Explanation of Responses:
(1)	On May 22, 2020, the reporting person elected to convert 1,840 shares out of 2,250 shares of vested phantom stock into 1,840 shares of ARMOUR common stock. The person elected to convert the remaining 410 shares of vested phantom stock into cash solely to pay income taxes on the vested stock. The 2,250 shares are part of, and relate to, phantom stock vesting over five-year periods, which was reported on Form 4 reports filed by the reporting person on November 22, 2017 and February 25, 2020.
(2)	Each unit of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of ARMOUR common stock.
(3)	The reporting person voluntarily forfeited 34,000 shares of phantom stock, but subsequently retained 19,000 shares of phantom stock effective March 31, 2020. Of the 19,000 phantom shares retained, 1,500 phantom shares vested on May 20, 2020, with an additional 1,750 phantom shares vesting on each following August 20, November 20, February 20, and May 20, through November 20, 2022, at which time all phantom stock shall have vested. Upon vesting, the reporting person will be entitled to an equal number of shares of ARMOUR common stock within 30 days.
