Thornburg Faces SEC Scrutiny

By letter dated April 4, 2008, the Company received a notice from the SEC that it is conducting an investigation relating to the restatement of the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year 2007, margin calls that the Company received (or which were threatened) pursuant to its reverse repurchase agreements and related disclosures, and the valuation, impairment and/or disclosures concerning the accounting treatment for the Company’s mortgage-backed securities addressed in the restatement. The SEC’s notice states that it has not determined that any violations of the securities laws have occurred. The Company is cooperating with the SEC on a voluntary basis.

By letter dated March 6, 2008, the Company received notice from the NYSE that it is reviewing transactions in the Common Stock prior to the Company’s January 9, 2008 disclosure of the impact of recent market events in the mortgage industry on the Company’s GAAP book value. The Company is cooperating with the NYSE on a voluntary basis.
