Remarks
This Form 4 is being filed in connection with the distribution and/or conversion of Deferred Stock Units, including Performance Stock Units, to common stock under the Redwood Trust, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan. The Deferred Stock units referred to in this Form 4 were originally granted to the Reporting Person on May 18, 2010 and November 30, 2010 and vested over the subsequent four-year vesting period. Additionally a third grant of deferred stock units was fully vested on grant date of February 28, 2012 but was subject to a three-year holding period. The Performance Stock Units referred to in this Form 4 were originally granted to the Reporting Person on December 7, 2011 and vested, based on a designated Redwood Trust, Inc. performance-based vesting formula, after a three-year performance-based vesting period. The distribution and/or conversion of the stock units referred to herein gives rise to Federal and State income tax liability of the Reporting Person based on the number of stock units distributed and/or converted and the value of Redwood Trust, Inc. common stock on May 1, 2015. The two disposition transactions reported herein are related to: (i) the withholding of stock units by Redwood Trust, Inc. incident to the payment of a portion of such income tax liability and (ii) to address an additional portion of such income tax liability, the sale by the Reporting Person of a portion of the distributed common stock - where all of the proceeds of such sale are being remitted by the Reporting Person to Federal and/or State income tax agencies as additional income tax withholdings and/or estimated income tax payments
