On May 1, 2009, TMST, Inc., formerly known as Thornburg Mortgage, Inc. and its subsidiaries filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland (Jointly Administered under Case No. 09-17787). By Order of the Bankruptcy Court dated October 28, 2009, a Chapter 11 Trustee was appointed. The Trustee is in the process of winding up the affairs of TMST and its subsidiaries and liquidating all of their remaining assets and claims for the benefit of creditors and equity holders. TMST and its subsidiaries have discontinued all other operations.

All of the pleadings, operating reports, claims and other information pertinent to the bankruptcy cases may be reviewed by going to the following sites:

TMST did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. As a result TMST is not "current" in our public information for purposes of Rule 144. However, the Chapter 11 Trustee is filing all Monthly Operating Reports required by the Bankruptcy Code, and those reports may be viewed by going to the above sites.
