(1) The company’s June 30, 2017 debt-to-equity ratio includes the consolidation of Granite Point’s assets and liabilities.  Excluding the noncontrolling interest from the Granite Point IPO, the company’s debt-to-equity ratio as of June 30, 2017 would have been 4.7x.


 
Tax Considerations for Distribution of Granite Point Shares 8 INTEND TO DISTRIBUTE GRANITE POINT STOCK VIA A SPECIAL DIVIDEND • Goal is to distribute cash dividends that equal Two Harbors’ earnings and profit in 2017; may result in special cash dividend later in the year, but expect amount to be relatively insignificant • Effect a return of capital that will be approximately equal to the fair market value of the Granite Point common stock distributed to stockholders • Granite Point shares are currently subject to 120-day lockup period; dividend remains subject to approval from the Board of Directors DISTRIBUTION RATIO • Based on June 30, 2017 shares outstanding of approximately 349 million, the distribution ratio would be approximately 1 share of Granite Point for every 10 common shares of Two Harbors • Final distribution ratio will be based on the number of shares outstanding as of the dividend record date DIVIDEND VALUATION • Valuation of distribution will be subject to Granite Point market price changes until the distribution date of Granite Point shares to Two Harbors’ common shareholders • As of June 30, 2017, approximately 33.1 million shares of Granite Point would have been valued at $625.7 million, or $1.82 per common share of Two Harbors, based on Granite Point’s June 30, 2017 closing price of $18.92 per share


 
Diversified Financing Profile 9 OPTIMIZING FINANCING STRUCTURE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS • Outstanding borrowings of $13.3 billion with 25 active counterparties; 32 total counterparties • Repo markets functioning efficiently for RMBS • Repo balance includes the consolidation of Granite Point financing facilities FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF DES MOINES • Outstanding secured advances of $3.2 billion • Weighted average borrowing rate of 1.52% • Anticipate secured advances to decline in future quarters FINANCING FOR MSR • Outstanding borrowings of $40.0 million under revolving credit facilities • Additional available capacity of $50.0 million as of June 30, 2017

As defined, Core Earnings includes interest income or expense and premium income or loss on derivative instruments and servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR. We believe the presentation of Core Earnings provides investors greater transparency into our period-over-period financial performance and facilitates comparisons to peer REITs. (2) This non-cash equity compensation expense was included in Core Earnings for periods ending prior to March 31, 2017.
