INTRODUCTION
This combined Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement (collectively the “Schedule TO”) relates to:
(a) The offer (the “Note Offer”) by Dynex Capital, Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Dynex Capital”) to exchange up to an aggregate of 345,579 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock, 481,819 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock, and 479,512 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its Series C Preferred Stock (or, in each case, such lesser number of shares as are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn), for 9.50% Senior Notes due 2007 (the “Senior Notes”), each subject to the terms and conditions of the Offering Circular (as amended from time to time, the “Offering Circular”) attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1)(A). Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(1)(ii), the total number of shares purchased in the Note Offer may be increased to 355,450 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, 495,582 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and 493,209 shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
(b) A proposal to amend the Articles of Incorporation of Dynex Capital to convert all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock after the Notes Offer into shares of a new series of Series D Preferred Stock and Common Stock (the “Series D conversion”), all as described in the Proxy Statement incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit (a)(2)(A) (as amended from time to time, the “Proxy Statement”).
This Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and pursuant to Instruction J to Schedule TO, it is intended to constitute a combined Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3. The filing of Schedule 13E-3 under the cover of this Schedule TO is appropriate because as a consequence of the Series D conversion, the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock will each cease to be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market. For the purposes of this Schedule TO, where disclosure is required by both Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3, the response to the required disclosure is set forth under the applicable item of Schedule TO.

SCHEDULE 13E-3, ITEM 8. Fairness of the Transaction.
(a) Fairness. The information set forth in the Offering Circular under “Summary Term Sheet – Do the Board and Committee Believe that the Recapitalization is Fair to Existing Stockholders?” and “Special Factors – Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization” and in the Proxy Statement under “Summary Term Sheet – Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and the Series D Conversion – Did the Board and the Committee Believe that the Recapitalization is Fair to Existing Stockholders?” and “Special Factors – Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization” is incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Factors considered in determining fairness. The information set forth in the Offering Circular under “Summary Term Sheet – Do the Board and Committee Believe that the Recapitalization is Fair to Existing Stockholders?,” “Special Factors – Reasons for the Offer,” “– Negative Factors Considered by the Board of Directors and Committee,” “- Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization” and in the Proxy Statement in “Summary Term Sheet – Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and the Series D Conversion – Did the Board and the Committee Believe that the Recapitalization is Fair to Existing Stockholders?,” “– Did the Board and the Committee Retain a Financial Advisor?,” “Special Factors – Reasons for the Offer,” “– Negative Factors Considered by the Board of Directors and Committee” and “– Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization” is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Approval of security holders. The Note Offer does not require shareholder approval. The Series D conversion requires the approval of two-thirds of the holders of each series of Preferred Stock. Because the directors, the sole executive officer and their affiliates beneficially own less than one-third of each series of Preferred Stock, the effect of the two-thirds approval requirement is to also require that at least a majority of the unaffiliated holders of the Preferred
10
Stock approve the articles of amendment that will implement the Series D conversion. The information contained under “Summary Term Sheet – Do the Board and its Committee Believe that the Recapitalization is Fair to Existing Stockholders?,” “Special Factors – Recommendation of Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization.” “– Interests of Dynex Capital’s Directors and Affiliated Parties in the Recapitalization” and in the Proxy Statement under “Summary Term Sheet – Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and the Series D Conversion – Did the Board and the Committee Believe that the Recapitalization is Fair to Existing Stockholders?,” “– Did the Board and the Committee Retain a Financial Advisor?,” “Special Factors – Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization” and “– Interests of Dynex Capital’s Directors and Affiliated Parties in the Recapitalization” is incorporated herein by reference.
(d) Unaffiliated Representative. Dynex Capital did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated holders of Dynex Capital’s Preferred Stock or Common Stock for the purposes of negotiating the terms of the Note Offer or the Series D conversion and/or preparing a report concerning the fairness of the transactions. The information contained in the Offering Circular under “Special Factors – Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization” and “Risk Factors – Risk-Particular to the Note Offer – We Did Not Base the Terms of the Recapitalization on and Did Not Retain the Advice of an Outside Financial Advisor” and in the Proxy Statement under “Special Factors – Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization” is incorporated herein by reference.
(e) Approval of directors. None of the directors of Dynex Capital are employees of the company and so as to all aspects of the recapitalization, including the Notes Offer and the Series D conversion, the transaction was approved by a majority of the directors who are not employees of the company.
(f) Other offers. No offer of the type described in paragraph (viii) of Instruction 2 to Item 1014 of Regulation M-A has been received by Dynex Capital.
Schedule 13E-3, Item 9. Reports, Opinions, Appraisals and Negotiations.

(b) Preparer and summary of the report, opinion or appraisal. Not applicable.
(c) Availability of documents. Not applicable.
SCHEDULE 13E-3, ITEM 10. Sources and Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration.

The information set forth in the Offering Circular under “Special Factors – Reasons for the Note Offer,” and in the Proxy Statement under “Special Factors – Reasons for the Series D Conversion” is incorporated herein by reference.
(e) Recommendations of others. The information set forth in the Offering Circular under “Summary Term Sheet – Has Dynex Capital or Its Board of Directors Adopted a Position on the Note Offer and the Series D Conversion?” and “Special Factors – Recommendations of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization” and in the Proxy Statement under “Summary Term Sheet—Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and the Series D Conversion – Has the Board of Directors Recommended that I Vote in Favor of the Series D Conversion?” and “Special Factors – Recommendation of the Board of Directors; Fairness of the Recapitalization” is incorporated herein by reference.
