Two Harbors Investment Corp. Announces Fourth Quarter 2011 Dividend of $0.40 per Share

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Board of Directors of Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO; NYSE Amex: TWO.WS) today declared a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock for the fourth quarter of 2011. This dividend is payable January 20, 2012 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on December 27, 2011.

Two Harbors distributes dividends based on its current estimate of taxable earnings per common share, not GAAP earnings. Taxable and GAAP earnings are expected to differ principally because of differences in discount accretion and premium amortization, certain non-taxable unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivatives, and non-deductible general and administrative expenses.
