Item 3.01.  Notice of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard.

On March 19, 2014, Chimera Investment Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notifying the Company that because it had not timely filed its Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”) pursuant to Section 203.01 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company is subject to the late filing procedures as they pertain to annual reports, as set forth in Section 802.01E of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. On March 14, 2014, the Company notified the NYSE that the Company is working diligently to complete the 2013 Form 10-K.  

The NYSE noted that it will closely monitor the status of the Company’s late filing and related public disclosures for up to a six month period from its due date. If the Company fails to file its annual report within six months from the filing due date, the NYSE may, in its sole discretion, allow the Company’s securities to trade for up to an additional six months depending on specific circumstances, as outlined in the rule.

Although the Company is working diligently to complete the 2013 Form 10-K and expects to file within the six month period referenced above, no assurance can be given that the 2013 Form 10-K will be filed within the six month period from its due date.

The Company expects to file its third quarter Form 10-Q in the month of April 2014 and at that time will provide guidance on the filing of its 2013 Form 10-K.
