We Are A Leading Residential Mortgage REIT

• Closed acquisition of RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC, a transformative partnership that we believe will add significant value for stakeholders of Two Harbors through increased cashflows, operational efficiencies and the ability to participate more fully in the mortgage finance space as opportunities arise.

• Announced that we agreed to acquire RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation, a residential mortgage loan servicer, which is expected to close in Q3 2023 and result in several benefits to the company, including:

  • long-term opportunities to expand upon and leverage RoundPoint's existing servicing platform and capabilities to pursue additional business opportunities

• Reported book value of $17.72 at December 31, 2022, compared to $23.47 at December 31, 2021.
