“Economic book value” is a non-GAAP financial measure of our financial position. To calculate our economic book value, the portions of our non-recourse financing obligation held at amortized cost are adjusted to fair value. These adjustments are also reflected in the table below in our end of period total stockholders’ equity. Management considers economic book value to provide investors with a useful supplemental measure to evaluate our financial position as it reflects the impact of fair value changes for our legally held retained bonds, irrespective of the accounting model applied for GAAP reporting purposes. Economic book value does not represent and should not be considered as a substitute for book value per share of common stock or stockholders’ equity, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and our calculation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation from GAAP total stockholders’ equity and book value per share of common stock to economic book value and economic book value per share of common stock as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $9.0 million and $7.4 million, respectively. Net interest income increased in the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to higher net interest income from our residential mortgage loans portfolio (residential mortgage loan interest income less notes payable interest expense) during the three months ended September 30, 2024 . We observed net interest income associated with our residential mortgage loan portfolio of $1.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $0.1 million in the comparable period of 2023. This was primarily driven by an increase in the weighted average coupon rate of our residential mortgage loans portfolio versus the comparative period, as well as holding more unlevered loans, resulting in a proportionally lower notes payable balance.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net resulted in gains of $28.8 million and $5.3 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, gains on securitization, net of unrealized gain (loss) on non-recourse securitization obligation drove the majority of the overall gain to our portfolio as valuations increased during the quarter. Similarly, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 gains on securitization, net of unrealized gain (loss) on non-recourse securitization obligation drove the majority of the overall gain to our portfolio as well.
Expenses
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our operating expenses were $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Our operating expenses decreased slightly compared to the comparative period due to continued cost savings actions such as in-sourcing of key accounting functions, vendor contract negotiations, and a decrease in servicing fees associated with servicing our whole loan portfolio.
Operating Expenses Incurred with Affiliate
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our operating expenses incurred with affiliate were $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. These expenses, which are substantially comprised of payroll reimbursements to our Manager, decreased slightly in the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 as a result of additional cost savings actions.
Due Diligence and Transaction Costs
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our due diligence and transaction costs were $254 thousand and $115 thousand, respectively. Our due diligence and transaction expenses increased over the comparative period due to increased purchases of whole loans during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Stock Compensation
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our stock compensation expense was $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Our stock compensation expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to an increase in the estimated impact for outstanding performance-based restricted stock unit awards.
Securitization Costs
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred $0.0 million and $0.4 million of securitization costs, respectively. There was no securitization activity in the third quarter of 2024, and the securitization costs in the comparative period in 2023 were driven by our participation in the AOMT 2023-5 securitization.
33
Management Fee Incurred with Affiliate
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our management fee incurred with affiliate was $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The decrease is due to the decrease in our average Equity as defined in the Management Agreement for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. A key driver of the decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2024 versus the comparative period of 2023 is the repurchase of 1,707,922 million shares of our common stock owned by Xylem Finance, LLC, an affiliate of Davidson Kempner Capital Management, LP, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $20 million. The calculation of Equity for the purposes of the Management Agreement includes the addition of Distributable Earnings, which is the primary departure from the calculation of equity in accordance with GAAP.

We observed net interest income associated with our residential mortgage loan portfolio of $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a loss of $(2.8) million in the comparable period of 2023.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, total realized and unrealized gains (losses), net resulted in a net gain of $34 million and a loss of $0.8 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, gains on residential mortgage loans in securitization trust, net of unrealized gain (loss) on non-recourse securitization obligation, residential mortgage loans, TBAs, and interest rate futures were offset by losses on RMBS and whole pool agency RMBS. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, market volatility caused the valuation of our residential mortgage loans in securitization trust and whole pool agency RMBS to decrease, which was offset by gains in our residential mortgage loans portfolio and interest rate futures.
Expenses
Operating Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our operating expenses were $4.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Our operating expenses decreased during the comparative period due to continued cost savings actions such as in-sourcing of key accounting functions, vendor contract negotiations, and a decrease in servicing fees associated with servicing our whole loan portfolio.
Operating Expenses Incurred with Affiliate
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our operating expenses incurred with affiliate were $1.44 million and $1.7 million, respectively. These expenses, which are substantially comprised of payroll reimbursements to our Manager, decreased versus the comparative period as a result of additional cost savings actions.
Due Diligence and Transaction Costs
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our due diligence and transaction costs were $663 thousand and $136 thousand, respectively. Our due diligence and transaction expenses increased versus the comparative period as we purchased more whole loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 than the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Stock Compensation
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 our stock compensation expense was $1.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Stock compensation expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to an increase in the estimated impact for outstanding performance-based restricted stock unit awards.
36
Securitization Costs
Securitization costs of $1.6 million were incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 in connection with the AOMT 2024-3, AOMT 2024-4, and AOMT 2024-6 securitization transactions. There were $2.3 million of securitization costs incurred for the comparable period in 2023, representing costs incurred in connection with the AOMT 2023-1, AOMT 2023-4, and AOMT 2023-5 securitizations.
Management Fee Incurred with Affiliate
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, our management fee incurred with affiliate was $3.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The decrease is due to the decrease in our average Equity as defined in the Management Agreement for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. A key driver of the decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 versus the comparative period of 2023 is the repurchase of 1,707,922 million shares of our common stock owned by Xylem Finance, LLC, an affiliate of Davidson Kempner Capital Management, LP, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $20 million. The calculation of Equity for the purposes of the Management Agreement includes the addition of Distributable Earnings, which is the primary departure from the calculation of equity in accordance with GAAP.

Our Portfolio
As of September 30, 2024, our portfolio consisted of approximately $2.2 billion of residential mortgage loans, RMBS, and other target assets. Certain of these portfolio assets are located in states such as Florida and California where natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes may occasionally occur. We require all of our collateral to be adequately insured. The graphs in the subsequent detail of residential mortgage loans, residential mortgage loans held in securitization trusts, and residential mortgage loans underlying RMBS issuances show the percentage of residential mortgage loans held in each state where there is a concentration of loans.

RMBS
We have participated in numerous securitization transactions pursuant to which we contributed to a securitization trust under the purview of AOMT I, LLC, non‑QM loans that we had accumulated and held on our balance sheet. These loans were purchased from affiliated and unaffiliated entities. In return, we received bonds from these securitization trusts, and cash. At times, we were allocated certain risk retention securities as part of these transactions. Risk retention securities represent at least 5% of a horizontal or vertical slice of the bonds issued as part of the transaction.
Certain information regarding the mortgage loans underlying our portfolio of RMBS issued in such securitization transactions is set forth below as of September 30, 2024:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund our investments and operating costs, make distributions to our stockholders, and satisfy other general business needs. Our financing sources currently include payments of principal and interest we receive on our investment portfolio, unused borrowing capacity under our in‑place loan financing lines and repurchase facilities, securitizations of our whole loans, and our ATM Program (as defined below). Additionally, on July 25, 2024, we closed an underwritten public offering and sale of, and issued, $50 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9.500% Senior Notes due 2029. We have deployed the majority of the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which included the acquisition of non-QM loans and other target assets primarily sourced from our affiliated proprietary mortgage lending platform and other target assets through the secondary market in a manner consistent with our strategy and investment guidelines. Additionally, we used the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to repurchase 1,707,922 shares of our common stock owned by Xylem Finance LLC, an affiliate of Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $20.0 million. See “—Trends and Recent Developments—Notes offering” in this report. Our financing sources historically have included the foregoing, as well as capital contributions from our investors prior to our IPO, and the proceeds from our IPO and concurrent private placement (which capital has all been deployed). Going forward, we may also utilize other types of borrowings, including bank credit facilities and warehouse lines of credit, among others. We may also seek to raise additional capital through public or private offerings of equity, equity-related, or debt securities, depending upon market conditions. The use of any particular source of capital and funds will depend on market conditions, availability of these sources, and the investment opportunities available to us.
We have used and expect to continue to use loan financing lines to finance the acquisition and accumulation of mortgage loans or other mortgage‑related assets pending their eventual securitization. Upon accumulating an appropriate amount of assets, we have financed and expect to continue to finance a substantial portion of our mortgage loans utilizing fixed-rate term securitization funding that provides long‑term financing for our mortgage loans and locks in our cost of funding, regardless of future interest rate movements.
Securitizations may either take the form of the issuance of securitized bonds or the sale of “real estate mortgage investment conduit” securities backed by mortgage loans or other assets, with the securitization proceeds being used in part to repay pre-existing loan financing lines and repurchase facilities. We have sponsored and participated in securitization transactions with other entities that are managed by Angel Oak, and may continue to do so in the future, along with sponsoring sole securitization transactions.
We believe these identified sources of financing will be adequate for purposes of meeting our short‑term (within one year) and our longer‑term liquidity needs. We cannot predict with certainty the specific transactions we will undertake to generate sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due. We will adjust our plans as appropriate in response to changes in our expectations and any potential changes in market conditions.

Description of Existing Financing Arrangements
As of September 30, 2024, we were a party to three warehouse loan financing lines, which permitted borrowings in an aggregate amount of up to $1.1 billion. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we renewed our loan financing facility with Multinational Bank 1 in accordance with the mechanism for six-month renewal periods. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we (i) amended our loan financing facility with Global Investment Bank 2 to, among other changes, reduce the interest rate pricing spread to a range from 1.75% to 3.35% and (ii) amended our loan financing facility with Global Investment Bank 3 to, among other changes, extend the termination date to (a) November 1, 2025; (b) reduce the interest rate pricing spread to a range from 1.90% to 4.75% based on collateral type, loan status, dwell time and other factors; and (c) eliminate the 20 basis point index spread adjustment. Borrowings under warehouse loan financing lines (in general, each a “loan financing facility”) may be used to purchase whole loans for securitization or loans purchased for long‑term investment purposes.
Our financing facilities are generally subject to limits on borrowings related to specific asset pools (“advance rates”) and other restrictive covenants, as is usual and customary. As of September 30, 2024, the advance rates (when required) of our three active lenders ranged from 65% to 92%, depending on the asset type and loan delinquency status. Our most restrictive covenants (when covenants are required by any of our three active lenders) included (1) our minimum tangible net worth must not (i) decline 20% or more in the previous 30 days, 25% or more in the previous 90 days, or 35% or more in the previous year, or (ii) fall below $200.0 million of tangible net worth as of September 30, 2022 plus 50% of any capital contribution made or raised after September 30, 2022; (2) our minimum liquidity must not fall below the greatest of (i) the product of 5% and the aggregate repurchase price for a specific loan financing facility as of such date of determination, (ii) $10.0 million and (iii) any other amount of liquidity that we have covenanted to maintain in any other note, indenture, loan agreement, guaranty, swap agreement or any other contract, agreement or transaction (including, without limitation, any repurchase agreement, loan and security agreement, or similar credit facility or agreement for borrowed funds); and (3) the maximum ratio of our and our subsidiaries’ total indebtedness to tangible net worth must not be greater than 5:1. Our minimum liquidity requirement as of September 30, 2024 was $10.0 million.
A description of each loan financing facility in place during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 is set forth as follows:
Multinational Bank 1 Loan Financing Facility. On April 13, 2022, we and two of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a multinational bank (“Multinational Bank 1”). Our subsidiaries are each considered a “Seller” under this agreement. From time to time and pursuant to the agreement, either of our subsidiaries may sell to Multinational Bank 1, and later repurchase, up to $600.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans.
Pursuant to the terms of the master repurchase agreement, the agreement may be renewed every three months for a maximum six-month term. As of September 30, 2024, the termination date of the master repurchase agreement was March 25, 2025.
The amount expected to be paid by Multinational Bank 1 for each eligible mortgage loan is based on an advance rate as a percentage of either the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan or the market value of the mortgage loan, whichever is less. Pursuant to the agreement, Multinational Bank 1 retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loans in its sole commercially reasonable discretion. The loan financing line is marked‑to‑market. Additionally, Multinational Bank 1 is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offer to sell to them. The interest rate on any outstanding balance under the master repurchase agreement that the applicable subsidiary is required to pay Multinational Bank 1 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 generally ranging from 1.75% to 2.10% and (2) the average SOFR for each U.S. Government Securities Business Day (as defined in the master repurchase agreement) until two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to the date the applicable loan is repurchased by the applicable subsidiary.
The obligations of the subsidiaries under the master repurchase agreement are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty executed contemporaneously with the master repurchase agreement. In addition, and similar to other repurchase agreements that the Company has entered into, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including those relating to (1) maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth; (2) a maximum ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth; and (3) minimum liquidity.
The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Multinational Bank 1 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Multinational Bank 1 may require us or our subsidiaries to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.
In addition, the agreement contains 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, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings 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 principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Multinational Bank 1’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.
We and our subsidiaries are also required to pay certain customary fees to Multinational Bank 1 and to reimburse Multinational Bank 1 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with its structuring, management, and ongoing administration of the master repurchase agreement.
Global Investment Bank 2 Loan Financing Facility. On March 28, 2024, two of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a global investment bank (“Global Investment Bank 2”), replacing the existing master repurchase agreement with Global
53
Investment Bank 2 entered into on February 13, 2020. Our two subsidiaries are each considered a “Seller” under this agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, one of our subsidiaries may sell to Global Investment Bank 2, and later repurchase, up to $250.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans. The agreement is set to terminate on March 27, 2026, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
The principal amount paid by Global Investment Bank 2 for each mortgage loan is based on a percentage of the market value, cost‑basis value, or unpaid principal balance of the mortgage loan (depending on the type of loan and certain other factors and subject to certain other adjustments). Pursuant to the agreement, Global Investment Bank 2 retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole good faith discretion. Additionally, Global Investment Bank 2 is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offer to sell to them. Upon our or our subsidiary’s repurchase of the mortgage loan, our subsidiaries are required to repay Global Investment Bank 2 the principal amount related to such mortgage loan plus accrued and unpaid interest at a rate based on the sum of (1) the greater of (A) the greater of (i) 0.00% and (ii) Term SOFR (which is defined as the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate for a corresponding tenor of one month) and (B) a pricing spread generally ranging from, as of October 25, 2024, 1.75% to 3.35%.
The obligations of the subsidiaries under the master repurchase agreement are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to a guaranty executed contemporaneously with the master repurchase agreement. In addition, and similar to other repurchase agreements that the Company has entered into, the Company is subject to various financial and other covenants, including those relating to (1) maintenance of a minimum tangible net worth; (2) a maximum ratio of indebtedness to tangible net worth; and (3) minimum liquidity.
The agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Global Investment Bank 2 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value or cost‑basis value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under these provisions, Global Investment Bank 2 may require us or our subsidiary to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.
In addition, the agreement contains 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, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings 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 principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Global Investment Bank 2’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.
We and our subsidiary are also required to pay certain customary fees to Global Investment Bank 2 and to reimburse Global Investment Bank 2 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with its structuring, management and ongoing administration of the agreement.
Global Investment Bank 3 Loan Financing Facility. On October 24, 2018, two of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a global investment bank (“Global Investment Bank 3”) for which we serve as guarantor of our subsidiaries’ obligations. Our subsidiaries are each considered a “Seller” under this agreement. Pursuant to the initial agreement, our subsidiaries could sell to Global Investment Bank 3, and later repurchase, up to $200.0 million aggregate borrowings on mortgage loans, although Global Investment Bank 3 was under no obligation to purchase the loans our subsidiaries offered to sell to them.
On January 1, 2022, the facility was amended to transition the reference rate from a LIBOR-based index to Compound SOFR. Compound SOFR is determined on a one-month basis and is defined as a daily rate as determined by Global Investment Bank 3 to be the “USD-SOFR-Compound” rate as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. definitions.
On November 7, 2023, the facility’s termination date was extended to November 7, 2024. In addition, the base interest rate spread was reduced to 1.80% plus a 0.20% index spread adjustment. The advance rate for performing non-seasoned loans was increased to 85%.
On November 1, 2024, the facility’s termination date was extended to November 1, 2025. In addition, the base interest rate spread was reduced to a range from 1.90% to 4.75% and the index spread adjustment of 0.20% was eliminated.
The loan financing line is marked-to-market at fair value, where Global Investment Bank 3 retains the right to determine the market value of the mortgage loan collateral in its sole and good faith discretion and in a commercially reasonable manner and is under no obligation to purchase the eligible mortgage loans we offered to sell to them. Further, the principal amount paid by Global Investment Bank 3 for each eligible mortgage loan is based on a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan or the market value of the mortgage loan, whichever is less.
The Agreement contains margin call provisions that provide Global Investment Bank 3 with certain rights in the event of a decline in the market value of the purchased mortgage loans. Under those provisions, Global Investment Bank 3 could require us or our subsidiaries to transfer cash sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit resulting from such a decline.
The agreement requires us to maintain various financial and other customary covenants. The agreement also sets forth 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, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings 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 principal amount outstanding under the agreement and Global Investment Bank 3’s right to liquidate the mortgage loans then subject to the agreement.
54
We and our subsidiaries are also required to pay certain customary fees to Global Investment Bank 3 and to reimburse Global Investment Bank 3 for certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with its structuring, management, and ongoing administration of the agreement.
Institutional Investors A and B Static Loan Pool Financing. On October 4, 2022, the Company and a subsidiary entered into two separate master repurchase facilities with two affiliates of an institutional investor (“Institutional Investors A and B”) regarding a specific pool of whole loans with financing of approximately $168.7 million on approximately $239.3 million of unpaid principal balance. The Company repaid these financing facilities in full on January 4, 2023, at which time the facilities were terminated pursuant to their terms.
Regional Bank 1 Loan Financing Facility. On December 21, 2018, we and one of our subsidiaries entered into a master repurchase agreement with a regional bank (“Regional Bank 1”). This financing facility was substantially unused, and expired by its terms on March 16, 2023.

We utilize short‑term repurchase facilities on our RMBS portfolio and to finance assets for REIT asset test purposes. Over time, the need to purchase securities for REIT asset test purposes will be reduced as we obtain and participate in additional securitizations and acquire assets directly for investment purposes. We will continue to use repurchase facilities on our RMBS portfolio to add additional leverage which increases the yield on those assets. Our use of repurchase facilities is generally highest at the end of any particular quarter, as shown in the table above, where the quarter-end balance and the highest month-end balance in each quarter are generally equivalent.
Securitization Transactions
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, in October 2024, we were the sole participant in asecuritization transaction of a pool of residential mortgage loans, secured exclusively by first liens on one‑to‑four family residential properties. In the transaction, AOMT 2024-10 issued approximately $316.8 million in face value of bonds. We used the proceeds of the securitization transaction to repay outstanding debt of approximately $260.4 million and retained cash of $39.4 million, which was used for new loan purchases and operational purposes.
We are the sole member of the Depositor and also own and hold the call rights on the XS tranche of bonds, which is the “controlling class” of the bonds. We will consolidate the AOMT 2024-10 securitization on our consolidated balance sheet, maintaining the residential mortgage loans held in the securitization trust and the related financing obligation thereto on our consolidated balance sheets in future reporting periods.

We finance our assets with what we believe to be a prudent amount of leverage, which will vary from time to time based upon the particular characteristics of our portfolio, availability of financing, and market conditions.
Subject to maintaining our qualification as a REIT and maintaining our exclusion from regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we expect to utilize various derivative instruments and other hedging instruments to mitigate interest rate risk, credit risk and other risks. For example, we may enter into hedging transactions with respect to interest rate exposure on one or more of our assets or liabilities. Any such hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including the use of derivative instruments such as interest rate swap contracts, index swap contracts, interest rate cap or floor contracts, futures or forward contracts, and options.
Notes Offering
On July 25, 2024, we closed an underwritten public offering and sale of, and issued, $50 million in aggregate principal amount of our 9.500% Senior Notes due 2029. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.500% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 30, April 30, July 30 and October 30 of each year, commencing on October 30, 2024. The Notes will mature on July 30, 2029, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased by us. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Operating Partnership, including the due and punctual payment of principal of premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, whether at the stated maturity, upon, acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise. We may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time or from time to time at our option on or after July 30, 2026 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon the occurrence of certain events relating to a change of control of us, we must make an offer to repurchase all outstanding Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

On August 8, 2024, the Company entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) to sell shares of the Company’s common stock (“common stock”) from time to time having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $75 million, through an “at the market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). The Company issued and sold 188,456 shares of common stock through the ATM Program during the three-months and nine-months ended September 30, 2024 for net proceeds of $2.3 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $73 million of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ATM Program and Sales Agreement.
Cash Availability
Cash and cash equivalents
Our cash balance as of September 30, 2024 was sufficient to meet our liquidity covenants under our financing facilities. We believe that we maintain sufficient cash to fund margin calls on our mark to market financing facilities or our economic hedge agreements, should such margin calls occur.
We may also participate in upcoming securitizations either solely or with other Angel Oak entities. We also have the ability to leverage currently unleveraged securities or whole loan assets, if we deem those actions advisable.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash of approximately $2.7 million as of September 30, 2024 was comprised of: no margin collateral held in support of our whole pool assets; $2.3 million in interest rate futures margin collateral for the interest rate futures under our sole control; and margin collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase of$0.3 million.
Restricted cash of approximately $2.9 million as of December 31, 2023 was comprised of: $2.5 million in interest rate futures margin collateral; and margin collateral for securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $0.3 million. Our counterparties did not require any margin collateral for TBAs as of December 31, 2023.

The cash used in operating activities of $196.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the cash provided by operating activities of $353.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the volume of residential mortgage loans sold into an affiliate’s securitization trust during the first nine months of 2023, as compared to the first nine months of 2024.
The cash provided by investing activities of $86.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $179.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to the timing of purchases and maturities of U.S. Treasury securities in the comparative period of 2023.
Financing cash flows provided $110.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to cash used of $171.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to the activity within net borrowings under repurchase agreements and notes payable for the comparative periods.
Cash Flows - Residential and Commercial Loan Classification
Residential loan activity is recognized in the statement of cash flows as an operating activity, as our residential mortgage loans are generally held for a short period of time with the intent to securitize these loans. Commercial mortgage loan activity is recognized in the statement of cash flows as an investing activity, as our commercial mortgage loan portfolio is generally deemed to be held for investing purposes.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates is included in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” section in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not materially changed since December 31, 2023. Management discusses the ongoing development and selection of these critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
We expect quarter-to-quarter GAAP earnings volatility from our business activities. This volatility can occur for a variety of reasons, particularly changes in the fair values of consolidated assets and liabilities. In addition, the amount or timing of our reported earnings may be impacted by technical accounting issues and estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and any expected impact on the Company.
