Item 1.01              Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 18, 2017, Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and certain purchasers entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company sold $56.0 million worth of shares of its common stock in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) at a price of $12.66 per share.  In the Offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,423,381 shares of common stock (the “Shares”).

The Shares sold in the Offering were issued pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-215199) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated April 18, 2017, which the Company filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act.

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $55.4 million after deducting the financial advisory fee and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including general administrative expenses and working capital and capital expenditures, development costs, strategic investments or possible acquisitions, or repayment of debt.   We have no present understandings, commitments or agreements to enter into any acquisitions.  The Company also entered into a Financial Advisory Agreement with JMP Securities LLC (“JMP”) further to which the Company agreed to pay JMP an advisory fee in connection with the Offering.

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

The agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.
