Item 8.01

Other Events.

As of the close of business on October 22, 2009, Capitol Acquisition Corp. (“Capitol”) had entered into agreements to purchase approximately 3.3 million of the shares of its common stock sold in its initial public offering (“Public Shares”), in privately negotiated transactions from stockholders who would otherwise vote against Capitol’s proposed transaction with Two Harbors Investment Corp. described in its proxy statement/prospectus dated October 9, 2009, for an aggregate of approximately $32.2 million, or $9.87 per share. Pursuant to such agreements, the holders have agreed to give Capitol’s management proxies to vote their Public Shares in favor of the merger proposal, which will revoke any prior proxies voted against the proposal. It is possible that further such agreements may be entered into prior to the special meeting of stockholders on similar terms. The closing of such purchases will be effected on the date the merger is closed, out of the funds that are presently in Capitol’s trust account and will be released as a result of the merger.
