Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Announces Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitation Relating to Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock

Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: IMH) (the “Company” or “we”), today announced that it has commenced exchange offers (the “Exchange Offers”) and a consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) relating to its outstanding shares of 9.375% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), and its outstanding shares of 9.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock” and together with the Series B Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”).

Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation Relating to Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock

The Company is offering to holders of its outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and to holders of its outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, the opportunity to receive (i) for each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock, (a) cash in the amount of $3.00 or, under certain circumstances described in the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation relating to the Exchange Offers, thirty (30) shares of 8.25% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“New Preferred Stock”); and (b) 13.33 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”); and (ii) for each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock, (a) cash in the amount of $0.10 or, under certain circumstances described in the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation relating to the Exchange Offers, one (1) share of New Preferred Stock; (b) 1.25 shares of Common Stock and (c) a warrant to purchase 1.5 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share of Common Stock.

Concurrently with the Exchange Offers, the Company is also soliciting consents from holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock to amend the provisions of the Company’s charter setting forth the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock (the “Proposed Amendments”) to (1) permit closing of the Exchange Offers, without payment of any accrued or accumulated dividends on any outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, and (2) provide that, following the effectiveness of the Proposed Amendments and the Exchange Offers, the remaining outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock would be subject to redemption at the election of the Company or the holders of any outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as the case may be, for the same consideration as holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock receive in the Exchange Offers.

Among other conditions, consummation of the Exchange Offer for any series of Preferred Stock is conditioned on the holders of at least 66⅔% of the outstanding shares of each series of Preferred Stock consenting to the Exchange Offer and the Proposed Amendment relating to that series of Preferred Stock (the “Individual Series Minimum Condition”). As of September 6, 2022, holders of 68.0% of our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock and holders of 64.6% of our outstanding Series C Preferred Stock have entered into voting agreements agreeing to consent to the Proposed Amendments. The Exchange Offer for each series of Preferred Stock is also conditioned on the approval by holders of Common Stock of the Proposed Amendments and the issuance of shares of Common Stock in the Exchange Offers, which, in the aggregate, will constitute more than 20% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, in accordance with Maryland law, our charter, our bylaws and the rules of the NYSE American. Approval of the Proposed Amendments by holders of our Common Stock requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. Approval of the issuance of shares of Common Stock in the Exchange Offer requires approval of a majority of the votes cast on the matter. As of September 6, 2022, holders of 47.6% of our outstanding Common Stock have entered into voting agreements agreeing to vote to approve the Proposed Amendments and the issuance of Common Stock in the Exchange Offers. The Company may close the Exchange Offer for any series of Preferred Stock only if the Exchange Offer for the other series of Preferred Stock also meets its Individual Series Minimum Condition and the Proposed Amendments become effective.

The offering period will continue until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 20, 2022, unless extended or terminated by us, as described in the Company’s Schedule TO and Prospectus/Consent Solicitation (the “Expiration Date”). Tendered shares of Preferred Stock may be withdrawn by holders at any time prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with procedures described in the Company’s Schedule TO and Prospectus/Consent Solicitation. We will make a public announcement of whether cash or New Preferred Stock will be issued at least five business (5) days prior to the Expiration Date, and, if required by Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we will file an amendment to our Schedule TO reflecting such determination.

The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitation are being made pursuant to a Prospectus/Consent Solicitation dated September 14, 2022, and Schedule TO, dated September 14, 2022, each of which have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and more fully set forth the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitation. The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “IMH.” As of close of business on September 6, 2022, 21,500,935 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding.

D.F. King & Co., Inc. has been appointed as the Information Agent and Solicitation Agent for the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitation, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company has been appointed as the Exchange Agent. Requests for documents should be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc. at (212) 269-5550 for banks and brokers, and at (888) 280-6942 for all other callers (toll-free), or imh@dfking.com.

The forward-looking statements are based on current management expectations.
