PLEASE READ: Important Regulatory and Yield Estimate Risk Disclosures 3 During the third quarter, Agency MBS continued to widen on an OAS basis (chart below) and payer swap spread yields traded inside of U.S. Treasury ten year notes. It is quite unusual for these events to occur at once, but in these times of central bank intervention, many unusual events have occurred. The combination of wider mortgage spreads and inverted swap yields caused a decline in the book value of ARR during Q3 of approximately 8.3% vs. ending Q2. During October, however, some of these trends have reversed and almost 1.5% of that book value has been regained. As of October 16, book value stands at approximately $29.32 - $29.64, or down 6.9% from the end of Q2. Our equity capital markets activity has been robust. During September of this year, the Company purchased 1,495,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $20.46. In October, and through October 16th, the Company has purchased 2,190,700 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $20.98. The Company purchased $76.6 million of shares in September and October at an average price of $20.77. That is 29.5% below the current estimated book value today of $29.32 - $29.64. (1) The OAS data was compiled from a third party service as of 10/16/2015
