TWO Announces Pricing of Public Offering of Senior Notes

TWO (Two Harbors Investment Corp, NYSE: TWO) (the “Company”), an MSR-focused REIT, today announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.375% senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof. TWO has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $15 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes to cover over-allotments. The offering is expected to close on May 13, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Company intends to apply to list the Notes on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and, if the application is approved, expects trading in the Notes on NYSE to begin within 30 days after the Notes are first issued.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes which may include, among other things, the refinancing or repayment of debt, including the Company’s 6.25% senior notes due 2026 and MSR financing, the purchase of the Company’s target assets, including MSR, Agency RMBS and other financial assets, in each case subject to the Company’s investment guidelines, the repurchase or redemption of the Company’s common and preferred equity securities, and other capital expenditures.

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company and pay interest quarterly in cash on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing August 15, 2025. The Notes will mature on August 15, 2030, and may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, at TWO’s option on or after May 15, 2027.
