in government regulations or programs affecting MFA&#8217;s business; MFA&#8217;s estimates regarding taxable income, the actual
amount of which is dependent on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, changes in the amount of interest income and
financing costs, the method elected by MFA to accrete the market discount on residential whole loans and the extent of prepayments,
realized losses and changes in the composition of MFA&#8217;s residential whole loan portfolios that may occur during the applicable
tax period, including gain or loss on any whole loan modifications, foreclosures and liquidations; the timing and amount of distributions
to stockholders, which are declared and paid at the discretion of MFA&#8217;s Board of Directors and will depend on, among other
things, MFA&#8217;s taxable income, its financial results and overall financial condition and liquidity, maintenance of its REIT
qualification and such other factors as MFA&#8217;s Board of Directors deems relevant; MFA&#8217;s ability to maintain its qualification
as a REIT for federal income tax purposes; MFA&#8217;s ability to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (or the &#8220;Investment Company Act&#8221;), including statements regarding the concept release
issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) relating to interpretive issues under the Investment Company
Act with respect to the status under the Investment Company Act of certain companies that are engaged in the business of acquiring
mortgages and mortgage-related interests; MFA&#8217;s ability to continue growing its residential whole loan portfolio, which is
dependent on, among other things, the supply of loans offered for sale in the market; expected returns on MFA&#8217;s investments
in nonperforming residential whole loans (&#8220;NPLs&#8221;), which are affected by, among other things, the length of time required
to foreclose upon, sell, liquidate or otherwise reach a resolution of the property underlying the NPL, home price values, amounts
advanced to carry the asset (e.g., taxes, insurance, maintenance expenses, etc. on the underlying property) and the amount ultimately
realized upon resolution of the asset; targeted or expected returns on MFA&#8217;s investments in recently-originated loans, the
performance of which is, similar to MFA&#8217;s other mortgage loan investments, subject to, among other things, differences in
prepayment risk, credit risk and financing cost associated with such investments; risks associated with MFA&#8217;s investments
in MSR-related assets, including servicing, regulatory and economic risks, risks associated with our investments in loan originators,
and risks associated with investing in real estate assets, including changes in business conditions and the general economy.&#160;These
and other risks, uncertainties and factors, including those described in the annual, quarterly and current reports that MFA files
with the SEC, could cause MFA&#8217;s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements
it makes.&#160;</p>
