at a ratio of one share for every ten shares outstanding (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split took effect at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 5, 2026 (the “Effective Time”) and automatically converted every ten shares of Common Stock outstanding at that time into one share of Common Stock.
The Reverse Stock Split affected all holders of Common Stock uniformly and did not affect any common stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for de minimis changes resulting from the elimination of fractional shares, as described below under “Charter Amendments.” Holders of Common Stock were not required to take any action related to the Reverse Stock Split. Their accounts were automatically adjusted to reflect the number of shares owned.
As a net result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding decreased from 48,198,166 shares to approximately 4,819,100 shares as of the Effective Time.
At the Effective Time, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for awards under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and the terms of outstanding awards that had been issued under the Incentive Plan were ratably adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
The Reverse Stock Split will not affect payment of the previously announced Common Stock dividend. The dividend will remain payable on October 15, 2026, to stockholders of record at the close of business on October 1, 2026, based on their pre-split holdings of Common Stock, at the previously announced rate of $0.01 per pre-split share.
The Reverse Stock Split applies only to the Common Stock and did not affect the outstanding shares or terms of the Company’s 7.00% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.

Trading of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange commenced on a Reverse Stock Split-adjusted basis on October 6, 2026, under the existing trading symbol “GPMT.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 38741L 404.
Pursuant to the First Amendment, any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be settled by cash payment, calculated on the basis of the closing price of the Common Stock on October 5, 2026.

Exhibit 99.1
Completion of Reverse Stock Split
NEW YORK, October 6, 2026 – Granite Point Mortgage Trust Inc. (NYSE: GPMT) (”GPMT,” ”Granite Point” or the ”Company”)
today announced the completion of its previously announced one-for-ten reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the company’s common stock (the ”Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split, which was effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 5, 2026, reduced the number of outstanding shares of the company’s common stock from approximately 48.2 million shares to approximately 4.8 million shares. The par value of each share of common stock will remain unchanged. The Company’s common stock will continue trading on the NYSE under the symbol ”GPMT” and is assigned CUSIP number: 38741L 404.
The Reverse Stock Split is intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. common stockholders generally should not recognize a gain or loss from the reverse stock split, except in those instances where cash payments were provided in lieu of fractional shares, which may be taxable.
GPMT’s common stockholders are encouraged to consult their financial advisors and tax advisors regarding the consequences of the Reverse Stock Split, including the applicability and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign tax laws.
