On December 11, 2015, Chimera Investment Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its dividend declaration for the fourth quarter of 2015.

The Presentation contains statements that, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”). All such forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the Reform Act. Actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those forecast due to the impact of many factors beyond the control of the Company. All forward looking statements included in the Presentation are made only as of the date of the Presentation and are subject to change without notice. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements are included in the Company's periodic reports filed with the SEC. Copies are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Company disclaims any obligation to update its forward looking statements unless required by law.
