• Ellington Financial Inc. filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on September 24, 2026 to furnish a press release under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure). The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the filing. The report was signed by JR Herlihy, Chief Financial Officer.

Key Details

• Filing date: September 24, 2026 (Form 8-K).

Why It Matters

• Furnishing a press release under Regulation FD means the company publicly disclosed information intended for investors; the 8-K documents that disclosure for SEC record-keeping.
• The 8-K itself does not present earnings, executive changes, or other financial statements — investors should read the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) or the company's investor relations site to learn the substance of the announcement.
