Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: August 9, 2024

The filing reports the entry into material definitive agreements regarding the Company's At-The-Market (ATM) equity offering program.
Key Financial Metrics and Capital Structure
This filing does not contain standard financial performance metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt levels. The primary financial data relates to the Company's equity capital raising capacity:
- ATM Program Aggregate Limit: Increased from $100.0 million to $150.0 million.
- Shares Previously Sold: Approximately $95,224,253 had been sold under the program prior to this amendment.
- Remaining Capacity: Approximately $54.8 million available for future issuance under the expanded limit.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The filing details three specific changes to the Company's existing ATM Program:
- New Sales Agent: Addition of BTIG, LLC as a new sales agent via a new At Market Issuance Sales Agreement.
- Amendments to Existing Agents: Execution of Amendment No. 3 to existing agreements with Citizens JMP Securities, LLC and B. Riley Securities, Inc.
- Capacity Increase: The aggregate public offering price limit for the ATM Program was raised by $50.0 million.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The filing indicates the Company is expanding its ability to raise capital through the ATM Program by adding a third sales agent and increasing the total issuance limit. Shares may be sold on the NYSE, other trading markets, or through privately negotiated transactions.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing does not explicitly list new risks or contingencies beyond the standard nature of equity dilution inherent in an ATM program. The legality of the shares to be sold is supported by an opinion from Venable LLP.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the current market price of CHMI common stock to assess the potential dilution impact of the remaining ~$54.8 million in ATM capacity.
- Review the prospectus supplement dated August 9, 2024, for specific terms regarding the new BTIG agreement and fee structures.
- Monitor future 8-K filings or quarterly reports to track the actual utilization rate of the expanded ATM program.
- Confirm the Company's current liquidity position in the most recent 10-Q or 10-K, as this filing does not provide cash balance data.
