JAVELIN Mortgage Investment Corp. Company Update December 22, 2015

PLEASE READ: Important Regulatory and Yield Risk Disclosures Certain statements made in this presentation regarding JAVELIN Mortgage Investment Corporation (“JAVELIN” or the “Company”), and any other statements regarding JAVELIN’s future expectations, beliefs, goals or prospects constitute forward-looking statements made within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any statements that are not statements of historical fact (including statements containing the words “believes,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates” and similar expressions) should also be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include but are not limited to statements regarding the projections for JAVELIN’s business and plans for future growth and operational improvements. A number of important factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. JAVELIN assumes no obligation to update the information in this communication, except as otherwise required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. This material is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell, a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation for any securities, financial instruments, or common or privately issued stock. The statements, information and estimates contained herein are based on information that the presenter believes to be reliable as of today's date, but cannot be represented that such statements, information or estimates are complete or accurate. Actual realized yields, durations and net durations described herein will depend on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. Estimated yields do not reflect any of the costs of operation of JAVELIN. THE INFORMATION PRESENTED HEREIN IS UNAUDITED AND UNREVIEWED. 2

December 2015 Commentary 3 On December 14, JAVELIN announced $2.1 million in expense reductions and an expanded two million share repurchase program. On December 16, the Federal Reserve increased the Federal Funds target rate to between 0.25% and 0.50%. In the short term, this will cause funding rates to go higher, and therefore the earnings potential of the company will be lower. The spread between 10 year interest rate swaps and 10 year Treasury bonds has started to reverse its negative trend, although the absolute value is still negative. This latest movement has been positive for the company. The LIBOR OAS of mortgages has continued to move higher, but has stabilized somewhat recently. (1) The LIBOR OAS shown is the average of several dealers.

(2) Portion of the dividend payable has been subtracted from the book value range based on accrual throughout the month.

JAVELIN Portfolio Strategy and Investment Methodology  JAVELIN will utilize ACM’s proprietary analytical approach as well as Intex, Bloomberg, BlackRock Solutions and other third- party systems to analyze mortgage investment opportunities both for Agency and Non-Agency mortgage securities.  Strong bias toward a “buy and hold” strategy, with occasional sales made as market conditions change.  The investment team considers an array of factors, both bottom up and top down: Non-Agency Structure Analysis o Seniority, subordination model. o Model completeness and accuracy. o Litigation and policy risks. Agency & Non-Agency Class Analysis o Prepayment history. o Prepayment expectations. o Premium/discount. o Liquidity. Agency & Non-Agency Loan Analysis o Original and current loan balance. o Year of origination. o Originating company, third-party originators. o Loan seasoning. o Principal amortization schedule. o Original loan-to-value ratio. o Geography. o 96% of JMI’s 15yr MBS are between 85k – 175k loan balances. Agency Pool Analysis o Only “pass-through” securities. No CMO’s. o Prepayment history and expectations. o Premium over par. o “Hedgability.” o Liquidity. o Diversify broadly to limit idiosyncratic pool risk. 8 Information as of 12/18/2015.
