("Dynex") by California Investment Fund, LLC (the "Fund") prior to the date hereof, the Fund may obtain financing in an amount of up to $90 million through Fremont Investment & Loan if and when future purchases of Dynex securities are made in connection with an Acquisition Transaction (as defined in Item 4 below). A copy of a letter from Fremont Investment & Loan, dated as of February 5, 2001, with respect to providing financing is attached hereto as Exhibit A and specifically incorporated herein by reference, and the description herein of such letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to such letter. If and when future purchases of Dynex securities are made, the Reporting Persons may use a variety of sources of funds; however, except as stated in response to this Item 3, the Reporting Persons have no present plan, arrangement, or understanding in connection with sources of funds for future purchases of the securities. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. ---------------------- On November 7, 2000, the Fund and Dynex entered into a definitive merger agreement (as amended, the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which a newly formed subsidiary of the Fund would merge with and into Dynex and Dynex would become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fund for a purchase price of $90 million in cash for all of the equity of Dynex (the "Acquisition Transaction"). Subsequently, on January 26, 2001, Dynex delivered to the Fund a letter (the "January 26 Letter") purporting to terminate the Merger Agreement, and on January 29, 2001, the Fund delivered to Dynex a letter (the "Response Letter") urging Dynex to promptly rescind any purported termination of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Merger Agreement was attached as Exhibit B to the Fund's Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D filed on November 8, 2000 with the SEC, and is specifically incorporated herein by reference, and the description herein of such merger agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement. A copy of the Response Letter and the January 26 Letter were attached as Exhibits A and B, respectively, to the Fund's Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D filed on January 30, 2001 with the SEC, and are specifically incorporated herein by reference, and the description herein of such letters is qualified in its entirety by reference to such letters. There can be no assurance that an Acquisition Transaction will be completed on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement or otherwise. On February 5, 2001, the Fund delivered to Dynex's board of directors a letter from Fremont Investment & Loan with respect to providing financing in connection with an Acquisition Transaction (the "Fremont Letter") on the terms set forth in the Fremont Letter. A copy of the Fremont Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A and specifically incorporated herein by reference, and the description herein of the Fremont Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to such letter. In connection with an Acquisition Transaction, the Fund is also considering the contribution of some or all of the assets of the Fund or certain of its affiliates to Dynex. There can be no assurance that any such contribution of assets will be pursued or completed. On January 31, 2001, the Fund delivered a letter to counsel for certain holders of Dynex's Senior Notes Due July 15, 2002, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and specifically incorporated herein by reference, and the description herein of such letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to such letter. Depending on the outcome of the Acquisition Transaction, the Fund reserves the right to formulate other plans and/or make other proposals, and take such actions with respect to its investments in Dynex, including any or all of the actions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D and any other actions as it may determine. Except as stated in this response to Item 4 and in furtherance of closing the Acquisition Transaction pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Fund has no current plans or proposals with respect to Dynex or its securities of the types enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
