Board Oversight of Sustainability
Reporting, Human Capital Management and Cybersecurity Risk

At Chimera, we have always believed
that doing the “right thing” is not only good corporate citizenship, but that it is also good for business. We believe that
positive social impact can be the foundation of a profitable investment opportunity, rather than a detractor from financial returns.

The set forth committee charters
and the Corporate Governance Guidelines reflect the oversight and other responsibilities of our Board of Directors and its committees
related to our sustainability reporting, including any climate or related reporting that may be required by the SEC or other regulatory
authority, human capital management and cybersecurity risk. In addition, under their respective charters, the compensation committee has
specific responsibilities related to our human capital management and the nominating and corporate governance committee has specific responsibilities
related to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, if any.

Sustainability

As a small enterprise, our
energy consumption and carbon footprint are relatively limited. However, we aim to reduce our environmental impact in several ways. For
example, we are mindful of the environmental impact of business travel and encourage the reduction of air travel in favor of videoconferencing
when appropriate. We offer hybrid working arrangements and a commuter program to reduce single-car travel and increase the use of public
transportation. As an investment company with fewer than 90 employees, our energy consumption is relatively modest. Our headquarters in
New York City is located in a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) Silver certified building and our offices
in Austin, Texas are located in a LEED Gold certified building, resulting in efficient energy usage. We will continue to seek financially
responsible opportunities to reduce our carbon footprint and lower our energy usage, while prioritizing our business performance.

Lastly, as an investor relying
on the financial performance of physical real estate assets, our financial performance may be subject to risks posed by increasingly frequent
extreme weather events. We will seek to identify our exposure (particularly to assets in flood zones), consider potential losses given
climate events, and incorporate climate change considerations into our long-term planning and business analysis.

Human Capital

We believe that our employees are
one of our greatest resources and critical to the success of our organization. To that end, we focus on attracting, developing and retaining
key personnel. We believe our management team has the experience necessary to effectively implement our growth strategy and continue
