Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(b) Resignation of Director.
On April 16, 2013, William W. Johnson advised the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Two Harbors Investment Corp. (the “Company”) of his intent to resign from the Company’s Board and its committees effective as of a future date convenient to the Company, but not later than August 1, 2013. Mr. Johnson’s decision to resign from the Board was due to his acceptance of new employment and was not the result of a disagreement with the Company relating to its operations, policies or practices. Mr. Johnson currently serves as a member of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance, Compensation and Risk Oversight Committees.
Mr. Johnson was nominated to stand for reelection as a director at the Company’s upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 21, 2013 and Mr. Johnson will continue to stand for reelection at such annual meeting of stockholders. The Board continues to recommend stockholders vote “FOR” the reelection of Mr. Johnson. The vacancy created on the Board resulting from Mr. Johnson’s resignation will be filled at a time the Board believes is appropriate.
The information set forth herein supplements the Company’s Proxy Statement dated April 3, 2013 and furnished to holders of the Company’s common stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 21, 2013, or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
