Item 5.03.   Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
     On March 27, 2008, PHH Corporation (“PHH”, “Company”, “we” or “our”) reclassified 8,910,000 shares of authorized and unissued preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company into the same number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company subject to further classification or reclassification and issuance by the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company reclassified the shares in order to ensure that a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of common stock of the Company will be available to underlie the convertible senior notes it proposes to offer, as described in more detail in Item 8.01, below. As a result of such reclassification, the number of shares of common stock the Company is authorized to issue increased to 108,910,000 shares and the number of shares of preferred stock the Company is authorized to issue decreased to 1,090,000 shares. PHH filed Articles Supplementary effecting the reclassification with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation on March 27, 2008. The summary set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles Supplementary, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”) as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 8.01.   Other Events.
     On March 27, 2008 the Company issued a press release announcing its intention to offer $150 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes and a 30-day over-allotment option, beginning on and including the first date of original issue of the notes, to purchase up to $22.5 million additional aggregate principal amount of the notes, subject to market and other conditions. A copy of this press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
