ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
Forward Contracts
On October 28, 2009, Enterprise Acquisition Corp. (the "Company" or "Enterprise") entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA), LLC ("Credit Suisse "), pursuant to which Credit Suisse will sell to Enterprise a total of 1,363,500 shares of the Companys common stock issued in its initial public offering (Public Shares) at a price per share of $9.98, subject to adjustment. On October 30, 2009, Enterprise entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citigroup"), pursuant to which Citigroup will sell to Enterprise a total of 350,000 Public Shares at a price per share of $9.98, subject to adjustment. On October 30, 2009, Enterprise entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Del Mar Master Fund, Ltd (Del Mar), pursuant to which Del Mar will sell to Enterprise a total of 1,384,000 Public Shares at a price per share of $9.98, subject to adjustment.
The purchases for each Stock Purchase Agreement will take place concurrently with or following the closing of the merger with ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. ("ARMOUR") and the purchases will be paid for with funds that will be released from the Companys trust account upon consummation of the merger. Pursuant to each Stock Purchase Agreement, Credit Suisse, Citigroup and Del Mar have each agreed to have their Public Shares voted in favor of each of the stockholder proposals set forth in the Company's definitive proxy statement/prospectus, dated October 13, 2009, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2009.
Such purchases, if made, would increase the likelihood that holders of a majority of the shares of the Companys common stock will vote in favor of the merger and that holders of less than 30% of Public Shares (or 50% of the Public Shares, if the proposal to increase the conversion threshold is approved at the special meeting) vote against the merger and seek conversion of their Public Shares into cash in accordance with the Companys amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
The foregoing description of each Stock Purchase Agreement with Credit Suisse, Citigroup and Del Mar are qualified in their entirety by the copy of such agreements filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 respectively, to this report, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
First Amendment to the Merger Agreement
On November 2, 2009, Enterprise, ARMOUR and ARMOUR Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARMOUR ("Merger Sub Corp."), entered into the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "First Amendment"). The First Amendment amends the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 29, 2009, among Enterprise, ARMOUR and Merger Sub Corp. (the "Merger Agreement") to delete Section 7.1(h) of the Merger Agreement in its entirety, which required, as a condition to the consummation of the Merger, Enterprise to have at least $100,000,000 in its trust account at the effective time of closing after taking into account payment of certain expenses. The First Amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On November 2, 2009, Enterprise issued a press release announcing that it has filed a supplement to its definitive proxy materials relating to the merger with ARMOUR. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

This communication is being made in respect of the proposed business combination involving Enterprise and ARMOUR. In connection with the proposed transaction, ARMOUR filed Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the SEC on October 13, 2009, and the definitive Proxy Statement/Prospectus for Enterprise was mailed to stockholders and warrantholders of Enterprise on October 14, 2009. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF ENTERPRISE ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION.

WHEREAS, Buyer was organized for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business (Business Combination); and
WHEREAS, Buyer consummated an initial public offering in November, 2007 (IPO) in connection with which it raised net proceeds of approximately $247.5 million, a significant portion of which was placed in a trust account pending the consummation of a Business Combination, or the dissolution and liquidation of Buyer in the event it is unable to consummate a Business Combination on or prior to November 7, 2009; and
WHEREAS, Buyer has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 29, 2009, among Enterprise, ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("ARMOUR") and ARMOUR Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub Corp.") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARMOUR, pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub Corp. will merge with and into Enterprise (the "Merger") with Enterprise surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARMOUR and (ii) holders of Enterprise securities (not exercising conversion rights as described below) at the time of merger will be security holders of ARMOUR. Upon consummation of the Merger, Enterprise's outstanding common stock will be converted into like securities of ARMOUR (the "ARMOUR Common Stock"), on a one-to-one basis.
WHEREAS, the approval of the Merger is contingent upon, among other things, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares of Enterprise at the special meeting called to approve the Merger; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to certain provisions in Buyers amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a holder of shares of Buyers common stock issued in the IPO may, if it votes against the Merger, demand that Buyer convert such common shares into cash (Conversion Rights); and
WHEREAS the Merger cannot be consummated if holders of 30% (or more or 50% or more, if Enterprise stockholders approve an amendment to its amended and restated articles of incorporation) of Enterprise common stock issued in the IPO exercise their Conversion Rights; and
WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to sell to Buyer and Buyer has agreed to purchase from Seller the common shares set forth on the execution page of this Agreement (Shares) for the purchase price per share set forth therein (Purchase Price Per Share) and for the aggregate purchase price set forth therein (Aggregate Purchase Price).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. |
Purchase. Subject to Section 7, Seller hereby sells to Buyer and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller at the Closing (as defined in Section 4(c)) the Shares at the Purchase Price Per Share, for the Aggregate Purchase Price.
2. |
Agreement not to Convert; Appointment of Proxy and Attorney-in-Fact. In further consideration of the Aggregate Purchase Price, Seller hereby agrees it will not exercise its Conversion Rights and if Seller has previously elected to exercise its Conversion Rights with respect to any of its Shares, it shall properly and validly withdraw such conversion election with respect to any of its Shares within one business day of this Agreement. The Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Daniel C. Staton and Ezra Shashoua and each of them each with full power of substitution, as his proxy and attorney-in-fact, to the full extent of Sellers rights with respect to the Shares (and any and all other shares or securities or rights issued or issuable in respect thereof) to vote in such manner as each such person or his substitute shall in his sole discretion deem proper, and to otherwise act (including without limitation acting b y written consent) with respect to all the Shares at any meeting of stockholders (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned meeting) of Buyer held on or prior to November 7, 2009. This proxy is coupled with an interest in the Shares and is irrevocable. The Seller hereby revokes all prior proxies granted by Seller at any time with respect to the Shares (and such other shares or other securities) and no subsequent proxies will be given by Seller (and if given will be deemed not to be effective).
3. |
No Right to Additional Shares. Enterprise's stockholders of record are entitled to receive one share of ARMOUR Common Stock for each share of Enterprise common stock owned immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (the Exchange). Although Seller will be a stockholder of record immediately prior to the Merger, Seller hereby acknowledges that Seller irrevocably waives any right, title or interest it may have in receiving any such ARMOUR Common Stock distributed pursuant to the Exchange. Seller hereby acknowledges that by virtue of the sale hereunder, Seller will not become a stockholder of ARMOUR, and the Shares shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall represent only the right to receive the Aggregate Purchase Price there for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, each of Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that this provis ion is material to this Agreement and a significant consideration in Buyers willingness to enter into this Agreement.
4. |

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1.
Purchase. Subject to Section 7, Seller hereby sells to Buyer and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller at the Closing (as defined in Section 4(c)) the Shares at the Purchase Price Per Share, for the Aggregate Purchase Price.
2.
Agreement not to Convert; Appointment of Proxy and Attorney-in-Fact. In further consideration of the Aggregate Purchase Price, Seller hereby agrees it has not and will not exercise its Conversion Rights or, if it has already exercised its Conversion Rights, it hereby withdraws and revokes such exercise and will execute all necessary documents and take all actions required in furtherance of such revocation. Seller acknowledges that the record date to vote on the proposals set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus (the Proxy Statement) filed by Buyer with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the SEC) has passed. Accordingly, solely with respect to the vote for the Merger and the other proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement, Seller hereby agrees to upon request of Buyer vote in favor of the Merger and such other proposals and appoints Daniel C. Staton and Ezr a Shashoua and each of them each with full power of substitution, as his proxy and attorney-in-fact, to the full extent of Sellers rights with respect to the Shares (and any and all other shares or securities or rights issued or issuable in respect thereof) to vote in such manner as each such person or his substitute shall in his sole discretion deem proper, and to otherwise act (including without limitation acting by written consent) with respect to all the Shares at any meeting of stockholders (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned meeting) of Buyer held on or prior to November 7, 2009. This proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Execution by Seller of this Agreement shall revoke, without further action, all prior proxies granted by Seller at any time with respect to the Shares (and such other shares or other securities) and no subsequent proxies will be given by Seller (and if given will be deemed not to be effective).

No Right to Additional Shares. Enterprise's stockholders of record are entitled to receive one share of ARMOUR Common Stock for each share of Enterprise common stock owned immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (the Exchange).

Seller hereby acknowledges that by virtue of the sale hereunder, Seller will not become a stockholder of ARMOUR, and the Shares shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall represent only the right to receive the Aggregate Purchase Price there for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, Buyer was organized for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business (Business Combination); and
WHEREAS, Buyer consummated an initial public offering in November, 2007 (IPO) in connection with which it raised net proceeds of approximately $247.5 million, a significant portion of which was placed in a trust account pending the consummation of a Business Combination, or the dissolution and liquidation of Buyer in the event it is unable to consummate a Business Combination on or prior to November 7, 2009; and
WHEREAS, Buyer has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 29, 2009, among Enterprise, ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("ARMOUR") and ARMOUR Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Merger Sub Corp.") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARMOUR, pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub Corp. will merge with and into Enterprise (the "Merger") with Enterprise surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARMOUR and (ii) holders of Enterprise securities (not exercising conversion rights as described below) at the time of merger will be security holders of ARMOUR. Upon consummation of the Merger, Enterprise's outstanding common stock will be converted into like securities of ARMOUR (the "ARMOUR Common Stock"), on a one-to-one basis.
WHEREAS, the approval of the Merger is contingent upon, among other things, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares of Enterprise at the special meeting called to approve the Merger; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to certain provisions in Buyers amended and restated certificate of incorporation, a holder of shares of Buyers common stock issued in the IPO may, if it votes against the Merger, demand that Buyer convert such common shares into cash (Conversion Rights); and
WHEREAS the Merger cannot be consummated if holders of 30% (or more or 50% or more, if Enterprise stockholders approve an amendment to its amended and restated articles of incorporation) of Enterprise common stock issued in the IPO exercise their Conversion Rights; and
WHEREAS, Seller has agreed to sell to Buyer and Buyer has agreed to purchase from Seller the common shares set forth on the execution page of this Agreement (Shares) for the purchase price per share set forth therein (Purchase Price Per Share) and for the aggregate purchase price set forth therein (Aggregate Purchase Price).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1.

2.
Agreement not to Convert; Appointment of Proxy and Attorney-in-Fact. In further consideration of the Aggregate Purchase Price, Seller hereby agrees it has not and will not exercise its Conversion Rights or, if it has already exercised its Conversion Rights, it hereby withdraws and revokes such exercise and will execute all necessary documents and take all actions required in furtherance of such revocation. Seller acknowledges that the record date to vote on the proposals set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus (the Proxy Statement) filed by Buyer with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the SEC) has passed. Accordingly, solely with respect to the vote for the Merger and the other proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement, Seller hereby agrees to upon request of Buyer vote in favor of the Merger and such other proposals and appoints Daniel C. Staton and Ezra Shashoua and each of them each with full power of substitution, as his proxy and attorney-in-fact, to the full extent of Sellers rights with respect to the Shares (and any and all other shares or securities or rights issued or issuable in respect thereof) to

This proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Execution by Seller of this Agreement shall revoke, without further action, all prior proxies granted by Seller at any time with respect to the Shares (and such other shares or other securities) and no subsequent proxies will be given by Seller (and if given will be deemed not to be effective).

Enterprise's stockholders of record are entitled to receive one share of ARMOUR Common Stock for each share of Enterprise common stock owned immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (the Exchange).

Exhibit 99.1
Enterprise Acquisition Corp.
Files Supplement to Proxy Statement
BOCA RATON, Florida, November 2, 2009 Enterprise Acquisition Corp. (NYSE Amex, Units: EST.U, Common Stock: EST, Warrants: EST.WS) (Enterprise) announced today that it has filed a supplement to its definitive proxy materials (the "Supplement") relating to the previously announced proposed business combination with ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. ("ARMOUR"). The Supplement is available through the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov. Stockholders and warrantholders are urged to read this supplement carefully as it includes important information with respect to the proposed business combination.
As detailed in the Supplement, the Merger Agreement among Enterprise, ARMOUR and ARMOUR Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARMOUR, has been amended to delete, as a condition to the closing of the merger, the requirement that Enterprise have at least $100 million in its trust account at the effective time of closing, after taking into account payment of certain expenses. Enterprise also announced that it had entered into additional forward contracts with institutional investors, bringing the aggregate number of shares subject to such forward contracts, and that will vote in favor of the merger at the special meetings, to approximately 5.2 million. Despite having removed such minimum cash requirement and entered into such forward contracts, as of November 2, 2009, Enterprise would need approximately 4.5 million additional votes in favor of the merger to consummate the merger. En terprise continues to seek additional votes in favor of the proposals set forth below.
The special meetings will be held on Thursday, November 5, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern time at the offices of Akerman Senterfitt, One Southeast 3rd Avenue, Suite 2500, Miami, Florida 33131.
At the special meeting of stockholders, Enterprise stockholders will be asked to approve (i) amendments to the terms of its amended and restated certificate of incorporation to allow for the consummation of the proposed transaction with ARMOUR; (ii) the merger agreement with ARMOUR and the business combination contemplated by such merger agreement; and (iii) an increase from 30% to 50% the threshold contained in Enterprise's amended and restated certificate of incorporation regarding the amount of shares of common stock issued in Enterprise's initial public offering that may seek conversion without preventing a business combination from being consummated. In addition, at the special meeting of warrantholders, Enterprise warrantholders will be asked to approve an amendment to the warrant agreement to (i) increase the exercise price of Enterprises warrants from $7.50 per share to $11.00 per share and (ii) extend the expiration date of the warrants from November 7, 2011 to November 7 , 2013.
