Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 28, 2009, Two Harbors Investment Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), closed the merger transaction (the “Merger”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 11, 2009, as amended as of August 17, 2009 and September 20, 2009 ( the “Merger Agreement”), among Capitol Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Capitol”), the Company, Two Harbors Merger Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub Corp.”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Pine River Capital Management L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Pine River”). As a result of the Merger, Capitol became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Capitol held special meetings on October 26, 2009 of its stockholders and warrant holders. At the stockholders’ meeting, Capitol stockholders, among other things, approved the Merger and amendments to Capitol’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation to permit Capitol to complete the Merger with Merger Sub Corp.

Supplement and Amendment to the Warrant Agreement

At the warrant holders’ meeting, the warrant holders approved a supplement and amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) to the warrant agreement that governs the Capitol warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”). On October 28, 2009, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into the Warrant Amendment with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and Capitol. The terms of the Warrant Amendment (i) increased the exercise price of the warrants from $7.50 per share to $11.00 per share, (ii) extended the expiration date of the warrants from November 7, 2012 to November 7, 2013 and (iii) limited a holder’s ability to exercise warrants to ensure that such holder’s Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership as defined in the Company’s charter does not exceed the restrictions contained in the charter limiting the ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Warrant Amendment also made certain other changes to ensure that the warrants of the Company that were received by the holders of warrants of Capitol after the Merger are governed by the Warrant Agreement and that the Company assumed all of the rights and obligations of Capitol under the Warrant Agreement after the Merger.

The preceding summary of the Warrant Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the amendment, a form of which is included as Annex G to the definitive proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-160199), declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 9, 2009.

Management Agreement

On October 28, 2009, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with PRCM Advisers LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Manager”) and a subsidiary of Pine River, pursuant to which the Manager will provide the day-to-day management of the Company’s operations. The Management Agreement requires the Manager to manage the Company’s business affairs in conformity with investment guidelines and other policies that are approved and monitored by the Company’s board of directors. The Manager is entitled to receive from the Company a base management fee equal to 1.5% per annum, calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, of the Company’s stockholders’ equity (as defined in the Management Agreement). The Company is also obligated to reimburse certain expenses incurred by the Manager. The Management Agreement has an initial three-year term and will be renewed for one-year terms thereafter unless terminated by either the Company or the Manager. Under certain circumstances, the Manager is entitled to receive a termination fee from the Company equal to three times the sum of the average annual management fee during the 24-month period immediately preceding such termination, calculated as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter before the date of termination.

The preceding summary of the Management Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreement, a form of which is included as Annex D to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Registration Rights Agreement

On October 28, 2009, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Capitol, Pine River’s Nisswa Acquisition Master Fund Ltd. (the “Nisswa Acquisition Fund”) and certain officers, directors and security holders of Capitol (the “Capitol Founders” and, collectively with the Nisswa Acquisition Fund, the “Holders”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to the warrants issued to the Holders in the Merger and the shares of the Company’s common stock that may be purchased upon the exercise of such warrants, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC at, or as soon as practicable after, the closing date of the Merger, subject to certain customary conditions and limitations. Capitol will pay certain expenses in connection with any registration effected pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, but the Holders will pay the underwriting or brokerage commissions or discounts associated with the sale of their respective securities.

The preceding summary of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

Share Ownership Limit Agreements

On October 28, 2009, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Integrated Holding Group LP exempting Integrated Holding Group LP and Integrated Core Strategies (US) LLC (collectively, the “Millennium Holder”) from the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit and the Common Stock Ownership Limit (each as defined in the Company’s charter) and establishing an Excepted Holder Limit (as defined in the Company’s charter) for the Millennium Holder pursuant to which the Millennium Holder may acquire and hold 632,974 shares of Company’s common stock and may exercise warrants exercisable into 5,146,600 shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Federated Kaufmann Fund, Federated Kaufmann Fund II and Federated Kaufmann Growth Fund (collectively, the “Federated Kaufmann Holders”) exempting the Federated Kaufmann Holders from the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit and the Common Stock Ownership Limit (each as defined in the Company’s charter) and establishing an Excepted Holder Limit (as defined in the Company’s charter) for the Federated Kaufmann Holders pursuant to which the Federated Kaufmann Holders may together acquire and hold in the aggregate 3,065,859 shares of Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions. Further, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Whitebox Special Opportunities Fund, LP Series A (the “Whitebox Holder”) exempting the Whitebox Holder from the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit and the Common Stock Ownership Limit (each as defined in the Company’s charter) and establishing an Excepted Holder Limit (as defined in the Company’s charter) for the Whitebox Holder pursuant to which the Whitebox Holder may acquire and hold in the aggregate 2,127,480 shares of Company’s common stock and may exercise warrants exercisable into 466,800 shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

The preceding summary of such letter agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreements, which are filed as Exhibit 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 hereto.

Letter Agreement

In addition, in connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company, Capitol and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., an underwriter in Capitol’s initial public offering, agreed to a reduction of the deferred underwriting commissions owed to such underwriter in exchange for certain rights to participate in future securities offerings of Two Harbors. The preceding summary of such letter agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 hereto.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Stockholder

Two Harbors Investment Corp.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Two Harbors Investment Corp. (the Company) as of June 30, 2009. The balance sheet is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the balance sheet based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Organization

Two Harbors Investment Corp. (Two Harbors) is a newly formed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) that intends to focus on investing in, financing, and managing residential mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans.

Two Harbors’ objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to its investors over the long term, primarily through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. Two Harbors intends to acquire and manage a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, focusing on security selection and the relative value of various sectors within the mortgage market. Two Harbors will initially seek to invest in the following asset classes:

 

   

Residential mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) for which a U.S. government agency, such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), or a federally chartered corporation, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) guarantees payments of principal and interest on the securities. Two Harbors refers to these securities as Agency RMBS.

 

   

RMBS that are not issued or guaranteed by a U.S. government agency (non-Agency RMBS).

 

   

Assets other than RMBS, comprising between 5% and 10% of the portfolio.

As part of its investment strategy, Two Harbors expects to deploy moderate borrowings through, with respect to Agency RMBS, short-term borrowings structured as repurchase agreements and, with respect to non-Agency RMBS and residential mortgage loans, private funding sources. Two Harbors may also finance portions of its portfolio through non-recourse term borrowing facilities and equity financing under the Legacy Loan Program and Term Asset-Backed Securities Lending Facility (TALF), if such financing becomes available.

Two Harbors will be externally managed and advised by PRCM Advisers LLC, or the Two Harbors Manager, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pine River Capital Management L.P. (Pine River).

Two Harbors is a Maryland corporation that intends to elect and qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with Two Harbors’ taxable year ending December 31, 2009. Two Harbors generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on its taxable income to the extent that it annually distributes all of its net taxable income to stockholders and maintain its intended qualification as a REIT. Two Harbors also intends to operate its business in a manner that will permit it to maintain its exemption from registration under the 1940 Act.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The balance sheet has been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the balance sheet in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Agreements

Two Harbors will enter into a management agreement with the Two Harbors Manager as the REIT’s Manager. Two Harbors will pay the Two Harbors Manager a management fee in an amount equal to 1.5% per annum, calculated and payable quarterly in arrears, of Two Harbors stockholder’s equity and the reimbursement of certain expenses. No management fee has been incurred as of June 30, 2009, because the intended nature of business for Two Harbors as a REIT has yet to commence.

 

F-3


The Two Harbors Manager will use the proceeds from its management fee in part to pay compensation to its officers and personnel who, notwithstanding that certain of them also are Two Harbors’ officers, will receive no cash compensation directly from Two Harbors. Further, although Two Harbors generally will have no obligation to reimburse the Two Harbors Manager for the salary, bonus, benefit and other compensation costs of the personnel of the Two Harbors Manager and its affiliates who provide services to Two Harbors under the management agreement, Two Harbors will reimburse the Two Harbors Manager for (i) Two Harbors’ allocable share of the compensation paid by the Two Harbors Manager to its personnel serving as Two Harbors’ principal financial officer and general counsel and personnel employed by the Two Harbors Manager as in-house legal, tax, accounting, consulting, auditing, administrative, information technology, valuation, computer programming and development and back-office resources to Two Harbors, and (ii) any amounts for personnel of the Two Harbors Manager’s affiliates arising under a shared facilities and services agreement between the Two Harbors Manager and Pine River.

Two Harbors expects to enter into certain contracts that may contain a variety of indemnification obligations, principally with brokers, underwriters, and counterparties to repurchase agreements. The maximum potential future payment amount Two Harbors could be required to pay under these indemnification obligations may be unlimited.

4. Organizational Costs

Organization costs incurred on behalf of Two Harbors have been paid for by Pine River. Pine River will not be reimbursed by Two Harbors for these organization costs. As a result, no statement of operations is presented.

5. Capital

As of June 30, 2009, 1,000 shares of common stock ($0.01 par) have been issued and are outstanding. Pine River is the sole stockholder.

6. Related Parties

Two Harbors’ executive officers are also employees of Pine River. As a result, the management agreement between Two Harbors and the REIT Manager was negotiated between related parties, and the terms, including fees and other amounts payable, may not be as favorable to Two Harbors than if they had been negotiated with an unaffiliated third party.

Two Harbors is also a 100% owner of Two Harbors Merger Corp. which is recorded on the Two Harbors balance sheet as “long-term investments.” Two Harbors Merger Corp. issued 100 shares at $0.01 par value to Two Harbors.

7. Subsequent Events

On June 11, 2009, Capitol Acquisition Corp. (Capitol), Two Harbors and Pine River, entered into a merger agreement whereby Capitol would merge with Two Harbors Merger Corp. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Two Harbors), with Capitol being the surviving entity and becoming an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Two Harbors. As a result of the merger, the holders of common stock and common stock warrants of Capitol will receive similar securities of Two Harbors, on a one-to-one basis, in exchange for their existing Capitol securities, except that the common stock owned by Capitol’s founding shareholders will be canceled.

On October 26, 2009, Capitol and Two Harbors announced that Capitol’s stockholders approved the proposed merger transaction, and the transaction closed on October 28, 2009. After consummation of the transaction, Two Harbors has 13,401,368 shares of common stock outstanding and 33,249,000 warrants outstanding. Capitol stockholders holding 6,875,130 shares voted against the transaction and converted their shares into cash at $9.87 per share at the closing. Capitol stockholders holding an additional 5,994,661 shares entered into forward sales agreements to sell their shares to Capitol for $9.87 per share at the closing.

At the closing, approximately $259 million was released from the trust account. Approximately $127 million was paid from the trust funds to the stockholders who converted their shares or sold them to the Company. Closing costs associated with the transaction totaled approximately $8 million. Accordingly, as of closing the Company had approximately $124 million in cash available to fund investments and operations, and a book value of approximately $9.30 per share.

Events subsequent to June 30, 2009 were evaluated through October 30, 2009, the date for which these financial statements were issued.
