award.

Restricted share units have been awarded to trustees and officers of the Company and to other employees of PFSI and its subsidiaries at no cost to the grantees. Such awards generally vest over a one- to three-year period.
