On April 28, 2026, Two Harbors Investment Corp. ("Two Harbors") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2026. A copy of the press release and the 2026 First Quarter Earnings Call Presentation are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be "filed" for any other purpose, including for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings (unless the registrant specifically states that the information or exhibit in this Item 2.02 is incorporated by reference). FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This Form 8-K may contain "forward-looking statements," including certain plans, expectations, goals, projections and statements about the merger (the "CCM Merger") with CrossCountry Intermediate Holdco, LLC ("CCM"), Two Harbors Investment Corp.'s ("TWO") and CCM's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, the expected timing of completion of the proposed CCM Merger, the ability of the parties to complete the proposed CCM Merger considering the various closing conditions; and other statements that are not historical facts. Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Statements that do not describe historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this 8-K that address activities, events or developments that TWO or CCM expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Words such as "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "potential," "create," "estimate," "plan," "continue," "intend," "could," "foresee," "should," "would," "may," "will," "guidance," "look," "outlook," "goal," "future," "assume," "forecast," "build," "focus," "work," or the negative of such terms or other variations thereof and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. TWO's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although TWO believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that their expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this 8-K. These include, among other things: the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed CCM Merger; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the proposed CCM Merger; the potential failure to receive, on a timely basis or otherwise, the required approvals of the proposed CCM Merger, including stockholder approval by TWO stockholders, and the potential failure to satisfy the other conditions to the consummation of the proposed CCM Merger in a timely manner or at all; risks related to disruption of management's attention from ongoing business operations due to the proposed CCM Merger; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed CCM Merger could have adverse effects on the market price of TWO common stock; the risk that the proposed CCM Merger and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of TWO to retain and hire key personnel and the effect on TWO's operating results and business generally; the outcome of any legal proceedings relating to the proposed CCM Merger, including stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed CCM Merger; the risk that restrictions during the pendency of the proposed CCM Merger may impact TWO's ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; that TWO may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors; changes in future loan production; the availability of suitable investment opportunities; changes in interest rates; changes in the yield curve; changes in prepayment rates; the availability and terms of financing; general economic conditions and market conditions; conditions in the market for mortgage-related investments; and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect TWO's business. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond the control of TWO and CCM, including those detailed in TWO's annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and periodic reports on Form 8-K that are available on TWO's website at www.twoinv.com/investors and on the Securities and Exchange Commission's (the "SEC") website at www.sec.gov. Each of the forward-looking statements of TWO are based on assumptions that TWO believes to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and TWO does not undertake any obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,  |

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof.

Quarterly Summary • Entered into a definitive merger agreement with CrossCountry Mortgage, LLC ("CrossCountry" or "CCM"), pursuant to which CCM will acquire all of the outstanding shares of TWO common stock. ◦ In connection with entering into the merger agreement with CCM, TWO terminated its previously announced merger agreement, dated December 17, 2025, with UWM Holdings Corporation (NYSE: UWMC). ◦ On April 28, 2026, announced the signing of an amendment to the previously announced merger agreement, whereby CCM will increase the per-share cash consideration payable to TWO stockholders to $11.30 per share, an increase from $10.80 per share under the original merger agreement. ◦ Holders of TWO's Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred Stock will have their shares redeemed following the closing of the transaction at $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends, in accordance with the terms of the preferred stock. ◦ Prior to the closing of the merger, TWO intends to pay regular quarterly dividends in the ordinary course consistent with past practice for all completed quarterly periods. TWO does not intend to pay a partial dividend for the quarter in which the closing occurs in the event the closing does not occur as of quarter-end. ◦ The transaction is still expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to approval of TWO's stockholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions, including customary regulatory approvals. • Reported book value of $10.57 per common share, and declared a first quarter common stock dividend of $0.34 per share, representing a (2.0)% quarterly economic return on book value.(1) • Generated comprehensive loss of $(24.7) million, or $(0.24) per weighted average basic common share. • Convertible senior notes of $261.9 million in UPB were repaid in full on their January 15, 2026 maturity date • Added $151.8 million in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of MSR through flow-sale acquisitions and recapture. • As of March 31, 2026, MSR portfolio had a weighted average gross coupon rate of 3.54% and a 60+ day delinquency rate of 0.81%, and had experienced a 3-month CPR of 5.6%. • Funded $92.3 million UPB in loans and brokered an additional $38.2 million UPB in second lien loans. "In the first quarter, we executed a new merger agreement with CCM, and in connection with entering into this agreement, we terminated the prior merger agreement with UWM," said Bill Greenberg, TWO's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This combination pairs the country's leading retail originator with RoundPoint's best-in-class servicing platform, creating a fully integrated mortgage company. I am confident that this is the best outcome for our shareholders, and our Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the merger." ________________ (1) Economic return on book value is defined as the increase (decrease) in common book value from the beginning to the end of the given period, plus dividends declared to common stockholders in the period, divided by common book value as of the beginning of the period. - 1 - Exhibit 99.1 |

"However, mortgage spreads outperformed the increase in volatility, due to the January directive from the Administration for the GSEs to purchase $200 billion of MBS, which added to the already positive supply/demand technicals. The situation in the Middle East continues to be highly fluid, with a broad range of outcomes, which will drive the near-term outlook of risk assets. The widening of spreads by quarter-end improved the return potential of our portfolio."

TWO is headquartered in St. Louis Park, MN. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This press release may contain "forward-looking statements," including certain plans, expectations, goals, projections and statements about the merger (the "CCM Merger") with CrossCountry Intermediate Holdco, LLC ("CCM"), Two Harbors Investment Corp.'s ("TWO") and CCM's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, the expected timing of completion of the proposed CCM Merger, the ability of the parties to complete the proposed CCM Merger considering the various closing conditions; and other statements that are not historical facts. Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Statements that do not describe historical or current facts, including statements about beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that TWO or CCM expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Words such as "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "potential," "create," "estimate," "plan," "continue," "intend," "could," "foresee," "should," "would," "may," "will," "guidance," "look," "outlook," "goal," "future," "assume," "forecast," "build," "focus," "work," or the negative of such terms or other variations thereof and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. Projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. TWO's ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although TWO believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that their expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in this press release. These include, among other things: the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the proposed CCM Merger; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the proposed CCM Merger; the potential failure to receive, on a timely basis or otherwise, the required approvals of the proposed CCM Merger, including stockholder approval by TWO stockholders, and the potential failure to satisfy the other conditions to the consummation of the proposed CCM Merger in a timely manner or at all; risks related to disruption of management's attention from ongoing business operations due to the proposed CCM Merger; the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed CCM Merger could have adverse effects on the market price of TWO common stock; the risk that the proposed CCM Merger and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of TWO to retain and hire key personnel and the effect on TWO's operating results and business generally; the outcome of any legal proceedings relating to the proposed CCM Merger, including stockholder litigation in connection with the proposed CCM Merger; the risk that restrictions during the pendency of the proposed CCM Merger may impact TWO's ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; that TWO may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors; changes in future loan production; the availability of suitable investment opportunities; changes in interest rates; changes in the yield curve; changes in prepayment rates; the availability and terms of financing; general economic conditions and market conditions; conditions in the market for mortgage-related investments; and legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect TWO's business. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond - 6 - |

This press release is not a substitute for the Proxy Statement or any other documents that TWO may file with the SEC or send to TWO stockholders in connection with the proposed CCM Merger. INVESTORS AND SECURITYHOLDERS OF TWO ARE ADVISED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT REGARDING THE PROPOSED CCM MERGER (INCLUDING ALL OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT ARE FILED OR WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THESE DOCUMENTS) CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED CCM MERGER AND RELATED MATTERS.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying investor presentation present non-GAAP financial measures, such as earnings available for distribution and related per basic common share measures. The non-GAAP financial measures presented by the company provide supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the company's results of operations and help facilitate comparisons to industry peers. However, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The company's GAAP financial results and the reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. See the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation table on page 11 of this release.

(2) TBA dollar roll income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. (3) U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements. (4) Merger-related costs consist of expenses incurred in connection with the company's proposed merger with CCM, as well as its terminated merger with UWM. (5) EAD is a non-GAAP measure that we define as comprehensive (loss) income attributable to common stockholders, excluding realized and unrealized gains and losses on the aggregate investment portfolio, gains and losses on repurchases of preferred stock, provision for (reversal of) credit losses, reserve expense for representation and warranty obligations on MSR, non-cash compensation expense related to equity incentive plans and merger-related costs. As defined, EAD includes net interest income, accrual and settlement of interest on derivatives, dollar roll income on TBAs, U.S. Treasury futures income, servicing income, net of estimated amortization on MSR and certain cash related operating expenses. EAD provides supplemental information to assist investors in analyzing the company's results of operations and helps facilitate comparisons to industry peers. EAD is one of several measures our board of directors considers to determine the amount of dividends to declare on our common stock and should not be considered an indication of our taxable income or as a proxy for the amount of dividends we may declare. - 11 - |

Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: the state of credit markets and general economic conditions; changes in interest rates and the market value of our assets; changes in prepayment rates of mortgages underlying our target assets; the rates of default or decreased recovery on the mortgages underlying our target assets; declines in home prices; our ability to establish, adjust and maintain appropriate hedges for the risks in our portfolio; the availability and cost of our target assets; the availability and cost of financing; changes in the competitive landscape within our industry; our ability to effectively execute and to realize the benefits of strategic transactions and initiatives we have pursued or may in the future pursue; our entry into a merger agreement with CrossCountry Mortgage, LLC and the ability to complete the proposed transaction; our ability to manage various operational risks and costs associated with our business, including the risks associated with operating a mortgage loan servicer and originator; interruptions in or impairments to our communications and information technology systems; our ability to acquire mortgage servicing rights (MSR) and to maintain our MSR portfolio; our exposure to legal and regulatory claims; legislative and regulatory actions affecting our business; our ability to maintain our REIT qualification; and limitations imposed on our business due to our REIT status and our exempt status under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. TWO does not undertake or accept any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

RMBS QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE II. SPECIFIED POOL PREPAYMENT SPEEDS(1) (2) (3) QUARTERLY HIGHLIGHTS • For the coupons that TWO owned for the full duration of the quarter, specified pools mostly outperformed TBAs • Post spread tightening in mid-January, we lowered our spread exposure then managed it higher as spreads widened later in the quarter • Exposure was reduced to 4.5s mostly through sales of specified pools, while holdings increased in 5.5% specified pools with better carry and relative value • The pickup in realized volatility increased hedging costs for both securities and MSR • Weighted average specified pool portfolio prepayment speeds increased to 9.8%, compared to 8.6% in the fourth quarter(1), mostly from increases in higher coupons that responded to the quarterly low in mortgage rates |

Includes interest income, net of premium amortization/discount accretion, on Agency and non-Agency investment securities, servicing income, net of estimated amortization and servicing expenses, on MSR, and the implied asset yield portion of dollar roll income on TBAs. Amortization on MSR refers to the portion of change in fair value of MSR primarily attributed to the realization of expected cash flows (runoff) of the portfolio, which is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company's decision to account for MSR at fair value. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. 2. As reported elsewhere in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, MSR, Agency derivatives, TBA, interest rate swap agreements and U.S. Treasury futures are reported at fair value in the company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and the GAAP presentation and disclosure requirements for these items do not define or include the concepts of yield or cost of financing, amortized cost, or outstanding borrowings. 3. Amortized cost on MSR for a given period equals the net present value of the remaining future cash flows (obtained by applying original prepayment assumptions to the actual unpaid principal balance at the start of the period) using a discount rate equal to the original pricing yield. Original pricing yield is the discount rate which makes the net present value of the cash flows projected at purchase equal to the purchase price. MSR amortized cost is deemed a non-GAAP measure due to the company's decision to account for MSR at fair value. 4. Represents inverse interest-only Agency RMBS which are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. 5. Both the implied asset yield and implied financing benefit/cost of dollar roll income on TBAs are calculated using the average cost basis of TBAs as the denominator. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. TBAs are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. 6. Includes interest expense and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs on borrowings under repurchase agreements (excluding those collateralized by U.S. Treasuries), revolving credit facilities, senior notes and convertible senior notes, interest spread income/expense and amortization of upfront payments made or received upon entering into interest rate swap agreements, and the implied financing benefit/cost portion of dollar roll income on TBAs. TBA dollar roll income is the non-GAAP economic equivalent to holding and financing Agency RMBS using short-term repurchase agreements. 7. Unsecured senior notes. 8. Unsecured convertible senior notes. 9. The cost of financing on interest rate swaps held to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the company's outstanding borrowings is calculated using average borrowings balance as the denominator. 10. The cost of financing on U.S. Treasury futures held to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the company's outstanding borrowings is calculated using average borrowings balance as the denominator. U.S. Treasury futures income is the economic equivalent to holding and financing a relevant cheapest-to-deliver U.S. Treasury note or bond using short-term repurchase agreements. PAGE 22 - Agency RMBS Portfolio 1. Weighted average actual one-month CPR released at the beginning of the following month based on RMBS held as of the preceding month-end. 2. Determination of the percentage of prepay protected 30-year fixed Agency RMBS includes securities with implicit or explicit prepayment protection, including lower loan balances (securities collateralized by loans less than or equal to $300K of initial principal balance), higher LTVs (securities collateralized by loans with greater than or equal to 80% LTV), certain geographic concentrations, loans secured by investor-owned properties, and lower FICO scores. 3. Other P&I includes 15-year fixed, Hybrid ARMs, CMO and DUS pools. 4. IOs and IIOs represent market value of $64.0 million of Agency derivatives and $16.0 million of interest-only Agency RMBS. Agency derivatives are inverse interest-only Agency RMBS, which are accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. 5. Bond equivalent value is defined as the notional amount multiplied by market price. TBA contracts accounted for as derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. 6. Three-month prepayment speeds of delivered TBA contracts; average of J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, and Citi data. PAGE 23 - Mortgage Servicing Rights Portfolio 1. MSR portfolio excludes residential mortgage loans for which the company is the named servicing administrator. Portfolio metrics, other than fair value and UPB, represent averages weighted by UPB. 2. FICO represents a mortgage industry-accepted credit score of a borrower. 32 End Notes (continued) |

Off-balance sheet mortgage loans owned by third parties and subserviced by the Company. 2. Off-balance sheet mortgage loans owned by third parties for which the Company acts as servicing administrator (subserviced by appropriately licensed third-party subservicers). 3. Originated or purchased mortgage loans held-for-sale at period-end. PAGE 26 - Financing 1. As of March 31, 2026, outstanding borrowings had a weighted average of 5.1 months to maturity. 2. Repurchase agreements and revolving credit facilities secured by MSR and/or other assets may be over-collateralized due to operational considerations. PAGE 27 - Futures 1. Exchange-traded derivative instruments (futures and options on futures) require the posting of an "initial margin" amount determined by the clearing exchange, which is generally intended to be set at a level sufficient to protect the exchange from the derivative instrument's maximum estimated single-day price movement. The company also exchanges "variation margin" based upon daily changes in fair value, as measured by the exchange. The exchange of variation margin is considered a settlement of the derivative instrument, as opposed to pledged collateral. Accordingly, the receipt or payment of variation margin is accounted for as a direct reduction to the carrying value of the exchange-traded derivative asset or liability. 33 End Notes (continued) |
