Ellington Financial Announces $50 Million Common Stock Repurchase Program

Ellington Financial Inc. (NYSE: EFC) (the “Company”) announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company's common stock. This authorization extends the Company’s ability to repurchase common stock beyond the 1.55 million shares previously authorized in 2018. Through today, the Company has repurchased nearly all of the 1.55 million shares previously authorized.

The common stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares, or at all, and has no termination date. The timing and extent to which the Company repurchases shares of its common stock will depend upon, among other factors, market conditions, share price, liquidity, regulatory requirements and other factors, and repurchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund any common stock repurchases with available liquidity. Repurchases of shares under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including repurchase plans that satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
