American Capital Agency Corp. was organized on January 7, 2008, and commenced operations on May 20, 2008 following the completion of its initial public offering ('IPO'). It is a REIT that invests exclusively in residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations on a leveraged basis. These investments consist of securities for which principal and interest are guaranteed by government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or by a U.S. Government agency such as Ginnie Mae. The Company refers to these types of securities as agency securities and the specific agency securities in which it invests as its investment portfolio. It is externally managed by American Capital Agency Management, LLC ('Manager'). The Company's Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Capital, LLC, which is a wholly-owned portfolio company of American Capital. The Company's principal objective is to generate net income for distribution to its stockholders through regular quarterly dividends from its net interest income, which is the spread between the interest income earned on its investment portfolio and the interest costs of its borrowings and hedging activities, and realized gains on its investments. The agency securities in which it invests consist of residential pass-through certificates and collateralized mortgage obligations ('CMOs'), for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a U.S. Government agency or U.S. Government-sponsored entity.
