BETHESDA, Md., May 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- AGNC Investment
Corp. (Nasdaq: AGNC) ("AGNC" or the "Company") announced today
that, in celebration of 10 years as a publicly traded company on
the Nasdaq Global Select Market, Gary
Kain, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Investment Officer, will preside over the May 15, 2018 Nasdaq opening bell ceremony.
Members of the Company's Board of Directors and senior management
team will join Mr. Kain.
"We are honored to ring the opening bell at Nasdaq and to
commemorate the significant milestones AGNC has accomplished over
the last decade," said Mr. Kain. "Since our May 2008 IPO at $20.00 per common share through May 10, 2018, AGNC has delivered industry-leading
performance and returns, paying a total of $37.88 per common share in dividends and
generating an aggregate total stock return of 346%, or 16%
annualized. In addition, AGNC has experienced remarkable
growth in equity capital, increasing from $300 million following the IPO to $8.3 billion as of March
31, 2018, making AGNC the largest internally-managed
residential mortgage REIT. Finally, following our
July 2016 internalization, AGNC
operates with one of the lowest cost structures in the industry,
which further drives returns and reinforces our stockholder-focused
approach. On behalf of the entire senior management team and
the Board of Directors, we are extremely proud of our track record
of generating attractive long-term total returns for our
stockholders."
The ceremony will take place at the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio in
New York City and begin at
approximately 9:20 am ET, with
remarks from Mr. Kain just prior to the opening at 9:30 am ET. A live webcast of the ceremony
will be available at https://new.livestream.com/nasdaq/live.
