CA &ndash; Tuesday, January 27, 2015</B> &ndash; Redwood Trust, Inc. (NYSE: RWT)<I> </I>today announced tax information regarding
its dividend distributions for 2014.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Shareholders should
check the tax statements they receive from their brokerage firms to confirm the Redwood dividend distribution information reported
in those statements conforms to the information reported here.&nbsp; Set forth in this press release are Redwood's expectations
with respect to federal income tax.&nbsp; Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the amount of taxes that
should be paid on Redwood's dividend distributions for federal, state, and other income tax purposes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">All of the common
stock dividend distributions paid during 2014 are reportable on shareholders' 2014 federal income tax returns, including four $0.28
per share quarterly regular dividend distributions. Thus, for 2014, Redwood shareholders that held stock for this entire period
should report a total of $1.12 per share of common stock dividend distributions for federal income tax purposes.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">Under the federal
income tax rules applicable to real estate investment trusts (&ldquo;REITs&rdquo;), Redwood's 2014 dividend distributions are expected
to be characterized for income tax purposes as 90% ordinary income and 10% return of capital.&nbsp; None of Redwood's 2014 dividend
distributions are expected to be characterized for federal income tax purposes as long-term capital gain dividends.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">As a REIT, the
portion of Redwood's dividend distributions that are characterized as ordinary income under the applicable federal income tax rules
are generally taxed at full ordinary income tax rates.&nbsp; The portion of Redwood's dividend distributions characterized as a
return of capital under the applicable federal income tax rules are not generally taxable (provided it does not exceed a shareholder's
tax basis in their Redwood shares), and it reduces a shareholder's basis for shares held at each quarterly distribution date (but
not to below zero).&nbsp;</P>
