On December 29, 2008, Impac Mortgage Holding, Inc. (the “Company”) filed Articles of Amendment to its charter with the Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland to effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock (“Amendment No. 1”) and to reduce the common stock’s par value subsequent to the reverse stock split (“Amendment No. 2”).   Pursuant to Amendment No. 1, which became effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on December 30, 2008, every ten shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 1 were combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.10 per share. No fractional shares of common stock of the Company were issued upon the effectiveness of Amendment No. 1. Any fractional shares that would otherwise result from the reverse stock split were eliminated by rounding each fraction up to the nearest whole share.

 

Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, which become effective at 12:02 a.m., Eastern Standard Time, on December 30, 2008, the par value of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 2 was decreased from $0.10 per share to $0.01 per share.

 

As of December 30, 2008, the Company’s common stock began being quoted on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number - 45254P 508.
