<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company, through its operating subsidiary Velocity Commercial Capital (&#147;VCC&#148;), maintains operating liquidity through three separate Bank
warehouse financing facilities totaling $550&nbsp;million in total capacity. As of March&nbsp;17, 2020, available capacity on these Bank warehouse facilities totaled $253&nbsp;million. Recently, one of the Company&#146;s warehouse banks, Barclays
Bank PLC, agreed to increase its financing line capacity to $300&nbsp;million from $250&nbsp;million to support origination volume growth. Moreover, in February,&nbsp;the Company completed its first securitization transaction of 2020, and its 13<SUP
STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP> transaction overall, totaling $249&nbsp;million of securities issued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We remain focused on the
health of our employees and the communities in which we work and live while also maintaining operational readiness to serve our brokers effectively as the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">COVID-19</FONT> pandemic situation evolves,&#148; said
President and CEO, Chris Farrar. &#147;Our business is performing very well, we continue to see strong demand for debt financing from investors, and the Company remains on a sound footing both financially and operationally. We maintain substantial
liquidity and have enjoyed longstanding relationships with our warehouse banks, who have supported the Company through a variety of market conditions over our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">15-year</FONT> operating history. While it is too soon to
assess the long-term economic impact of the pandemic on real estate values or demand for debt financing, our considerable operational track record and experience will help us successfully navigate this rapidly evolving environment.&#148; </P>
