Explanation of responses

Remarks

This Form 4 is being filed in connection with the distribution and/or conversion of Deferred 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 17, 2012 and were fully vested at grant. 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 2, 2016. The sale by the Reporting Person of a portion of the distributed common stock is to address such tax liability where (i) a portion 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 withholding and/or estimated income tax payments and (ii) a portion of the proceeds of such sale represent the sale of common stock for cash proceeds.
