EJF Investments Ltd

("EJFI" or the "Company")

              Recent Investment Announcement

The Board of EJFI, which provides investors exposure to a diversified
portfolio of debt issued by smaller US banks and insurance companies and
participation in certain management fee income streams of EJF Capital LLC
("EJF"), is pleased to announce that on 18 September 2025, the Company via its
subsidiary invested in the CDO Equity Tranche of TruPS Financials Note
Securitization 2025-2 ("TFINS 2025-2"), a securitisation sponsored by EJF.
This represents the twelfth risk retention investment made by the Company
since its inception in 2017 and the second such investment of 2025.

The Company's total investment in TFINS 2025-2 was approximately $18.9m (c.15%
of the Company's latest reported NAV).  This was funded using proceeds of
$12.8m received from the Company's investment in the CDO Equity Tranche of
TFINS 2019-1, which was called at the same time, $2m of proceeds from the
redemption at par of its mezzanine debt investment in TFINS 2019-1 and net
additional cash of $4.1m. The Manager believes that the investment in TFINS
2025-1 will generate approximately 18% yield to maturity.

The underlying collateral of TFINS 2025-2 mainly consists of trust preferred
securities, subordinated debt and surplus notes issued by 75 US bank and 11
insurance company unique issuers with an aggregate par value of approximately
$447.5 million. TFINS 2025-2 has a final maturity date in 2039 and is callable
after July 2027 at the option of the CDO Equity Tranche holders, with a
mandatory auction call commencing after July 2032.

EJF CDO Manager LLC (the "CDO Manager") will serve as the collateral manager
for TFINS 2025-2 and will receive a 30-basis points p.a. management fee as
well as an incentive management fee equal to 20% of profits over a 10% hurdle,
subject to certain conditions. The Company will benefit from the economics
generated by the CDO Manager through the Company's 49% ownership interest in
the CDO Manager.
