Our outstanding balances under our repurchase agreement borrowings as of March 31, 2020 were approximately $52.4 million, compared to $210.0 million

2020.

Effective duration is the approximate percentage change in price for a 100 basis point change in rates. An effective duration of 3.266 indicates
that an interest rate increase of 1.0% would be expected to cause a 3.266% decrease in the value of the MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2020. An effective duration of 3.196 indicates that an interest rate increase of
1.0% would be expected to cause a 3.196% decrease in the value of the MBS in the Company’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2019. These figures include the structured securities in the portfolio but not the effect of the Company’s
hedges. Effective duration quotes for individual investments are obtained from The Yield Book, Inc.
