Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 9, 2005, Dynex Capital, Inc. ("Dynex"), MSC I, L.P., MERIT
Securities Corporation and Issued Holdings Capital Corporation (IHCC), all of
which are subsidiaries of Dynex (collectively, the "Company"), entered into a
purchase agreement with Highland Undertakings, LLC ("Highland") (the "Purchase
Agreement"). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold to Highland (or a
subsidiary of Highland) (i) the stock of a subsidiary, (ii) certain
securitization financing bonds that it owned, and (iii) the Company's right to
redeem one or more classes of securitization bonds that it has issued pursuant
to the terms of the respective indentures. In addition, IHCC and a subsidiary of
Highland entered into a derivative transaction whereby IHCC received a fixed
payment on or about the closing date of the Purchase Agreement and agreed to pay
to such subsidiary of Highland certain payments if and when certain funds become
available to the Company in the future. The payment by IHCC will be based on
amounts available for distribution to the surplus account as that term is
defined in the respective indenture for a particular securitization trust. The
aggregate purchase price under the Purchase Agreement was $9,000,000.
The Purchase Agreement contained representations and warranties and other
covenants and undertakings typical for a transaction of this nature.
