Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: CIM) (the “Company”) announced today that it has closed its previously announced underwritten public offering of $65 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.000% senior notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The Company has applied to list the Notes on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CIMN” and expects trading in the Notes on the New York Stock Exchange to begin on May 28, 2024.

“Chimera is pleased to announce the closing of the Notes offering,” said Phillip J. Kardis, Chimera’s President and CEO. “This offering diversifies our capital structure and allows us to continue acquiring high yielding assets which we believe will benefit our shareholders over the long term. We would like to thank the entire team who advised us on this transaction.”

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., and Piper Sandler & Co. served as joint book-running managers for the offering. Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP acted as legal advisor to the Company. Venable LLP acted as Maryland counsel to the Company. Ropes & Gray LLP acted as legal advisor to the joint book-running managers.

The Notes were offered under the Company’s existing shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities, nor shall there be any sale of such Notes or any other securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
