Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO), a leading hybrid mortgage real estate investment trust, today declared a quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share of common stock for the third quarter of 2016. This dividend is payable on October 20, 2016 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 2016.

Two Harbors distributes dividends based on its current estimate of taxable earnings per common share, not GAAP earnings. Taxable and GAAP earnings are expected to differ principally because of differences in discount accretion and premium amortization, certain non-taxable unrealized and realized gain and losses on derivatives, and non-deductible general and administrative expenses.
