#### Proxy Solicitation
This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors ("Board of Directors") of New York Mortgage Trust, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”) for use at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held through a virtual web conference at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/NYMT2025 on Thursday, June 12, 2025 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, and at any adjournment and postponement thereof .

In accordance with our recent practice and to maintain ease of access for our stockholders, this year’s Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. We have designed our virtual format to enhance, rather than constrain, stockholder access, participation and communication. For example, the virtual format allows stockholders to communicate with us in advance of, and during, the Annual Meeting so they can ask questions of our Board of Directors or management. During the live Q&A session of the Annual Meeting, we may answer questions as they come in and address those asked in advance, to the extent relevant to the business of the Annual Meeting, as time permits.

You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online, vote your shares electronically and submit questions during the Annual Meeting by visiting the website listed above. You will need the 16-digit control number included in your proxy card, voting instruction form or any additional voting instructions accompanying these proxy materials to vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting. During the live Q&A session of the Annual Meeting, we may answer questions as they come in to the extent relevant to the business of the Annual Meeting, as time permits.

We mailed, through intermediaries, on or about April 28, 2025, a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders of record as of April 17, 2025. As a result, beginning on the date of the mailing of the Notice, all stockholders of record had
