Investor Presentation June 11, 2012
2 Safe Harbor Statement NOTE: This presentation contains certain statements that are not historical facts and that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this presentation addressing expectations, assumptions, beliefs, projections, future plans, strategies, and events, developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future, and future operating results are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this presentation may include, but are not limited to statements about projected future investment strategies and leverage ratios, future financial performance, the projected impact of NOL carryforwards, future dividends paid to shareholders, and future investment opportunities and capital raising activities. The words “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “assume,” “project,” “plan,” “continue,” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect our current beliefs, assumptions and expectations based on information currently available to us, and are applicable only as of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and any of which could cause the Company’s actual results and timing of certain events to differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Not all of these risks, uncertainties and other factors are known to us. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible to predict those risks or uncertainties or how they may affect us. The projections, assumptions, expectations or beliefs upon which the forward-looking statements are based can also change as a result of these risks and uncertainties or other factors. If such a risk, uncertainty, or other factor materializes in future periods, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. While it is not possible to identify all factors, some of the factors that may cause actual results to differ from historical results or from any results expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, or that may cause our projections, assumptions, expectations or beliefs to change, include the following: the risks and uncertainties referenced in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, particularly those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors”; our ability to find suitable reinvestment opportunities; changes in economic conditions; changes in interest rates and interest rate spreads, including the repricing of interest-earnings assets and interest-bearing liabilities; our investment portfolio performance particularly as it relates to cash flow, prepayment rates and credit performance; the cost and availability of financing; the cost and availability of new equity capital; changes in our use of leverage; the quality of performance of third-party service providers of our loans and loans underlying our securities; the level of defaults by borrowers on loans we have securitized; changes in our industry; increased competition; changes in government regulations affecting our business; regulatory actions, if any, taken in connection with an SEC review of certain sections of the Investment Company Act of 1940; government initiatives to support the U.S financial system and U.S. housing and real estate markets; financial condition and future operations of the GSEs; GSE reform or other government policies and actions; an ownership shift under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code that impacts the use of our tax NOL carry forward; and our continued eligibility for inclusion in Russell Indexes and the materiality of the income taxes which may be due to the Company’s ownership of securities which generate excess inclusion income.

Portfolio Performance *As presented on this slide, Q3-2011 return on average equity is calculated based on a measure that excludes the impact of certain items on earnings per share (EPS Ex-Items). EPS Ex-Items for Q3-2011 was $0.32 and excludes from GAAP earnings per share the impact of litigation settlement and related defense costs of $8.2 million (or $0.20 per diluted common share), a loss of $2.0 million (or $0.05 per diluted common share) on redemption of non-recourse collateralized financings, and $1.3 million (or $0.03 per diluted common share) in net accelerated premium amortization due to an increase in forecasted prepayment speeds during the third quarter of 2011. For Q3-2011, reported diluted EPS was $0.04 and reported annualized ROAE was 1.6%. 17.5% 18.4% 21.2% 21.5% 14.6% 15.4% 17.6% 17.9% 14% 16% 18% 20% 22% 24% 1 mo 3 mo 6 mo 1 year Agency Total portfolio Quarter ended Quarter ended March 31, 2012 December 31, 2011 Agency Non-Agency Portfolio Agency Non-Agency Portfolio 2.98% 6.49% 3.58% 3.11% 6.36% 3.76% (0.91%) (2.52%) (1.17%) (0.91%) (2.73%) (1.20%) 2.07% 3.97% 2.41% 2.20% 3.63% 2.56% Investment Yield Cost of funds Net int r st spread Net Interest Spread Prepayment Performance 5.1x 5.3x 5.5x 6.0x 5.8x 5.4x 16.17% 13.20% 14.10% 13.70% 15.60% 14.70% 3% 6% 9% 12% 15% 18% 4.6 4.8 5 5.2 5.4 5.6 5.8 6 6.2 Q4-2010 Q1-2011 Q2-2011 Q3-2011 Q4-2011 Q1-2012 * Leverage and ROE (as of March 31, 2012)

The range of returns on equity is based on certain assumptions, including assumptions relating to asset allocation percentages and spreads where mortgage assets can be acquired versus a current cost of funds to finance acquisitions of those assets. Rates used represent a range of asset yields and funding costs based on data available as of the date referenced above. Any change in the assumed yields, funding costs or assumed leverage could materially alter the company’s returns. There can be no assurance that asset yields or funding costs will remain at current levels. For a discussion of risks that may affect our ability to implement strategy and other factors which may affect our potential returns, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

17 Portfolio Summary Our portfolio has performed well since 2008 and the earnings power today remains relatively intact Prepayment risk is mitigated by superior portfolio construction and HARP 2.0 should have less impact on Hybrid ARMs. Credit risk is mitigated by highly-rated securities, superior loan origination years and concentration in multifamily collateral. Extension risk is mitigated by the short-duration investment portfolio with 79% of the investments maturing or resetting within seven years (as of March 31, 2012). There continues to be attractive investment opportunities to deploy capital despite the volatile financial markets.
18 Dynex Value Proposition Source: SNL High insider ownership aligns interests and reduces incentives to raise dilutive capital High quality, short duration strategy reduces volatility of results Diversified strategy offers superior capital allocation opportunities Our success since 2008 illustrates our commitment to delivering shareholder value +62.81%
