Item 8.01                 Other Events.
 
 
On September 13, 2010, Dynex Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to redeem all 4,221,539 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series D 9.50% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”). In the redemption, which is expected to be completed on October 15, 2010, each holder of a share of Series D Preferred Stock will receive one share of the Company’s Common Stock. On September 15, 2010, the Company mailed the notice of redemption to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock. This redemption is taking place pursuant to provisions of the Company’s articles of incorporation, which provide for the redemption of the Series D Preferred Stock once the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock has equaled or exceeded $10.00 per share for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days. As of the close of the market on September 13, 2010, the Company’s Common Stock had closed at or above $10.00 per share for 20 out of the most recent 28 trading days, including September 13, 2010. The Company noted that based on its reported June 30, 2010 book value, the redemption will be modestly accretive to book value per common share and post-redemption, reported basic and diluted earnings per share for the Company will be essentially identical.
 
 
The Company previously announced a dividend on the Series D Preferred Stock payable for the third quarter of 2010 for which the record date is September 30, 2010 and the payment date is October 29, 2010. Because the redemption will not be effective until October, after the record date for the dividend, each of the holders of Series D Preferred Stock on September 30, 2010 will receive the announced preferred stock dividend of $0.25 per share on October 29, 2010 as if the Series D Preferred Stock were still outstanding. Shareholders will receive any future dividends declared and paid on the Common Stock of the Company to the extent they remain holders of Common Stock. For the third quarter of 2010, the Company declared a Common Stock dividend of $0.25 on the same record date and payment date terms as the Series D Preferred Stock.
