Dear Common Stockholder:
By this time, you should have received proxy solicitation material and our Form 10-K and 10-Q for Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Tuesday, June 23, 2009.
This meeting is being held to approve amendments to our charter to modify the preferential terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock. We are concurrently conducting a Purchase Offer to the holders of our Preferred Stock to purchase their shares. Only If both the common stockholders and preferred stockholders approve these amendments, will we be able to complete the Purchase Offer. We believe that
· the elimination of the related dividends through the proposed amendments, will give Impac an enhanced balance sheet flexibility to operate and grow our business and
· with an improved capital structure there are multiple business opportunities we can pursue to enhance stockholder value that have not previously been feasible.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENTS TO OUR CHARTER TO MODIFY THE TERMS OF THE PREFERRED STOCK.
In the event that you have not yet voted your proxy, we have enclosed a duplicate for your use. Please sign and date the proxy and mail it promptly so you can participate in our meeting through the stockholder voting process.
You may also use one of the following simple methods for promptly providing your voting instructions:
1. Vote by telephone. Call the toll-free number listed for this purpose on your voting instruction form. Have your 12-digit control number listed on the form ready and follow the simple instructions.
2. Vote by Internet. Go to the website www.proxyvote.com listed on your voting instruction form. Have your 12-digit control number listed on the form ready and follow the simple instructions.
If your proxy has already been voted, please disregard this letter. We appreciate your support and continuing interest in Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc.

Very truly yours, |
|
