Item 7.01    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 6, 2019, PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC, has filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) against Black Knight, Inc. (“Black Knight”) in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging that Black Knight uses its market-dominating LoanSphere® MSP mortgage loan servicing system to engage in unfair business tactics that both entrap its licensees and create barriers to entry that stifle competition. The Complaint alleges that Black Knight violated the federal Sherman Act, the California Cartwright Act and California’s Unfair Competition Law and engaged in unfair competition under common law. The Company seeks, among other relief, to preliminarily and permanently enjoin Black Knight’s wrongful practices, and seeks the recovery of actual and statutory damages. A copy of the press release and the Complaint are furnished with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.
