DEREGISTRATION
OF SECURITIES
Anworth Mortgage
Asset Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), is filing this post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-223697), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15,
2018 (the “Registration Statement”), to withdraw and deregister any and all shares of common stock, par value $0.01
per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) that had been registered for sale and issuance under the Registration Statement
and that remain unsold thereunder. Shares of Common Stock were the only securities of the Company registered for sale and issuance
under the Registration Statement.
On December 6,
2020, the Company, Ready Capital Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Ready Capital”), and RC Merger Subsidiary, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ready Capital (“Merger Sub”), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Company merged with and into
Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company (such transaction, the “Merger”). Immediately
following the Merger, the surviving company was contributed to Ready Capital’s operating partnership subsidiary, Sutherland
Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Ready Capital Operating Partnership”), in exchange for units
of limited partnership interests in the Ready Capital Operating Partnership. As a result of the contribution, the surviving company
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Ready Capital Operating Partnership.
As a result of
the consummation of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings and sales of its securities registered pursuant to its
existing registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Registration Statement. In accordance
with the undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective
amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for sale and issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offerings,
the Company hereby removes and withdraws from registration any and all shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the Registration
Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof.

Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration
Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Santa Monica, State of California,
on March 19, 2021.
