AG Mortgage Investment Trust, Inc. (NYSE: MITT) (“MITT” or the “Company”) today announced that it is amending its offer to exchange up to 6,818,350 newly issued shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for up to 1,363,670 outstanding shares of its Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) to specify, for each of the three series of its Preferred Stock, the maximum number of shares sought as set forth in the table below (each, a “Series Consideration Cap”) and to revise the proration methodology accordingly (as so amended, the “Exchange Offer”). The total number of shares of Preferred Stock for which the Exchange Offer is being made and the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued as consideration under the Exchange Offer are unchanged.

All references in the offer to exchange dated August 14, 2020 (the “Original Offer to Exchange”) to an offer to exchange up to 1,363,670 shares of Preferred Stock, without regard to series, shall now mean offers to exchange up to 250,470 8.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series A Preferred”), up to 556,600 8.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred”), and up to 556,600 8.000% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series C Preferred”), subject to proration on a series by series basis as further described in the Supplement to Offer to Exchange dated August 25, 2020 (the “Supplement to Offer to Exchange” and, together with the Original Offer to Exchange, the “Offer to Exchange”).

Consideration offered under the Exchange Offer will remain limited to 6,818,350 newly issued shares of Common Stock representing approximately 19.9% of the Common Stock to be outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (as defined herein).

There is no change to the Expiration Date. For each share of Preferred Stock validly tendered prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on September 11, 2020 (the “Expiration Date”) and not withdrawn, holders of the Preferred Stock will be eligible to receive the applicable exchange consideration set out in the table below subject to, as necessary, proration on a series by series basis (the “Exchange Consideration”).
