MFA
Mortgage Investments, Inc. (“MFA”) has conducted sales of agency and AAA rated
non-agency mortgage-backed securities from its portfolio. At March 10, 2008, MFA
had completed sales of more than 47 mortgage-backed securities for which it
received aggregate proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion. MFA is unable to
identify the purchasers of the securities because the securities were sold
through securities dealers.
