Item 8.01 Other Events.
Ellington Residential Mortgage REIT's (the "Company") estimated book value per common share as of May 31, 2021 was $12.96. This estimate is subject to change and any such change could be material. The Company's registered independent public accountants have not performed the types of reviews or audits of its estimated book value per common share as of May 31, 2021 that they would perform for its quarterly or annual financial statements. It is possible that, if the Company were to undertake a more comprehensive valuation analysis and/or obtain a review or audit from its accountants for the book value estimate set forth above, the Company could determine that its actual book value per common share as of May 31, 2021 differs materially from the estimate set forth above. Further, the Company's results can fluctuate from month to month depending on a variety of factors, some of which are beyond its control and/or difficult to predict, including, without limitation, changes in interest rates, changes in default rates and prepayment speeds, and other changes in market and economic conditions, or the perception that such changes may occur. There can be no assurance that the Company's estimated book value per common share as of May 31, 2021 is indicative of what its results are likely to be as of and for the three- or six-month periods ending June 30, 2021, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise its estimated book value per common share prior to the Company's issuance of financial statements for such three- and six-month periods.
The estimated book value per common share has been prepared by, and is the responsibility of, our management. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to this data. Accordingly, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.
