* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The reporting person was granted an aggregate of 3,750 shares of phantom stock under ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc.'s 2009 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan pursuant to a vesting schedule described below. 188 shares of the reporting person's phantom stock vested on March 31, 2011 with an additional 188 shares of phantom stock vesting on the last day of each fiscal quarter until September 30, 2015. On December 31, 2015, 178 shares will vest, at which time all phantom stock will be vested.
(2) Upon termination of the reporting person's service with ARMOUR, all phantom shares which have not vested prior to or concurrently with such termination will be forfeited by the reporting person; provided, however, that the phantom shares will vest if the termination is due to death, disability, termination without cause, or retirement after age 62. The phantom shares will automatically vest upon a change in control of ARMOUR. The reporting person will be entitled to an to an equal number of shares of ARMOUR common stock within 30 days of vesting. The reporting person also has the right to elect to receive the amount of cash necessary to pay and income taxes instead of some of the shares of ARMOUR common stock. With respect to each phantom share, the reporting person will receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the cash dividend distributions paid in the ordinary course on a share of ARMOUR common stock.
(3) Each unit of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of ARMOUR common stock.
