On August 25, 2021, Cherry Hill Mortgage Investment Corporation (the “Company”) entered into separate amendments (the “Amendments”) to the At Market Issuance Sales Agreements, each dated August 31, 2018 (the “Sales Agreements”), between the Company and each of JMP Securities LLC and B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Sales Agents”).  Under the Sales Agreements, the Company may issue and sell up to an aggregate of $50.0 million in shares of its common stock from time to time through the Sales Agents. Prior to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of approximately $19.6 million in shares of its common stock through the Sales Agents. These shares were offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement, dated August 31, 2018, and a base prospectus, dated December 4, 2017 (the ‘‘Prior ATM Prospectus’’).

 

The Amendments amend the Sales Agreements to provide that the shares of common stock issuable from time to time pursuant to the Sales Agreement will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-251078), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 6, 2021.

 

In connection with the entry into the Amendments, the Company filed a new prospectus supplement, dated August 25, 2021, to the prospectus, dated August 6, 2021, with the SEC.  The new prospectus supplement relates to the offer and sale from time to time of up to $30.4 million in shares of the Company’s common stock through the Sales Agents.

 

In connection with the Company’s entry into the Amendments and the filing of the new prospectus supplement, the Company is filing as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K the opinion of its Maryland counsel, Venable LLP.
