The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its holders of common stock.

The Company will be subject to income tax on taxable income that is not distributed and to an excise tax to the extent that a certain percentage of its taxable income is not distributed by specified dates. The Company has not established a minimum distribution payment level and is not assured of its ability to make distributions to stockholders in the future.
The estimated results for the fourth quarter of 2025, consisting of estimated book value per share, estimated GAAP net income per share (including estimated net realized and unrealized gains on RMBS and derivative instruments per share), and estimated total return on equity will be released following the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, January 14, 2026.
