Item 8.01  Other Events.

 

On May 22, 2015, Two Harbors Investment Corp. (the “Company”) filed a new prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the offer and sale of shares of common stock not yet sold under the Company’s existing 20,000,000 share at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). The new prospectus supplement was filed as a result of the Company’s filing with the SEC on May 15, 2015 of a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-204216), which replaced the Company’s previously filed shelf registration statement.

 

On May 22, 2015, the Company also entered into that certain Amendment No. 1 to Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Amendment”) with JMP Securities LLC and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. (collectively, the “Placement Agents”), which provides, among other matters, that any offers and sales of shares of the Company’s common stock under the existing ATM Program shall be made pursuant to the new prospectus supplement. As of the date of the Amendment, 12,414,131 shares of the Company’s common stock remain available for offer and sale from time to time pursuant to the ATM Program.

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
