Item 2.02  Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The audited financial statements of Wellington Management Legacy Securities PPIF, LP (the “Feeder Fund”) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (the “Feeder Fund Financial Statements”) are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The audited financial statements of Wellington Management Legacy Securities PPIF Master Fund, LP (the “Master Fund”) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (the “Master Fund Financial Statements,” and together with the Feeder Fund Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”) are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2. The Financial Statements are not the financial statements of the registrant. Under normal market conditions, the registrant invests at least 80% of its managed assets in mortgage-backed securities, directly and indirectly through a separate investment as a limited partner in the Feeder Fund. The Feeder Fund invests substantially all of its assets, alongside the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“UST”), in the Master Fund pursuant to the UST’s Public-Private Investment Program (“PPIP”). As disclosed in the registrant’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Master Fund is winding down its operations pursuant to the terms of PPIP. Accordingly, as part of a managed wind down of the Master Fund, the registrant has received distributions from the Master Fund (through the Feeder Fund) representing substantially all of the registrant’s remaining indirect investment in the Master Fund. Proceeds received by the registrant as part of this managed wind down have been invested directly in mortgage-backed securities and other permitted investments in accordance with the registrant’s investment objectives.
