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 Companys
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

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.

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
