About Ellington Credit Company

Ellington Credit Company, formerly known as Ellington Residential Mortgage REIT, was initially formed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that invested primarily in residential mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"). On March 29, 2024, the Company’s Board of Trustees approved a strategic transformation of its investment strategy to focus on corporate CLOs, with an emphasis on mezzanine debt and equity tranches. In connection with this transformation, the Company revoked its election to be taxed as a REIT (and therefore to be taxed as a C-Corp) effective January 1, 2024, and rebranded to Ellington Credit Company. At a special meeting of shareholders held on January 17, 2025, shareholders approved the Company's conversion to a Delaware registered closed-end fund to be treated as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Conversion”). The Company intends to complete the Conversion in early 2025.

Ellington Credit Company is externally managed and advised by Ellington Credit Company Management LLC, an affiliate of Ellington Management Group, L.L.C.
