#### Registration Rights Agreements
Concurrently with our IPO, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the then-existing partners of Angel Oak Mortgage Fund to whom Angel Oak Mortgage Fund distributed shares of our common stock following a stock dividend to Angel Oak Mortgage Fund. In addition, we entered into a registration rights agreement with respect to any equity-based awards that we may grant to our Manager under our 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. Each registration rights agreement provides certain “demand” and shelf registration rights and customary “piggyback” registration rights with respect to such shares of our common stock. Each registration rights agreement also provides that we will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the registration rights holders against certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”).

#### Shareholder Rights Agreements
Concurrently with our IPO, we and our Manager entered into separate shareholder rights agreements with each of the MS Investor and the DK Investor. Pursuant to the MS shareholder rights agreement, the MS Investor, subject to certain limitations, has the right to designate one nominee for election to the Board for so long as the MS Investor and its affiliates beneficially own, in the aggregate, shares of our common stock representing at least 10% of the shares of our common stock then outstanding (excluding shares of our common stock that are subject to issuance upon the exercise or exchange of rights of conversion, or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of our common stock). Furthermore, pursuant to the DK shareholder rights agreement, the DK Investor, subject to certain limitations, has the right to designate one nominee for election to the Board for so long as the DK Investor and its affiliates (1) maintain beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock equal to at least 10% of the shares of our common stock then outstanding or (2) are one of the largest three (3) beneficial owners of shares of our common stock and maintain beneficial ownership, in the aggregate, of shares of our common stock equal to at least 7% of the shares of our common stock then outstanding. For purposes of the ownership requirements in the DK shareholder rights agreement, shares of our common stock that are subject to issuance upon the exercise or exchange of rights of conversion, or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares, will not be counted as outstanding.
