ITEM 1.01.           ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On February 20, 2015, Capstead Mortgage Corporation (the “Company”) amended its Amended and Restated 2014 Flexible Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to delete a sentence in Section 4.2 of the Plan (the “Amendment”), which allowed for forfeited shares to be re-issued under the Plan. As amended, the Plan will count the total number of shares initially awarded against the number of shares available for future awards under the Plan, thus eliminating so called “recycling” of forfeited shares. Because the Amendment curtails, rather than expands, the Plan, the board of directors of the Company has taken this action without requesting stockholder approval, consistent with the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5.02.           DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
