Risks and Contingencies:
- Indemnification: Two Harbors has agreed to indemnify the sales agents against certain liabilities under the Securities Act or contribute to payments required by the agents.
- Conflict of Interest: The sales agents or their affiliates may engage in various financing, banking, and advisory services with Two Harbors for which they receive customary fees.
- Legal Disclaimer: The report explicitly states it does not constitute an offer to sell securities in jurisdictions where such an offer would be unlawful prior to registration.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current market price of Two Harbors common stock (TWO) to assess the potential dilution impact of selling up to 15,000,000 shares.
- Review the full text of the Amended and Restated Equity Distribution Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) and the new agreement with BTIG (Exhibit 1.2) for specific termination clauses or volume limits.
- Check recent 10-Q or 10-K filings for the Company's current cash position and leverage ratios to understand the necessity of this equity raise.
- Monitor subsequent filings for actual sales activity under this program, as the 8-K only authorizes the capability to sell.
