                             Introductory Statement

     This  Amendment  No. 1  amends  and  supplements  the  Issuer  Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO-I filed by Dynex Capital,  Inc., a Virginia corporation
("Dynex"),  relating  to a cash  tender  offer  and offer to  exchange  up to an
aggregate  492,425  shares of its Series A Preferred  Stock,  up to an aggregate
662,944 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock,  and up to an aggregate  683,703
shares of its Series C Preferred  Stock (or, in each case, such lesser number of
shares as are properly  tendered and not properly  withdrawn),  for cash,  9.50%
Senior Notes,  due February 28, 2005 (the "Senior  Notes"),  or a combination of
cash and Senior Notes,  each subject to the terms and conditions of the Offering
Circular,  dated  January 8, 2003 (as amended  from time to time,  the "Offer to
Exchange").  The Offer to Exchange,  which is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1),
is incorporated herein by reference.

     This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule TO-I in order to:

          (i)  Delete the last two sentences of the second full paragraph of the
section of the Offer to Exchange entitled "Incorporation of Certain Documents by
Reference."

         (ii)  Delete the third full  paragraph  of the  section of the Offer to
Exchange  entitled  "Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference" and insert
in place of such paragraph:

         "If  any  statement  contained  in any of the  foregoing  documents  is
modified or superseded by a statement in this Offering  Circular,  the statement
in any such foregoing  document will be deemed for the purposes of this Offering
Circular to have been modified or superseded by such  statement in this Offering
Circular,  and the statement in any such foregoing  document is  incorporated by
reference herein only as modified or to the extent it is not superseded."

        (iii)  Change the  disclosure  in the Offer to Exchange to indicate that
tenders pursuant to the Offer (as such term is defined in the Offer to Exchange)
may be  withdrawn,  if not yet accepted for  payment,  after March 6, 2003.  The
foregoing  change  appears  in the Offer to  Exchange  in each of the  following
sections: in the seventh full paragraph of the introductory section of the Offer
to  Exchange;  in the second  sentence  of the  section of the Offer to Exchange
entitled  "Summary Term Sheet of the Offer--Will I be able to withdraw shares of
Preferred  Stock that I tender into the Offer?;" in the first full  paragraph on
page 23 of the Offer to  Exchange;  and in the first  sentence of the section of
the Offer to Exchange entitled "The Offer--Withdrawal Rights."

         (iv)  Delete the second to the last  sentence of the last  paragraph in
the  section of the Offer to Exchange  entitled  "The  Offer--Conditions  to the
Offer" and insert in place of such sentence:  "Dynex'  failure at any time prior
to the  Expiration  Time to exercise any of the foregoing  shall not be deemed a
waiver of any such  right,  and each such right shall be deemed a right that may
be asserted at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Time."
