Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On June 30, 2020, Anworth Mortgage Asset Corporation ("Anworth") announced that in accordance with the terms of Anworth's 6.25% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), the conversion rate of the Series B Preferred Stock has increased from 5.8327 shares of Anworth's common stock to 6.0021 shares of its common stock effective July 1, 2020.

As previously announced on June 16, 2020, the Board of Directors of Anworth declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.05 per share, which is payable on July 29, 2020 to holders of record of Anworth's common stock as of the close of business on June 30, 2020. 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 has increased from 5.8327 shares of Anworth's common stock to 6.0021 shares of its common stock effective July 1, 2020.
