ANNUAL MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT
Annual Meeting To Be Held June 10, 2026
To the Stockholders of Chimera Investment Corporation:
It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Chimera Investment Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Chimera” or “the Company”), that will be held on June 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time.
This year’s Annual Meeting will once again be a virtual meeting held over the Internet. We believe that the use of the Internet to host the Annual Meeting enables expanded stockholder participation. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting, vote your shares electronically and submit your questions during the live webcast of the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CIM2026 and entering your 16-digit control number.
The accompanying Notice of the Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement tells you more about the agenda and procedures for the meeting. They also describe, among other things, how the Company’s Board of Directors operates and provide information about our director candidates, executive officer and director compensation and corporate governance. I look forward to sharing more information with you about Chimera at the Annual Meeting.
Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, I urge you to authorize your proxy as soon as possible. You may authorize your proxy on the Internet, by telephone, or by mail. Your vote will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting regardless of whether you attend via webcast on June 10, 2026.
Sincerely,
Phillip J. Kardis II
President and Chief Executive Officer

NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF CHIMERA INVESTMENT CORPORATION
| Time: | 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time | |
|---|---|---|
| Date: | Wednesday, June 10, 2026 | |
| Place: | Virtual meeting via webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/CIM2026 | |
| Purpose: | This year’s Annual Meeting will be held for the following purposes: | |
| ● | To elect three Class I Directors, Kevin G. Chavers, Gerard Creagh and Susan Mills, each to serve until our annual meeting of stockholders in 2029 and until their successors are duly elected and qualify; | |
| ● | To consider and vote upon a non-binding advisory resolution to approve our executive compensation; | |
| ● | To consider and vote upon the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2026; and | |
| ● | To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. | |
| Other Important Information: | ● | We utilize the “notice and access” model rather than mailing full sets of proxy materials to stockholders, as we think, among other things, the Company benefits from the reduced costs associated with this method of delivery. Thus, on or about April 23, 2026, we expect to commence mailing of a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which contains information regarding electronic access to our proxy materials and voting information. However, we will mail hard copies of the proxy materials to any stockholder who requests them. Our Proxy Statement and 2025 Annual Report are available at www.proxyvote.com. |
| ● | Record holders of our common stock at the close of business on April 9, 2026, may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. | |
| ● | Your shares cannot be voted unless they are represented by proxy or in person by the record holder attending the Annual Meeting via webcast. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting via webcast, please vote your shares by proxy to ensure they are represented at the Annual Meeting. |
By order of the Board of Directors,
Miyun Sung
Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary
Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholder Meeting to Be Held June 10, 2026. Our Proxy Statement and 2025 Annual Report to Stockholders are available at www.proxyvote.com.
