Other Events.

On March 21, 2016, ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. (“ARMOUR”) issued a press release announcing the final cash purchase price per share (the “Tender Offer Price”) of common stock (the “JAVELIN Common Stock”) of JAVELIN Mortgage Investment Corp. (“JAVELIN”) offered by ARMOUR pursuant to its previously announced offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase, through its newly formed subsidiary, JMI Acquisition Corporation (“Acquisition”), all of the shares of JAVELIN Common Stock.

The final Tender Offer Price is $7.18 per share of JAVELIN Common Stock, which is set forth in the press release. The final Tender Offer Price was determined as described in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 7, 2016 (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) that accompanies the Offer to Purchase.

A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The solicitation and the Tender Offer to buy shares of JAVELIN Common Stock may be made only pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of Transmittal and other related Tender Offer materials. The Tender Offer is made solely by the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal. ARMOUR has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, as amended and supplemented from time to time, that includes the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal and other documents relating to the Tender Offer. In addition, JAVELIN has filed with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, as amended and supplemented from time to time, that describes, among other things, the unanimous recommendation of JAVELIN’s board of directors that JAVELIN’s stockholders tender their shares in the Tender Offer. The documents filed with the SEC contain important information, and JAVELIN stockholders are urged to read them, all amendments and supplements thereto, and the exhibits to them in their entirety in connection with their decision whether to tender their shares. In addition, all of these materials (and all other materials filed by ARMOUR with the SEC) will be available at no charge from the SEC through its website at www.sec.gov. Free copies of the Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and other offering documents will be made available by ARMOUR when available at its website at www.armourreit.com. Investors and security holders may also obtain free copies of the documents filed with the SEC by JAVELIN when available at its website at www.javelinreit.com or by calling (888) 991-1294.
