 of our named executive officers (“ NEOs ”). Because we qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under the SEC rules, we have elected to prepare this Proxy Statement and other annual and periodic reports as a “smaller reporting company” consistent with rules of the SEC. Under the scaled disclosure obligations applicable to smaller reporting companies, we are not required to provide, among other things, a Compensation Discussion and Analysis and certain other tabular and narrative disclosures relating to executive compensation.

The following individuals were our NEOs for the year ending December 31, 2024:

| • |     | Sreeniwas Prabhu, Chief Executive Officer and President; and |
| • |     | Brandon Filson, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.       |

None of our NEOs are employees of the Company. We do not have any employees, and we are managed by our Manager pursuant to our Management Agreement. Our Manager is an affiliate of Angel Oak Capital.

Our NEOs may receive equity compensation under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. In their capacities as officers or employees of Angel Oak (including our Manager) other than those that may be dedicated or partially dedicated to us, such officers or employees will be required to devote as much time to us as our Manager deems necessary and appropriate commensurate with the level of our activity.

Our Management Agreement requires our Manager to provide us with a Chief Executive Officer and President. During the year ended December 31, 2024, Mr. Prabhu served as Chief Executive Officer and President. Our Manager is entitled to reimbursement from us for a proportionate amount of the costs of the wages, salary and benefits incurred by our Manager for Mr. Prabhu based on the percentage of his business time spent on our matters subject to the approval of our Compensation Committee.
