Effective as of the 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) of Dynex Capital, Inc. (the “Company”), director Daniel K. Osborne's term as a member of the Company's Board of Directors concluded. As previously reported, Mr. Osborne decided not stand for re-election to the Company's Board of Directors at the 2013 Annual Meeting.


Item 5.03
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Effective June 5, 2013, as of the 2013 Annual Meeting, and in connection with the expiration of Mr. Osborne's term as a director of the Company, the Company's Bylaws were amended to decrease the size of the Company's Board of Directors from six members to five members, in each case subject to automatic increase as otherwise provided in the Company's Articles of Incorporation. This amendment to the Company's Bylaws was previously disclosed in the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Corporation (the “SEC”) on April 16, 2013, and the text of this amendment to the Company's Bylaws is attached thereto as Exhibit 3.2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

These amendments to the Restated Articles of Incorporation were approved by the Company's shareholders at the 2013 Annual Meeting. For the full text of these amendments to the Restated Articles of Incorporation see Appendix A, Appendix B, and Appendix C, respectively, to the Company's proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting filed with the SEC on April 26, 2013 (the “2013 Proxy Statement”).
