("EMGH") and sold in a block trade in connection with a transaction described in further detail on a Form 8-K dated December 18, 2012 filed by Ellington Financial LLC (the "Company"). In connection with this transaction, EMGH intends to purchase an equal amount of operating units (at the same price at which the block sale was consummated) in a new subsidiary operating partnership of the Company (which operating units will be convertible on a one-for-one basis into Company common shares), thus changing only the form of beneficial ownership by Michael W. Vranos, VC Investments LLC ("VC") and EMGH from non-derivative security to derivative security. All proceeds from the sale are being contributed to the Company's operating partnership in connection with the transaction described above.

Vranos and VC, 2,150,091 common shares are owned directly by EMGH and 53,207 common shares are directly owned by Ellington Financial Management LLC ("EFM"), the Company's manager.
