**EXPLANATORY NOTE**

Orchid Island Capital, Inc. is filing this Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-269339), initially filed on January 20, 2023 (the "Registration Statement"), solely for the purpose of (i) modifying the amount of remaining unsold securities to be included on the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) that were registered on a previously filed registration statement, as indicated in Exhibit 107 to this Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 and (ii) to file an updated consent of BDO USA, LLP, the registrant's independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, this Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 consists solely of this explanatory note, Part II of the Registration Statement, the signatures and the exhibit index and is not intended to amend or delete any part of the Registration Statement except as specifically noted herein.

(1) We previously registered $1,000,000,000 in aggregate offering price of securities pursuant to the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-236144) filed with the SEC on January 29, 2020 and declared effective on February 10,
2020 (the "2020 Registration Statement"). Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, we are carrying forward
to this Registration Statement $352,000,198.88 in aggregate offering price of securities that were initially registered under the 2020
Registration Statement and remain unsold. Additionally, the 2020 Registration Statement registered 304,007 shares of common stock (adjusted
for our one-for-five reverse stock split effective August 30, 2022) in a secondary offering with an aggregate offering price not
to exceed $9,454,624.00, all of which remain unsold (the "Unsold Secondary Shares"). Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under
the Securities Act, we are offsetting the registration fee due under this registration statement by $1,227.00, which represents a portion
of the registration fee relating to the Unsold Secondary Shares previously paid in connection with the 2020 Registration Statement. A
filing fee of $70,928.85 with respect to the newly registered securities hereunder, which represents the total registration fee adjusted
for the total fee offsets with respect to the Unsold Secondary Shares, is being paid in connection with this Registration Statement.

\* Estimated expenses are not presently known.

| **ITEM 15.** | **INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS** |

---

The Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (1) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (2) active and deliberate dishonesty that is established by a final judgment and is material to the cause of action. Our charter contains a provision that eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made, or threatened to be made, a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding
and (1) was committed in bad faith or (2) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the
act or omission was unlawful.

However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by such director or officer, unless in either case a court orders indemnification, and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon its receipt of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a written undertaking by the director or officer or on the director's or officer's behalf
to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer did not meet the
standard of conduct.

Our charter authorizes us and our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of such a proceeding to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any present or former director or officer of the Company who is made, or threatened to be made, a party
to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· any individual who, while a director or officer of the Company and at our request, serves or has served
as a director, officer, partner, trustee, member or manager of another corporation, real estate investment trust, limited liability company,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made, or threatened to be made, a party to the
proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity.

Our charter and bylaws also permit us, with the approval of our Board of Directors, to indemnify and advance expenses to any individual who served our predecessor in any of the capacities described above and to any employee or agent of the Company or our predecessor.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that provide for indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration
statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in
the effective registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement;

*provided*, *however*, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference into this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933 that is part of this registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act
of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included
in this registration statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) under
the Securities Act of 1933 as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B under the Securities Act of 1933 relating
to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) under the Securities Act of 1933 for the purpose of providing
the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration
statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of
sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B under the Securities Act of 1933, for liability
purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of this
registration statement relating to the securities in this registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in
a registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated
by reference into this registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a
time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement
or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant
under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of
the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities
to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned
registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required
to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant
or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information
about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference into this registration statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection
(a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities
and Exchange Commission under section 305(b)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Subject
 to Note 8 below, includes an indeterminate number of securities at indeterminate prices that may be issued from time to time in primary
 offerings or upon exercise, conversion or exchange of any securities registered hereunder that provide for exercise, conversion or
 exchange.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Not specified
 as to each class of securities to be registered hereunder pursuant to General Instruction II.D. to Form S-3 under the Securities
 Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The proposed maximum offering price per security will be determined from
 time to time by the Registrant in connection with the issuance by the Registrant of the securities registered hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Subject
 to Note 8 below, there is being registered hereunder an indeterminate number of shares of common stock or preferred stock from time
 to time separately or as units in combination with other securities registered hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Subject
 to Note 8 below, with respect to debt securities, excluding accrued interest and accrued amortization of discount, if any, to the
 date of delivery. If any debt securities are issued at an original issue discount, then the offering price shall be in such greater
 principal amount as shall result in an aggregate price to investors not to exceed $1,000,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Subject
 to Note 8 below, there is being registered hereunder an indeterminate number of warrants as may be sold, from time to time separately
 or as units in combination with other securities registered hereunder, representing rights to purchase common stock or preferred
 stock.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) Subject
 to Note 8 below, there is being registered hereunder an indeterminate number of units. Each unit may consist of a combination of
 any one or more of the securities being registered hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) The proposed
 maximum offering price per security will be determined from time to time by the Registrant in connection with the sale by the Registrant
 of the securities registered hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) In no event
 will the aggregate offering price of all securities issued from time to time pursuant to the primary offering hereunder exceed $1,000,000,000.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) The Registrant
 previously registered $1,000,000,000 in aggregate offering price of securities in a primary offering pursuant to the Registration
 Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-236144) filed with the SEC on January 29, 2020 and declared effective on February 10,
 2020 (the "2020 Registration Statement"). Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, the Registrant
 is carrying forward to this Registration Statement $352,000,198.88 in aggregate offering price of securities that were initially
 registered in the primary offering under the 2020 Registration Statement and remain unsold (the "Unsold Securities").
 The Registrant previously paid a filing fee of $45,689.63 with respect to the Unsold Securities (based on the filing fee rate in
 effect at the time of the filing of the 2020 Registration Statement). In connection with the initial filing of this Registration
 Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-269339) filed with the SEC on January 20, 2023 (the "Registration Statement"),
 the Registrant paid a filing fee of $68,464.33, consisting of $68,945.07 with respect to $625,635,721.30 of securities registered
 in the primary offering under the Registration Statement (the "Previously Paid Securities") offset by the Unsold Secondary
 Offset (as defined below). A filing fee of $2,464.52 with respect to an additional $22,364,079.82 of securities registered in
 the primary offering under the Registration Statement is being transmitted herewith. To the extent that, after the filing date hereof
 and prior to the effectiveness of this Registration Statement, the Registrant sells any Unsold Securities pursuant to the 2020 Registration
 Statement, the Registrant will identify in a pre-effective amendment to this Registration Statement the updated amount of Unsold
 Securities from the 2020 Registration Statement to be included in this Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under
 the Securities Act and the updated amount of securities to be registered on this Registration Statement. Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) under
 the Securities Act, the offering of the Unsold Securities under the 2020 Registration Statement will be deemed terminated as of the
 date of effectiveness of this Registration Statement.

(10) The 2020
 Registration Statement registered 304,007 shares of common stock (adjusted for the Registrant's one-for-five reverse stock
 split effective August 30, 2022) in a secondary offering with an aggregate offering price not to exceed $9,454,624.00, all of
 which remain unsold (the "Unsold Secondary Shares"). Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, in connection
 with the initial filing of the Registration Statement, the Registrant applied the $1,227.00 registration fee previously paid in connection
 with the 2020 Registration Statement with respect to the Unsold Secondary Shares to offset (a) the $746.27 filing fee payable
 in connection with the registration of the shares of common stock for resale by the selling stockholders named in the Registration
 Statement, and (b) $480.73 of the filing fee payable in connection with the Previously Paid Securities (the "Unsold Secondary
 Offset"). Accordingly, no filing fee was transmitted with respect to the secondary offering in connection with the filing of
 the Registration Statement. Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the offering of the Unsold Secondary
 Shares under the 2020 Registration Statement was terminated concurrently with the filing of the Registration Statement.

(11) Pursuant
 to Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act, and solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee, the proposed maximum
 offering price per share is the average of the high and low prices reported for the Registrant's common stock quoted on the
 New York Stock Exchange on January 13, 2023.
