Two Harbors Investment Corp. Announces Second 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 second quarter of 2011. This dividend is payable July 20, 2011 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on June 24, 2011.

Two Harbors distributes dividends based on its current estimate of taxable earnings per common share, not GAAP earnings.
