Mission  To be recognized as an industry-leading mortgage REIT. Hybrid Mortgage REIT  Flexibility as a hybrid REIT to take advantage of opportunities in both Agency and non-Agency sectors, including unsecuritized assets.  Ability to diversify into areas that capitalize on our core competencies.  Leverage opportunities and optimize shareholder value. Business Diversification Initiatives  Single Family Residential Properties ― As of October 31st, we had acquired a portfolio of approximately $240 million and over 2,000 homes. ― Represents an attractive asset class given long duration, current yield and potential home price appreciation.  Securitization ― Continue to monitor the environment while maintaining an opportunistic approach. ― Increased commitments to acquire prime jumbo loans.  Key Hires ― Nick Smith joined our team in September. Nick brings a skill set in residential loans and MSRs. ― Dan Koch joined Two Harbors in October. Dan has an extensive background in sourcing loan acquisitions and development of business diversification initiatives. ― Bill Greenberg joined Two Harbors in November. Bill’s experience will add depth to our mortgage trading platform while expanding our risk management and analytical capabilities. Mission-Based Strategy 2


 
Compelling Market Drivers 3  The U.S. government has indicated its intent to reduce its involvement in the RMBS market and banks are adjusting their portfolios due to new regulatory framework for capital and liquidity requirements.  Sources of private capital, including mortgage REITs, are essential to fill the void in housing and mortgage sectors. Reducing the role of the GSEs should be universally popular as it mitigates credit exposure for the taxpayer.  It will take many years to address all the issues surrounding housing finance.  The Fed is the largest buyer in the mortgage market today.  Policy considerations are increasingly important to the performance of the market.  The Federal Reserve’s commitment to continue to keep short-term interest rates low provides funding visibility. We have the opportunity to serve as a permanent source of capital to the mortgage sector.
