The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its holders of common stock. In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), the Company must distribute annually to its stockholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. 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.
As of July 9, 2025, the Company had126,715,437shares of common stock outstanding. As ofJune 30, 2025, the Company had126,566,926shares of common stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had107,786,614 shares of common stock outstanding.

The Company’s estimated book value per share as ofJune 30, 2025was $7.21.

The Company estimates it generated a net lossper share of $0.29for the quarter endedJune 30, 2025,which includes an estimated $0.45per shareof net realized and unrealizedlosses on RMBS and derivative instruments.These amounts compare to total dividends declared during the quarter of $0.36per share.Netlossper common share calculated under generally accepted accounting principles can, and does, differ from our REIT taxable income. The Company views REIT taxable income as a better indication of income to be paid in the form of a dividend rather than net income. Many components of REIT taxable income can only be estimated at this time and our monthly dividends declared are based on both estimates of REIT taxable income to be earned over the course of the current quarter and calendar year and a longer-term estimate of the REIT taxable income of the Company. These figures are preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
