Item 8.01. Other Events.
On July 11, 2012, New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that during June 2012, the Company completed the purchase in the secondary market of certain securities issued by a Freddie Mac-sponsored multi-family loan securitization. The securities purchased include the first loss tranche of this Freddie Mac-sponsored multi-family loan securitization as well as certain interest only securities issued by that securitization. These multi-family CMBS are collateralized by 68 mortgage loans on 68 multi-family properties located throughout the United States. The purchase price for these assets was approximately $35.2 million. The Company used the net proceeds from its May 2012 public offering of common stock and short-term indebtedness to fund its purchase of these assets.
In addition, the Company announced that as of June 30, 2012, the Company’s multi-family CMBS portfolio was comprised of the first loss tranche (principal only securities) and certain interest only securities issued by certain Freddie Mac-sponsored multi-family loan securitizations, which the Company acquired during the course of 2011 and 2012 for an aggregate purchase price of $101.3 million. Of this amount at June 30, 2012, the first loss principal only securities included in the Company’s multi-family CMBS portfolio were purchased at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $79.8 million and have an aggregate current par value amount of approximately $322.8 million, while the interest only securities included in our multi-family CMBS portfolio were purchased at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $21.6 million and have an aggregate estimated current par value amount of approximately $3.3 billion.
