Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure

Chimera Investment Corporation (the “Company”) hereby furnishes the information set forth in the presentation (the “Presentation”) attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Presentation is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01, and the information contained therein shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

The Presentation contains statements that, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”). All such forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the Reform Act. Actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those forecast due to the impact of many factors beyond the control of the Company. All forward looking statements included in the Presentation are made only as of the date of the Presentation and are subject to change without notice. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements are included in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC. Copies are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Company disclaims any obligation to update its forward looking statements unless required by law.
