“We are very excited to be taking over the
management of Great Ajax,” said Michael Nierenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Rithm Capital. “As we transition away from
the legacy strategy, we will be repositioning the portfolio to take advantage of attractive opportunities in the commercial real estate
sector. We have already begun deploying capital into higher yielding assets and expect to see earnings grow over time. We look forward
to creating value for shareholders and are excited about the future of Great Ajax.”
Second Quarter Company Highlights
| · | The Company's Book Value per share decreased for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, primarily as a result of its GAAP net loss and by
equity issuance in connection with the Strategic Transaction. |
| · | Strategic Transaction: The Company completed the previously announced strategic transaction (such transactions together, the
“Strategic Transaction”) with Rithm Capital Corp. (“Rithm”) whereby an affiliate of Rithm, RCM GA Manager LLC
(“RCM GA”), became the Company’s new external manager. |
| ◦ | Marks a significant milestone for the Company, with plans to transition into an opportunistic vehicle focused on commercial real estate. |
| ◦ | The Company expects to leverage the scope of Rithm's operating platform and network to realize strategic benefits as it transforms
its investment focus. |
| ◦ | The Strategic Transaction also included: (i) termination of the Company’s previous management agreement with Thetis Asset Management
(the “Former Manager”) and payment of the applicable termination fees, (ii) the issuance to an affiliate of Rithm in May 2024
of five-year warrants to purchase up to approximately 3.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock, (iii) the issuance to Rithm
in June 2024 of 2.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement and (iv) the
entry in February 2024 into a $70.0 million term loan with NIC RMBS LLC, an affiliate of Rithm, which remains undrawn. In connection with
the Strategic Transaction, the Company terminated its agreement with its former loan servicer, Gregory Funding LLC. On June 1, 2024, the
Company assigned all of the servicing agreements for its mortgage loans and real property to Newrez LLC, an affiliate
of Rithm. The terms of the agreements remain unchanged. |
| · | Loan Sales & Redemption of Convertible Notes: Sold loans with approximately $305 million in unpaid principal balance, generating
net proceeds of approximately $45.1 million. |
| ◦ | A portion of the net proceeds was used to redeem the Company’s 7.25% convertible senior notes that matured on April 30, 2024. |
| · | Repurchase Financing: Moved repurchase financing from full daily mark to market financing to either full non-mark to market
or non-daily mark to market with margin holidays. |
| · | Dividend Declaration: On July 23, 2024, our board declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per common
share to be paid on August 30, 2024, to stockholders of record as of August 15, 2024. |

distribution” is a non-GAAP financial measure of the Company’s operating performance, which is used by management to
evaluate the Company’s performance excluding: (i) net realized and unrealized gains and losses on certain assets and
liabilities; (ii) other net income and losses not related to the performance of the investment portfolio; and (iii) non-capitalized
transaction related expenses.
The Company has three primary variables that impact
its performance: (i) Net interest margin on assets held within the investment portfolio; (ii) realized and unrealized gains or losses
on assets held within the investment portfolio, including any impairment or reserve for expected credit losses; and, (iii) the Company’s
operating expenses and taxes.
The Company’s definition of earnings
available for distribution excludes certain realized and unrealized losses, which although they represent a part of the
Company’s recurring operations, are subject to significant variability and are generally limited to a potential indicator of
future economic performance. Within other net income and losses, management primarily excludes equity-based compensation
expenses.
With regard to non-capitalized transaction-related
expenses, management does not view these costs as part of the Company’s core operations, as they are considered by management to
be similar to realized losses incurred at acquisition. Non-capitalized transaction-related expenses generally relate to legal and valuation
service costs, as well as other professional service fees, incurred when the Company acquires certain investments.
Management believes that the adjustments to
compute “earnings available for distribution” specified above allow investors and analysts to readily identify and track
the operating performance of the assets that form the core of the Company’s activity, assist in comparing the core operating
results between periods, and enable investors to evaluate the Company’s current core performance using the same financial
measure that management uses to operate the business. Management also utilizes earnings available for distribution as a financial
measure in its decision-making process relating to improvements to the underlying fundamental operations of the Company’s
investments, as well as the allocation of resources between those investments, and management also relies on earnings available for
distribution as an indicator of the results of such decisions. Earnings available for distribution excludes certain recurring items,
such as gains and losses (including impairment) and non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, because they are not considered by
management to be part of the Company’s core operations for the reasons described herein. As such earnings available for
distribution is not intended to reflect all of the Company’s activity and should be considered as only one of the factors used
by management in assessing the Company’s performance, along with GAAP net income which is inclusive of all of the
Company’s activities.
The Company views earnings available for
distribution as a consistent financial measure of its portfolio’s ability to generate income for distribution to common
stockholders. Earnings available for distribution does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior
to, net income or as a substitute for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities, each as determined in accordance with
GAAP, and the Company’s calculation of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly entitled financial measures
reported by other companies. Furthermore, to maintain qualification as a REIT, U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that
the Company distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income annually, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends
paid and excluding net capital gains. Because the Company views earnings available for distribution as a consistent financial
measure of its ability to generate income for distribution to common stockholders, earnings available for distribution is one
metric, but not the exclusive metric, that the Company’s board of directors uses to determine the amount, if any, and the
payment date of dividends on common stock. However, earnings available for distribution should not be considered as an indication of
the Company’s taxable income, a guaranty of its ability to pay dividends or as a proxy for the amount of dividends it may pay,
as earnings available for distribution excludes certain items that impact its cash needs.
The table below provides a reconciliation of
earnings available for distribution to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure (dollars in thousands, except share and
per share data):
