Ellington Financial completed the sale of investments tied to mortgage servicing rights to an unaffiliated third party under an agreement dated November 6, 2026. The sale covered interests in entities holding forward mortgage servicing rights-related investments and excess servicing spread investments associated with specified forward mortgage portfolios, and the portfolio sold above its September 30, 2026, carrying value. The transaction freed more than $75 million in cash and completed the monetization of all material assets acquired through the December 2023 acquisition of Arlington Asset Investment.
