Fee Offset Claims   MFA Financial, Inc.   S-3ASR   333-234218   October 15, 2019     $ 1,741 (2)    Equity   Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share     2,014,463   $ 7,787

(1) The registration fee is calculated in accordance with Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), estimate based on the high and low prices of the registrant’s common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on September 26, 2022.

 

(2) The registrant previously paid registration fees of $8,698 associated with registration of an offering of 9,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-234218), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 15, 2019 and automatically effective upon filing (the “2019 Registration Statement”). On April 4, 2022, the registrant completed a 1-for-4 reverse stock split, and, as of the date hereof, 2,014,463 shares remained unsold under the 2019 Registration Statement and a registration fee of $7,787 was associated with such unsold shares (the “Unused Fee Amount”). The offering pursuant to the 2019 Registration Statement has terminated. The registrant did not make a contemporaneous fee payment in connection with filing the 2019 Registration Supplement as the total registration fee then due of $8,698 was fully offset by fees previously paid in connection with the offering registered pursuant to the registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-213678), filed with the SEC on September 16, 2016 and automatically effective upon filing (the “2016 Registration Statement”). The registrant made a contemporaneous fee payment of $4,294 in connection with filing the 2016 Registration Supplement as the remainder of total registration fee then due of $11,351.41 was fully offset by fees previously paid in connection the offering registered pursuant to the registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-190489), filed with the SEC on August 8, 2013 and automatically effective upon filing (the “2013 Registration Statement”). The registrant made a contemporaneous fee payment of $13,698 in connection with filing the 2013 Registration Statement.

 

Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, $1,741 of the Unused Fee Amount is being applied to the filing fees payable in connection with the offering pursuant to this registration statement and $6,046 of the Unused Fee Amount remains available to be applied to the filing fees payable in connection with future offerings by the registrant.
