The above spread scenario is provided for illustration purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of Two Harbors’ financial condition and operating results, nor is it necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results of operations that may be expected for any future period or date. RMBS + MSR(1) RMBS + RATES(2) LOW EXPOSURE TO CURRENT COUPON SPREAD • The charts below illustrate a point-in-time view of our risk exposure through the lens of: Agency RMBS paired with MSR (RMBS + MSR(1)) and Agency RMBS hedged with Rates (RMBS + RATES(2)) ◦ RMBS + MSR(1): Exposure shifted towards the 2.5% coupon as rates rose somewhat. Book value exposure to current coupon spreads is low, at -0.5% for a 25 bps widening ◦ RMBS + RATES(2): Exposure remains concentrated in higher coupons, having flattened out the 2% and 2.5% coupon exposure. Book value exposure to current coupon spreads is low at -1.5% for a 25 bps widening but higher compared to RMBS + MSR(1) BOOK VALUE EXPOSURE TO CURRENT COUPON SPREAD(4) EFFECTIVE COUPON POSITIONING

As defined, EAD includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, U.S. Treasury futures income, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR, management fees and recurring cash related operating expenses. Dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements. EAD provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the Company’s results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers. EAD is one of several measures our board of directors considers to determine the amount of dividends to declare on our common stock and should not be considered an indication of our taxable income or as a proxy for the amount of dividends we may declare. EAD includes U.S. Treasury futures income of $0.03 per basic common share for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Had U.S. Treasury futures income been included for the three months ended June 30, 2021, EAD would have been $0.02 higher, or $0.21 per basic common share.
