Nov. 17, 2014 &ndash; Redwood Trust, Inc. (&ldquo;Redwood&rdquo;) (NYSE: RWT)<I>&nbsp;</I>today announced that its indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary, RWT Holdings, Inc. (&ldquo;Holdings&rdquo;), plans to offer, subject to market and other conditions, $200.0 million
aggregate principal amount of its exchangeable senior notes due 2019 (the &ldquo;Notes&rdquo;) in a private offering to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &ldquo;Securities Act&rdquo;). The
initial purchasers will have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes
in connection with the offering solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Holdings
and will be exchangeable for shares of Redwood common stock. Redwood will fully and unconditionally guarantee the Notes. The interest
rate and offering price are to be determined by negotiations between Holdings, Redwood and the initial purchasers of the offering.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Redwood and Holdings intend to use the
net proceeds from this offering to fund the business and investment activity of Redwood and its subsidiaries, which may include
funding purchases of residential mortgage loans, funding the origination of commercial loans and acquiring mortgage-backed securities
for their investment portfolio, as well as for other general corporate purposes.</P>

under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration
requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell
