DISCLAIMER This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the UnitedStates Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

“may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify

our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q, under the caption “Risk Factors.” Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: the
state of credit markets and general economic conditions; changes in interest rates and the market value of our assets;
the rates of default or decreased recovery on the mortgages underlying our target assets; the occurrence, extent and
timing of credit losses within our portfolio; the credit risk in our underlying assets; declines in home prices; our ability to
establish, adjust and maintain appropriate hedges for the risks in our portfolio; the availability and cost of our target
assets; our ability to borrow to finance our assets and the associated costs; changes in the competitive landscape within
our industry; our ability to manage various operational risks and costs associated with our business; interruptions in or
impairments to our communications and information technology systems; our ability to acquire residential mortgage
loans and successfully securitize the residential mortgage loans we acquire; our ability to oversee our third party sub-
servicers; the impact of any deficiencies in the servicing or foreclosure practices of third parties and related delays in the
foreclosure process; our exposure to legal and regulatory claims; legislative and regulatory actions affecting our
business; the impact of new or modified government mortgage refinance or principal reduction programs; our ability to
maintain our REIT qualification; and limitations imposed on our business due to our REIT status and our exempt status
under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date made. Chimera does not undertake or accept any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statement to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors is
