AmNet Mortgage, Inc. Repurchases 500,000 Shares of Its Stock at $8.80 Per Share

Business Wire, June 29, 2004

SAN DIEGO -- AmNet Mortgage, Inc. (Amex:INV), the parent company of American Mortgage Network (AmNet), a wholesale mortgage bank serving mortgage brokers nationwide, today announced that the Company had purchased 500,000 shares of its stock at $8.80 per share through a privately negotiated transaction with a single entity. The transaction has a value of $4.4 million and is not part of the Company's recently announced stock repurchase plan.

On May 13, 2004, Company announced a stock buyback program, authorizing the repurchase of up to 400,000 shares, or approximately 5% of the common shares outstanding at March 31, 2004. The timing of the repurchases made through this program will depend on market conditions and corporate requirements. The repurchases will be made using the Company's cash resources.

John M. Robbins, Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We were presented with a unique business opportunity that had the potential to increase stockholder value. The timing for this particular transaction was perfect because we could utilize a portion of the proceeds of our recently completed mortgage portfolio sale. It is our continuing belief that our stock is undervalued. Our 500,000 share repurchase and our ongoing stock repurchase program are especially compelling given that the Company's shares are trading at a substantial discount to book value."
