Item 11. Other Information

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding a new subsection entitled “Certain Legal Matters” as follows:

“Certain Legal Matters

Subsequent to the public announcement of the proposed acquisition of MTGE by Annaly, four civil actions were filed challenging the adequacy of the disclosures disseminated in connection with the proposed transaction. On May 25, 2018, Jeroen Van Poeck, a purported stockholder of MTGE, commenced an action in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against MTGE, certain current MTGE directors named therein, Annaly and the Offeror. The complaint, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(E), asserts claims under Sections 14(e) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 challenging the adequacy of the public disclosures made concerning the proposed transaction. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing consummation of the proposed transaction, rescission of the proposed transaction or rescissory damages in the event it is consummated, an accounting by defendants for all damages caused to the plaintiff, and the award of attorneys’ fees and expenses. On May 25, 2018, Giampaolo Dell’Acqua, a purported stockholder of MTGE, commenced a putative class action in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against MTGE, certain current and former MTGE directors named therein, Annaly and the Offeror. The complaint, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(F), asserts claims under Sections 14(e) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 challenging the adequacy of the public disclosures made concerning the proposed transaction. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing consummation of the proposed transaction, rescission of the proposed transaction or rescissory damages in the event it is consummated, an accounting by defendants for all damages caused to the plaintiff and the putative class, and the award of attorneys’ fees and expenses. On May 30, 2018, Anthony Franchi, a purported stockholder of MTGE, commenced a putative class action in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against MTGE, certain current MTGE directors named therein, Annaly and Offeror. The complaint, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(G), asserts claims under Sections 14(e), 14(d) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 challenging the adequacy of the public disclosures made concerning the proposed transaction. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing consummation of the proposed transaction, rescission of the proposed transaction or rescissory damages in the event it is consummated, and the award of attorneys’ fees and expenses. On May 31, 2018, Gary Meyer, a purported stockholder of MTGE, commenced a putative class action in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland against MTGE and certain current and former MTGE directors named therein. The complaint, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit (a)(5)(H), asserts claims under Sections 14(e), 14(d) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 challenging the adequacy of the public disclosures made concerning the proposed transaction. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, an injunction preventing consummation of the proposed transaction, an accounting by defendants for all damages caused to the plaintiff and the putative class, and the award of attorneys’ fees and expenses. The defendants believe the claims asserted in the actions are without merit.”
