Market capitalized at $735.8 million, Silver Bay Realty Trust
Corp., is Maryland-based company that focuses on the acquisition,
renovation, leasing and management of single-family properties
for rental income and long-term capital appreciation. Silver Bay
is a young company with a incorporation date of July 2012. The
company's primary source of revenue comes from the leasing of
single-family homes in Arizona, California, Florida, Ohio and
Texas.
Before serving as CEO, David Miller served as a managing director
of Pine River Capital Management LP and Two Harbors Investment
Corp., where he worked on new business development, including the
creation and development of Silver Bay. From 2008 to 2011, Miller
worked in the U.S. Department of Treasury as the chief investment
officer of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Miller

In the first quarter of 2012, Silver Bay's Predecessor began
creating a portfolio of single-family properties. A majority of
these properties did not generate revenue for 2012 due to the
fact that they were still in the stabilization phase. Regardless,
Silver Bay reported fourth quarter 2012 total revenue of $2.8
million.
As of Jan. 15, 2013, Silver Bay maintains a portfolio of 3,405
single-family properties.

Silver Bay's President and CEO. "Additionally, we continue to
build our institutional platform in order to grow our business
and capture operational efficiencies."
