On April 26, 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement under which the Company would acquire CYS Investments, Inc., or CYS, a Maryland corporation investing in primarily Agency RMBS and treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In connection with the merger, CYS stockholders will exchange their shares of CYS common stock for newly issued shares of Two Harbors common stock as well as aggregate cash consideration of $15.0 million. The number of Two Harbors shares issued will be based on an exchange ratio to be determined by dividing 96.75% of CYS’ adjusted book value per share by 94.20% of the Company’s adjusted book value per share. The actual exchange ratio for the merger will be publicly announced at least five business days prior to the required stockholder votes on the merger. The completion of the merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions, and is subject to the approval of the stockholders of both the Company and CYS. The companies expect the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2018.
In connection with the merger, the Management Agreement dated as of October 28, 2009, as amended, among the Company, Two Harbors Operating Company LLC and PRCM Advisers was amended to (i) reduce PRCM Advisers’ base management fee with respect to the additional equity under management resulting from the merger to 0.75% from the effective time through the first anniversary of the effective time and (ii) for the fiscal quarter in which closing of the merger occurs, to make a one-time downward adjustment of Pine River’s management fees payable by Two Harbors for such quarter by $15.0 million to offset the cash consideration payable to stockholders of CYS, plus an additional downward adjustment of up to $3.3 million for certain transaction-related expenses.
