Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 28, 2017, pursuant to a Contribution Agreement dated June 22, 2017 (the “Contribution Agreement”), which was previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 23, 2017 (“June 23, 2017 Form 8-K”), Two Harbors Operating Company LLC (“Two Harbors LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Two Harbors Investment Corp. (“Two Harbors”), completed the transfer of its 100% equity interest in TH Commercial Holdings LLC to Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. (“Granite Point”) and took certain other actions in connection with the formation transactions, which occurred simultaneously with the closing of Granite Point’s initial public offering. In exchange for its contribution, Two Harbors LLC received approximately 33.1 million shares of common stock of Granite Point and other consideration.

In connection with the closing of the Contribution Agreement, the Management Agreement dated as of October 28, 2009 among Two Harbors, Two Harbors LLC and PRCM Advisers LLC was amended (the “Amendment”) to revise the definition of “Stockholders’ Equity” to exclude from such amount the consolidated stockholders’ equity of Granite Point and its subsidiaries as well as the outstanding principal balance of the promissory note received by Two Harbors upon sale of Granite Point preferred shares.

The foregoing descriptions of the Contribution Agreement and the Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, respectively, the Contribution Agreement, a copy of which was attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the June 23, 2017 Form 8-K, and the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
