• Because the materials are furnished (not filed), they are informative but carry the limited legal status noted in the filing; forward‑looking statements in the release may change and are subject to risk factors disclosed in MFA’s SEC filings.
• Retail investors seeking actionable detail (earnings per share, NAV, dividend declarations, portfolio changes) should read Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and MFA’s latest SEC filings for the full financial data and management commentary.
