Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains certain forward-looking statements which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond our control) and may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “continue,” or similar terms or variations on those terms or the negative of those terms. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, which are discussed in “Risk Factors” in Annaly’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Annaly does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements except as required by law.
