(A)

Cash distributions paid in January 2024 were treated as a 2024 distribution for federal income tax purposes (See press release related to tax treatment of 2023 dividend distributions). If you were a stockholder of record as of December 26, 2023, $0.20000 will be reported on your 2024 Form 1099 with respect to such cash distribution.

 

(B) 

Pursuant to IRC Section 857(b)(9), distributions made on January 23, 2025, with a record date of December 20, 2024 are treated as received by stockholders on December 31, 2024 to the extent of 2024 earnings and profits. As NYMT’s aggregate 2024 cash distributions exceeded its 2024 earnings and profits, the January 2025 cash distribution declared in December 2024 is treated as a 2025 distribution for federal income tax purposes and is not included on the 2024 Form 1099. If you were a stockholder of record as of December 20, 2024, $0.0000 will be reported on your 2024 Form 1099 and $0.20000 will be reported on your 2025 Form 1099 with respect to such cash distribution.


The Company’s dividend distributions per share of 8.000% Series D Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (CUSIP #649604881) are to be classified for income tax purposes as follows:
