This Amendment No. 2 amends and
supplements the Tender Offer Statement and Schedule 13E-3 Transaction Statement originally filed under cover of Schedule TO on
March 18, 2013 (the “Schedule TO”) by Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (“Annaly”), a Maryland corporation,
and CXS Acquisition Corporation (“Acquisition”), a Maryland corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Annaly, and
Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule TO (“Amendment No. 1”) filed on April 2, 2013.
The Schedule TO relates to an
offer (the “Offer”) by Acquisition to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock (“Common Stock”),
par value $0.01 per share, of CreXus Investment Corp. (“CreXus”), a Maryland corporation, that Annaly does not already
own for a purchase price per share of $13.00 plus a sum approximating a prorated portion of the dividend the tendering stockholder
would have received with regard to the quarter during which the Offer expires, in cash net to the seller, but subject to any required
withholding taxes. The terms of the Offer, and the conditions to which it is subject, are set forth in an Offer to Purchase dated
March 18, 2013 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal,”
which together with the Offer to Purchase, as each of them may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, contain
the terms of the Offer). All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them
in the Offer to Purchase.
Except as otherwise set forth
below, the information set forth in the Schedule TO, as amended by Amendment No. 1, remains unchanged and is incorporated into
this Amendment No. 2 by reference.
The items of the Schedule TO set
forth below are supplemented and amended by this Amendment No. 2 as follows:
Schedule 13E-3, Item 8. Fairness of the Transaction.
The information incorporated by
reference into Item 8 of Schedule 13E-3, as amended by Amendment No. 1, is further supplemented and amended by adding the following
after the fourth bulleted point near the top of page 22 in the section of the Offer to Purchase captioned “Special Factors—Section
4. Position of Annaly regarding Fairness of the Offer and the Merger,”:
Because CreXus is engaged
primarily in acquiring, holding and selling investment assets, and CreXus has no employees of its own, Annaly and we believe that
the best approximation of the going concern value of CreXus and of the liquidation value of CreXus is the net asset value of CreXus,
valuing its assets at their fair value. Therefore, the $13.00 per share we will pay for CreXus shares we purchase through the Offer
(without taking account of the portion of the Offer Price that is in lieu of a prorated dividend for the quarter in which the Expiration
Date occurs) is:
●
A 7%
premium
over the estimated per share going concern value of CreXus Common Stock at September 30, 2012 and a 9.1% premium over the estimated
per share going concern value of CreXus Common Stock at December 31, 2012.
●
A 7%
premium over the estimated per share liquidation value
of CreXus Common Stock at September 30, 2012 and a 9.1% premium over the estimated per share liquidation value of CreXus Common
Stock at December 31, 2012.
Accordingly, the $13.00 per share we will pay
for CreXus shares we purchase through the Offer (without taking account of the portion of the Offer Price that is in lieu of a
prorated dividend for the quarter in which the Expiration Date occurs) exceeds (a) the last reported sale price of CreXus Common
Stock on November 9, 2012 (the last trading day before the public announcement of Annaly’s proposal to acquire the CreXus
shares it did not own for $12.50 per share), (b) the weighted average trading price of CreXus shares during the thirty trading
days ended on November 9, 2012, (c) the net book value of a share of CreXus Common Stock at September 30, 2012, and the net book
value of a share of CreXus Common Stock at December 31, 2012, (d) Annaly’s estimate of the per share going concern value
of CreXus Common Stock at September
30, 2012 and Annaly’s estimate of
the per share going concern value of CreXus Common Stock at December 31, 2012, and (e) Annaly’s estimate of the per
share liquidation value of CreXus Common Stock at September 30, 2012 and Annaly’s estimate of the per share liquidation
value of CreXus Common Stock at December 31, 2012. Annaly and we did not give material weight to the historical prices
of CreXus’ Common Stock in analyzing the fairness of the Offer to unaffiliated stockholders of CreXus, because the
price of CreXus common stock is significantly affected by the dividends it pays (which totaled $1.03 per share in 2011 and
$1.18 per share in 2012) and the effect of those dividends in reducing the net book value of CreXus. However, Annaly and we
were aware that the $13.00 per share exceeded the highest price at which CreXus stock had traded since the first quarter
of 2011.
In addition, the information
incorporated by reference into Item 8 of Schedule 13E-3, as amended by Amendment No.1, is further supplemented and amended by
adding the following language at the end of the section of the Offer to Purchase captioned “Special
Factors—Section 4. Position of Annaly regarding Fairness of the Offer and the Merger”:
Annaly and we believe
the terms of the Offer, the process by which the Merger Agreement was negotiated and the manner in which the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement are to be carried out are substantively and procedurally fair to the CreXus stockholders
who are not affiliated with Annaly or CreXus (i.e., the unaffiliated CreXus stockholders). The reasons for that belief include:
●
We will not purchase any of the shares that are tendered, and there will be no Merger, unless the number of shares that are properly
tendered and not withdrawn by the Expiration Time are at least 51% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock that are not owned
immediately before the Expiration Time by Annaly, any of its subsidiaries, or any officers or directors of Annaly, FIDAC or CreXus.
Therefore, although it is possible that the Merger will not have to be approved by the CreXus stockholders who do not tender their
shares, we will not be purchasing CreXus stock as a result of the Offer, and there will be no Merger, unless holders of a majority
of the CreXus stockholders who are not affiliated with Annaly or CreXus tender their shares in response to the Offer.
●
The CreXus Board of Directors formed a Special Committee consisting entirely of CreXus directors who are not employees of Annaly
or FIDAC to, among other things, evaluate and negotiate the transaction Annaly had proposed. That Special Committee engaged Lazard
Frères LLC (“Lazard”) to act as its financial adviser. Lazard rendered an opinion to the Special Committee that,
as of the date of its opinion (January 30, 2013), and based upon and subject to assumptions, procedures, factors, qualifications
and limitations set forth in the letter containing that opinion, the Offer Price to be paid to holders of Common Stock (other than
Annaly, Acquisition, or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Annaly or Acquisition) was fair, from a financial point
of view, to such holders. The Schedule 14D-9 filed by CreXus contains a detailed discussion of the procedures and analyses performed
by Lazard in reaching its opinion and the full text of Lazard’s opinion letter is attached to the Schedule 14D-9. Because
the CreXus stockholders referred to in Lazard’s opinion did not exclude officers and directors of Annaly, Acquisition and
CreXus, it was not rendered solely on behalf of unaffiliated stockholders, but it applied to all the unaffiliated stockholders.
●
The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it were approved by CreXus’ Board of Directors based upon a recommendation
of the Special Committee, which consists entirely of CreXus directors who are not employees of either Annaly or CreXus or their
subsidiaries. The meeting at which the CreXus Board approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it was attended
only by directors who are not employees of either Annaly or CreXus or their subsidiaries.
