Timing of Monthly Company Update
3
ARMOUR is making a change in the release dates of the Monthly Company Updates starting in 2017.
ARMOUR plans to prepare future Monthly Company Updates based on portfolio and other information at the end of the
first two months of each quarter (i.e.; January 31st, February 28th; April 30th, May 31st, July 31st, August 31st, October 31st,
November 30th). ARMOUR plans to release these Monthly Company Updates after our regular monthly closing process is
complete. ARMOUR’s Forms 10-Q and 10-K contain information as of quarter end, and therefore no separate Monthly
Company Updates are planned for the third months of each quarter.

ARMOUR expenses premium amortization monthly as it occurs.
Constant Prepayment Rate ("CPR") is the annualized equivalent of single monthly mortality ("SMM"). CPR attempts to predict the percentage
of principal that will prepay over the next twelve months based on historical principal pay downs.
CPR is reported on the 4th business day of the month for the previous month's prepayment activity.
