Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, dated June 29, 2011, between AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), AG REIT Management, LLC, Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P. (“Angelo, Gordon”) and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as representative of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), on July 20, 2011 the Underwriters exercised in part their over-allotment option to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Additional Shares”) at $20.00 per share. The over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 825,000 shares of the Company’s common stock was granted in connection with the Company’s recent initial public offering (“IPO”) of 5.5 million shares. The Company completed the sale of the Additional Shares on July 20, 2011.
As previously disclosed, concurrently with the IPO, the Company completed a private placement, consisting of (i) 3,205,000 units, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.5 of a share of common stock, at $20.00 per unit, and (ii) 500,000 shares of common stock at $20.00 per share to certain affiliates of Angelo, Gordon. The warrants have an exercise price of $20.50 and are exercisable during the seven-year period commencing on June 29, 2011. Total proceeds from the private placements were $74.1 million.
The Company received proceeds of $16 million from the sale of the Additional Shares. At the completion of the offering, after giving effect to the partial exercise of the over-allotment option and the private placement, the Company has sold a total of 10,005,000 shares of common stock and raised approximately $198.1 million in net proceeds.
