Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 12, 2016, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) adopted a final rule (the “FHFA Final Rule”) revising its regulations governing Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) membership. The FHFA Final Rule requires FHLB-Indianapolis, the bank that admitted Five Oaks Investment Corp.’s (the “Company”) wholly owned “captive” insurance company, Five Oaks Insurance LLC (“FOI”), as a member on February 24, 2015, to wind down and settle its transactions with FOI, as well as to terminate the membership of FOI in FHLB-Indianapolis no later than one year after the effective date of the FHFA Final Rule.
FOI currently has $49,697,000 of advances from FHLB-Indianapolis, collateralized solely by Agency securities. Such amount represented 8.8% of the Company’s total financings as of January 12, 2016. FOI’s capital stock investment in FHLB-Indianapolis that will be paid to FOI upon the redemption of its membership interest is $2,403,000.
The information disclosed under this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
