Use of Proceeds:   

We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $411.2 million (or approximately $473.0 million if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full), after deduction of underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to (i) redeem all of our outstanding Series E Preferred Stock, with an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $287.5 million, plus a sum equal to all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock, up to, but not including, the redemption date and (ii) partially redeem our outstanding Series C Preferred Stock.

 

We intend to use the remaining net proceeds of this offering, if any, for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, to pay down obligations and other working capital items. We may also use the net proceeds of this offering to acquire targeted assets under our capital allocation policy, which may include further diversification of our investments in Agency MBS assets as well as residential, commercial and corporate credit assets. These investments include, without limitation, residential credit assets (including residential mortgage loans), middle market corporate debt, Agency MBS pools, to-be-announced forward contracts, adjustable rate mortgages, commercial real estate loans and securities and mortgage servicing rights.

 

Pending these uses, we intend to maintain the net proceeds of this offering in interest-bearing, short-term, marketable investment grade securities or (interest or non-interest bearing) checking (or escrow) accounts or money market accounts that are consistent with our intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT. These investments may include, for example, government securities other than Agency MBS, certificates of deposit and interest-bearing bank deposits. These investments are expected to provide a lower net return than we will seek to achieve from our targeted assets.
