Item 1.01 Entry into Material Agreement

On June 22, 2012, TH TRS Corp. (“TRS”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Two Harbors Investment Corp. (the “Company”), as seller, and the Company, as guarantor, amended the Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Repurchase Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC, as purchaser and agent (“Barclays”). The amendment allows TRS the ability to use the Repurchase Agreement to finance mortgage loans that are not also subject to the Forward AAA Agreement (as defined below). Additionally, the amendment clarifies, among other things, the timing of confirmations and margin notices issued under the Repurchase Agreement, the payment of certain fees with respect to loans committed for purchase by Barclays and the responsibility for costs associated with the due diligence of the mortgage loans.

Also on June 22, 2012, TRS amended its Amended and Restated Forward AAA Securities Agreement (the “Forward AAA Agreement”) with Barclays to, among other things, limit certain fees and the application of loan level representations contained in the Repurchase Agreement only to mortgage loans subject to both the Repurchase Agreement and the Forward AAA Agreement, clarify the timing of confirmations issued under the Repurchase Agreement and address other matters to conform to the amendments under the Repurchase Agreement.
