(1) MP Thrift Investments L.P. ("MP Thrift") was the direct owner of 375,000,000 shares of Common Stock of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (the "Issuer") and, on January 27, 2010, became direct owner of a further 422,535,212 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer after exercising its subscription rights to purchase such Common Stock.

MPGOP has a 77.05% interest in MP Thrift and MPGOP Cayman has a 22.95% interest in MP Thrift.
(2) MP (Thrift) Global Partners III LLC ("MP LLC") is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware. The principal business of MP LLC is to serve as general partner of each of MPGOP, MPGOP Cayman, MP Thrift, MP (Thrift) Global Opportunities Partners (Special) III LP ("MPGOPS") and MP (Thrift) Global Opportunities Investments III LP ("MPGOI"). MP (Thrift) Asset Management LLC ("MPAM") is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware. MPAM is the managing member of MP LLC.

MPGOI is the holder of a 1% limited partnership interest in the New Fund. Along with MPT, MPAM, MP LLC, and MPGOPS, MPGOI comprises the Associates Fund.
(3) David J. Matlin and Mark R. Patterson are each a 50% managing member of MPT. David J. Matlin's principal occupation is acting as Chief Executive Officer of MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC ("Matlin Advisers") and Mark R. Patterson's principal occupation is acting as Chairman of Matlin Advisers. Matlin Advisers is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware. The principal business of Matlin Advisers is to serve as investment adviser to the various funds. Matlin Advisers also serves as investment adviser to the New Fund. David J. Matlin and Mark R.

Matlin) over the shares of the Issuer held by MP LLC. He also has an indirect pecuniary interest in the New Fund.
(4) Mark R. Patterson's exact pecuniary interest therein is not readily determinable because it is subject to several variables, including without limitation, the internal rates of return of the various funds overall and with respect to their indirect investment in the Issuer. He disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
