share, consistent with the first quarter 2026 dividend and in line with the Board’s previously stated expectation to maintain the

About Chimera Investment Corporation

Chimera is a diversified real estate company that invests in, originates,

and manages primarily residential real estate assets. The assets we may invest in for ourselves and manage for others through our wholly-owned

subsidiary Palisades Advisory Services, LLC, include residential mortgage loans, Non-Agency RMBS, Agency RMBS, RTLs, Investor Loans, MSRs

and other real estate-related assets such as Agency CMBS, junior liens and HELOCs, equity appreciation rights, and reverse mortgages.

Also, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, HomeXpress Mortgage Corp., we primarily originate non-QM residential mortgage loans (both consumer

loans and Investor Loans) as well as a smaller amount of QM residential mortgage loans. Chimera was incorporated in Maryland on June 1,

2007 and started trading on the NYSE in November 2007, and is structured as an internally managed real estate investment trust, or REIT,

for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Forward-Looking Statements

In this press release references

to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Chimera,” or “the Company” refer to Chimera Investment

Corporation and its subsidiaries unless specifically stated otherwise or the context otherwise indicates. This press release includes

“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation

Reform Act of 1995, including as related to the expected impact. Actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections

and, consequently, readers should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “goal,”

“expect,” “target,” “assume,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,”

“forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,”

“plan,” “may,”

“would,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential,”

“continue,” or similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements

involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results, including, among

other things, those described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current

Reports on Form 8-K, under the caption “Risk Factors.” Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are

not limited to: our ability to obtain funding on favorable terms and access the capital markets; our ability to achieve optimal levels

of leverage and effectively manage our liquidity; changes in inflation, the yield curve, interest rates and mortgage prepayment rates;

our ability to manage credit risk related to our investments and comply with the Dodd-Frank Act and related laws and regulations relating

to credit risk retention for securitizations; rates of default, delinquencies, forbearance, deferred payments or decreased recovery rates

on our investments; the concentration of properties securing our securities and residential loans in a small number of geographic areas;

our ability to execute on our business and investment strategy; our ability to determine accurately the fair market value of our assets;

changes in our industry, the general economy or geopolitical conditions, including the ongoing conflicts involving the U.S. in the Middle

East; our ability to successfully integrate and realize the anticipated benefits of any acquisitions, including the acquisition of HomeXpress;

our ability to originate or acquire quality and profitable loans at an appropriate and consistent cost; our ability to sell the loans

that we originate or acquire; our ability to refinance or obtain additional liquidity for borrowing; our ability to manage, maintain and

expand our relationships with our clients, the independent mortgage brokers and bankers; our ability to operate our investment management

and advisory services and manage any regulatory rules and conflicts of interest; the degree to which our hedging strategies may or may

not be effective; our ability to effect our strategy to securitize residential mortgage loans; our ability to compete with competitors

and source target assets at attractive prices; the ability of servicers and other third parties to perform their services at a high level

and comply with applicable law and expanding regulations; our dependence on information technology and its susceptibility to cyber-attacks;

the development, proliferation and use of artificial intelligence; our ability to find and retain qualified executive officers and key

personnel; our ability to comply with extensive government regulation, including, but not limited to, federal and state consumer lending

regulations; the impact of and changes in governmental regulations, tax law and rates, accounting guidance, refinancing and borrowing

guidelines and similar matters; our ability to maintain our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

our ability to maintain our classification as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes; the volatility of the

market price and trading volume of our shares; and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders in the future.

Readers are cautioned not to place

undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Chimera does not undertake or accept any obligation

to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in its expectations or any change

in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. Additional information concerning these and other risk factors

is contained in Chimera’s most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). All subsequent written and oral

forward-looking statements concerning Chimera or matters attributable to Chimera or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified

in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.

Readers are advised that any financial

information in this press release is based on Company data available at the time of this press release and, in certain circumstances,
