(b) On March 16, 2012, John Angelo, Chairman of the Board and Executive Chairman of AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), informed the Company that he will not stand for re-election as a member of the Board of Directors at the Company's 2012 annual meeting of stockholders, which is expected to occur on or about May 18, 2012. This decision is unrelated to, and will have no impact on, Mr. Angelo's continuing role as Chief Executive Officer of Angelo, Gordon & Co, L.P. ("Angelo Gordon"), an affiliate of the Company. Mr. Angelo will continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors until his current term expires on the date of the Company's 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.
Mr. Angelo informed the Company that his decision is due to time constraints and his other board obligations, and is not the result of any disagreement with the Company or because of any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. Mr. Angelo, as Chief Executive Officer of Angelo Gordon, will remain involved in the activities of the external manager of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company expressed its appreciation to Mr. Angelo for his service to the Company.
