Arlington Shareholders Re-Elected Its Board of Directors

Arlington Asset Investment Corp. announced that, based on the preliminary vote count provided by its proxy solicitor following the company’s 2016 annual meeting of shareholders, shareholders have overwhelmingly voted to elect all of Arlington’s director nominees – Eric F. Billings, J. Rock Tonkel, Jr., Daniel J. Altobello, Daniel E. Berce, David W. Faeder, Peter A. Gallagher, Ralph S. Michael, III and Anthony P. Nader, III – to the Arlington board of directors.

J. Rock Tonkel, Jr., president and CEO, Arlington, said: “On behalf of our board of directors and management, we would like to thank our shareholders for their support throughout this process. Above all, our board and management team are focused on continuing to drive strong returns and value creation for all Arlington shareholders. We look forward to continuing to engage with our shareholders and appreciate their input.”

Preliminary results have also indicated that shareholders have voted to (1) ratify the appointment of the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2016 and (2) reject a shareholder proposal to amend the company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.

The company will file preliminary voting results with the SEC on a Form 8-K within four business days, and final voting results will be filed on a Form 8-K once they are certified by the independent inspector of elections.
