ANGEL OAK MORTGAGE, INC. : Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant, Financial Statements and Exhibits (form 8-K)

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 13, 2022, Angel Oak Mortgage, Inc. (the “Company”) as guarantor and two
of its subsidiaries (each a “Subsidiary” and together the “Subsidiaries”)
entered into a $340.0 million repurchase facility with Royal Bank of Canada
(“RBC”) through the execution of a Master Repurchase Agreement (the “Master
Repurchase Agreement”) between the Subsidiaries as sellers, RBC as buyer and the
Company as Guarantor. Pursuant to the Master Repurchase Agreement, the
Subsidiaries may sell certain whole loan assets to RBC and later repurchase such
whole loan assets from RBC. The Master Repurchase Agreement expires on October
13, 2022, unless terminated such term is extended or terminated earlier pursuant
to the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement.

The amount expected to be advanced by RBC is generally in line with other
similar agreements that the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries has
entered into, which is a percentage of the unpaid principal balance or market
value of the whole loan asset depending on the delinquency of the underlying
whole loan asset. Similarly, the interest rate on any outstanding balance under
the Master Repurchase Agreement that the applicable Subsidiary is required to
pay RBC is generally in line with other similar agreements that the Company or
one or more of its subsidiaries has entered into, where the interest rate is
equal to the sum of (1) a pricing spread and (2) the average SOFR for each U.S.
Government Securities Business Day beginning on April 11, 2022 and ending on the
day that is two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date the
whole loan asset is repurchased by the applicable Affiliate. Additionally, RBC
is under no obligation to purchase the whole loan assets we offer to sell to
them.

The obligations of the Subsidiaries under the Master Repurchase Agreement are
guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) executed
contemporaneously with the master Repurchase Agreement. In addition, and similar
to other repurchase agreements the Company has entered into, the Company is
subject to various financial and other covenants, including those related to (1)
tangible net worth; (2) a maximum ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth;
and (3) minimum liquidity.

In addition, the Master Repurchase Agreement and Guaranty contain events of
default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including
payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and
warranties, cross-defaults, insolvency and other events of default customary for
this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also
customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the
amounts outstanding under the Master Repurchase Agreement and RBC’s right to
liquidate the purchased whole loan assets then subject to the Master Repurchase
Agreement.

The Subsidiaries are also required to pay certain customary fees to RBC to
reimburse RBC for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with RBC’s
management and ongoing administration of the Master Repurchase Agreement and its
review of the whole loan assets subject to the Master Repurchase Agreement and
certain costs associated with early repurchases.

A copy of the Master Repurchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and
incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Guaranty is attached hereto as
Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
