For Annaly, proprietary creation of credit assets compares favorably to investing in third party sponsored securitizations  Onslow Bay has control over the entire process of manufacturing high quality credit assets on our balance sheet including timing  OBX Retained Non-QM securitizations offer mid-teens returns to Annaly with less than 1.0x of repo leverage  Investing in third party sponsored securitizations as a levered credit investor is challenging in the current market

 Serious delinquencies among OBX Non-QM securitizations continue to perform favorably to peers (lowest delinquencies across the top 10 largest Non-QM issuers) − The OBX Non-QM shelf has the third lowest serious delinquencies (#3 out of 22) when including all issuers with >$1bn outstanding  Across all OBX shelves outstanding (~$30bn in issuance), realized losses (including deferrals) are approximately $1mm (less than 1bps of cumulative loss) 45 Performance Source: Based on data from the BofA Securities Non-QM Shelf and Deal Report, reflecting data through 10/25/2024 Remittance Report.

 Annaly’s OBX shelf has a deep investor base with over ~175 disparate institutional accounts participating in our securitizations since 2018  The investment grade (“IG”) securities sold by Onslow Bay through OBX 2024-NQM15 priced at a weighted average spread between 6bps and 26bps tighter than the three other Non-QM deals in the market in the third week of October 2024(1)  If Annaly issues IG securities approximately ~15bps tighter than the average competing deal, we estimate that our securitization execution would be approximately 30bps higher in price terms than our competitors for comparable risk(2) − $8.2bn of Non-QM loans securitized in 2024 year-to-date led to approximately ~$25mm in value creation  We believe we could alternatively pass this pricing advantage through to our correspondent partners and drive incremental volume by offering a lower rate than our competitors while achieving similar execution 46 Capital Markets Execution OBX Securitizations Provide Us With Pricing Advantages(1) Class Rating Thickness(3) Spread Spread Spread Spread A1 AAA 73.0% 125 150 135 130 A2 AA 6.9% 150 180 160 160 A3 A 9.2% 165 195 190 175 M1 BBB 5.2% 205 225 210 210 Investment Grade Total 94.2% 135 161 145 141 COMPETITOR CCOMPETITOR BCOMPETITOR A OBX 2024-NQM15 Annaly benefits from superior securitization execution Source: Bloomberg.
