ANWORTH MORTGAGE ASSET CORPORATION (NYSE:ANH) Files An 8-K Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

Item 3.03

On June 30, 2017, Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation (Anworth)
announced that, in accordance with the terms of Anworths 6.25%
Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series B
Preferred Stock), the conversion rate of the Series B Preferred
Stock will increase from 4.8469 shares of Anworths common stock
to 4.8804 shares of its common stock effective July 3, 2017.

As previously announced on June 15, 2017, the board of directors
of Anworth declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.15
per share, which is payable on July 28, 2017 to holders of record
of Anworths common stock as of the close of business on June 30,
2017. When Anworth pays a cash dividend during any quarterly
fiscal period to its holders of common stock in an amount that
results in an annualized common stock dividend yield greater than
6.25% (the dividend yield on the Series B Preferred Stock), the
conversion rate on the Series B Preferred Stock is adjusted based
on a formula specified in the Articles Supplementary Establishing
and Fixing the Rights and Preferences of the Series B Preferred
Stock. As a result of this dividend, the conversion rate of the
Series B Preferred Stock will increase from 4.8469 shares of
Anworths common stock to 4.8804 shares of its common stock
effective July 3, 2017.

On June 30, 2017, Anworth issued a press release (the Press
Release) announcing that in accordance with the terms of Anworths
6.25% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B
Preferred Stock), the conversion rate of the Series B Preferred
Stock will increase from 4.8469 shares of Anworths common stock
to 4.8804 shares of its common stock effective July 3, 2017.

A copy of the Press Release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K.

As discussed therein, the Press Release contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and, as such, may involve
