AMENDMENT NO. 4 TO SCHEDULE 13D
RELATING TO THE COMMON STOCK OF
CHIMERA INVESTMENT CORPORATION
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
Item 1 is supplemented as follows:
This Amendment No. 4 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Chimera Investment Corporation (the “Issuer”), a Maryland corporation. It amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by Annaly Capital Management, Inc. (“Annaly”) on November 30, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on November 7, 2008, Amendment No. 2, filed on April 22, 2009, and Amendment No. 3, filed on June 3, 2009.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 is amended and supplemented as follows:
Annaly has not acquired or disposed of any common stock of the Issuer since June 3, 2009, when Annaly filed Amendment No. 3 to this Schedule 13D. However, between that date and the date of this Amendment No. 4, the number of outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock has increased from 665,601,769 shares (as of June 2, 2009) to 1,027,509,949 shares as of June 30, 2014. As a result, the 44,982,765 shares of common stock of the Issuer that Annaly owns represent only 4.38% of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock. Based on information regarding the Issuer’s outstanding shares contained in reports filed by the Issuer under the Securities Exchange Act, Annaly has not been the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares since November 8, 2010, and, as a consequence of this, will not be filing any further amendments to this Schedule 13D.
SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and correct.
