The Company is managed by ACM, pursuant to a management agreement (see also Note 13 - Related Party Transactions). The management agreement entitles ACM to receive management fees payable monthly in arrears. Currently, the monthly management fee is 1/12th of the sum of (a) 1.5% of gross equity raised up to $1.0 billion plus (b) 0.75% of gross equity raised in excess of $1.0 billion. Gross equity raised includes the total amounts of paid in capital relating to both our common and preferred stock, before deduction of brokerage commissions and other costs of capital raising. Amounts paid to stockholders to repurchase stock, before deduction of brokerage commissions and costs, reduces gross equity raised. Dividends specifically designated by the Board as liquidation dividends will reduce the amount of gross equity raised. To date, the Board has not so designated any of the dividends paid by the Company. Realized and unrealized gains and losses do not affect the amount of gross equity raised. At June 30, 2026, the effective management fee was 0.88%, based on gross equity raised of $5,812,714.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, ACM voluntarily waived management fees of $1,650 and $3,300, respectively. On December 22, 2025, ACM notified ARMOUR that they were terminating the voluntarily waiver. The termination of the waiver was effective for the contractual management fee that became due and payable after February 1, 2026 (relating to services for the month of January 2026). This waiver did not constitute a waiver of any other amounts due to ACM from ARMOUR under the management agreement or otherwise, including but not limited to any expense reimbursements, any amounts calculated by reference to the contractual Base Management Fee, or any awards under the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”).

On March 30, 2026, the Company extended the contractual term of the management agreement through March 31, 2033. Based on the management fee base, gross equity raised, as of June 30, 2026, the Company’s contractual management fee commitments are:

The Company cannot voluntarily terminate the management agreement without cause before the expiration of its contractual term. If the management agreement is terminated in connection with a liquidation of the Company or certain business combination transactions, the Company is obliged to pay ACM a termination fee equal to 4 times the contractual management fee (before any waiver) for the preceding 12 months.

We enter into certain contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications, principally with ACM and underwriters, against third-party claims for errors and omissions in connection with their services to us. We have not incurred any costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the estimated fair value of these agreements, as well as the maximum amount attributable to past events, is not material. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
