Stockholders have the option to
authorize their proxy over the Internet, by telephone or by mail. Please be aware that if you authorize your proxy over the Internet or
by telephone, you may incur costs such as telephone and access charges for which you will be responsible.

Householding

We have adopted a procedure approved
by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, registered stockholders who have the same address and last name and
who receive either (i) a Notice of Access card or (ii) paper copies of the proxy materials through the mail will receive only one copy
of our proxy materials, or a single envelope containing the notices for all stockholders at that address. Stockholders who participate
in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards or Notice of Access cards that will include each stockholder’s unique
control number to vote the shares held in each account. If a stockholder of record residing at such an address wishes to receive separate
proxy materials, he or she may request it orally or in writing by contacting us at Chimera Investment Corporation, 630 Fifth Avenue, Suite
2400, New York, NY 10111, Attention: Investor Relations, by emailing us at investor-relations@chimerareit.com, or by calling us at (888)
895-6557, and we will promptly deliver to the stockholder the requested proxy materials. If a stockholder of record residing at such an
address wishes to receive a separate annual report or proxy statement in the future, he or she may contact us in the same manner. If you
are an eligible stockholder of record receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials, you can request householding by contacting us
in the same manner. If you own your shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee, you can contact the nominee.

Postponement or Adjournment of
the Annual Meeting

We may postpone the Annual
Meeting by making a public announcement of such postponement prior to the Annual Meeting. Our bylaws permit the chairman of the meeting
to recess or adjourn the meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, to a later date and time and without notice other than an announcement
at the Annual Meeting.
