The preferred stock ranks junior to indebtedness; at June 30, 2025 approximately $9.9 billion of liabilities ranked senior to the preferred stock.

MFA Financial, Inc. has established an "at the market" distribution program to sell up to $300,000,000 of common stock through a syndicate of major broker-dealers. The company may sell shares from time to time at prevailing market or negotiated prices, and sales agents will receive 1.0% of the gross sales price as compensation. MFA's common stock trades on the NYSE under MFA and last reported sale price was $9.72 on August 14, 2025. The prospectus supplement reiterates MFA's business focus on leveraged investments in residential mortgage assets and discloses June 30, 2025 total assets of approximately $11.7 billion, including ~$8.8 billion (76%) in residential whole loans and ~$1.8 billion (16%) in securities.

MFA Financial, Inc. is a specialty finance REIT that invests in and finances residential mortgage assets, including whole loans, mortgage-backed securities and related investments. At June 30, 2025, the company reported approximately $11.7 billion of total assets, of which about $8.8 billion (75%) were residential whole loans and about $1.8 billion (15%) were investments in securities such as Agency MBS, CRT securities and Non-Agency MBS. The company operates an originations and servicing platform through its wholly owned subsidiary, Lima One, which focuses on business purpose loans for real estate investors. MFA has elected REIT status and maintains charter ownership restrictions to preserve that qualification. This prospectus registers a shelf of equity, preferred, depositary shares, warrants, debt, rights and units for future offerings.

Form 8-K filed by MFA Financial, Inc. dated August 6, 2025. The filing states MFA furnished a press release (Exhibit 99.1) announcing financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and additional information relating to those results (Exhibit 99.2).

The filing expressly notes the exhibits are being "furnished" not "filed" for purposes of Exchange Act Section 18 and will not be incorporated by reference into registration statements except as expressly stated. The press release contains forward-looking statements subject to risks and qualifications referenced in MFA's SEC filings.

Signed: Harold E. Schwartz, Senior Vice President and General Counsel, dated August 6, 2025.

Schedule 13G/A (Amendment 1) shows that institutional investor Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. and its general partner have fully exited their position in MFA Financial (MFA) common stock as of 30 Jun 2025. Both entities now report 0 shares held, equating to 0 % of the outstanding class, with no voting or dispositive power remaining.

The filing is made under Rule 13d-1(b) because Vaughan Nelson is registered as an investment adviser (IA) and its parent is classified as a holding company (HC). Certification states the shares were held in the ordinary course of business and not for the purpose of influencing control. By falling below the 5 % threshold, the filer is obliged to disclose its reduced ownership and may have satisfied its future reporting requirements unless it re-accumulates shares.

Key implications: the departure of a former 5 %+ passive holder modestly reduces MFA鈥檚 institutional ownership base. However, there is no indication of activist intent, control issues, or direct operational impact on the issuer.
