NEW YORK, May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Five Oaks Investment Corp. (NYSE: OAKS) (the "Company") today announced that its registration statement on S-3 for the Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan") was declared effective at 5:30 PM on May 11, 2015. The Plan has two components: a dividend reinvestment component and a direct stock purchase component. The dividend reinvestment component allows existing stockholders of the Company's common stock to reinvest the cash dividends paid on the Company's common stock. The direct stock purchase component allows existing stockholders and new investors to purchase the Company's common stock through optional cash payments.

The Company has appointed American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC ("AST") to serve as the administrator of the Plan. AST will purchase shares for the Plan either in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions with third parties, as described in the Plan. Stockholders and other persons may obtain a copy of the Plan prospectus and enrollment application by contacting AST at (800)-278-4353 if in the United States and Canada, or visiting AST's website at www.AmStock.com.

A stockholder or other interested investor may join the Plan at any time and will remain a participant until participation is terminated or all shares held in the participant's Plan account are sold. If a request specifying the reinvestment of dividends is received by AST at least three (3) business days before the record date of a dividend payment, reinvestment commences with that dividend payment. If the request is received after that date, reinvestment of dividends through the Plan may not begin until the dividend payment following the next record date.

"We have recently received a number of calls from our stockholders requesting a plan and I am glad we now are able to accommodate those requests," commented David Carroll, Chairman, President and CEO of the Company.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The offer is being made solely through the Plan prospectus.
