URGENT REMINDER — YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT
May 14, 2007
Dear Stockholder:
You have previously received proxy materials in connection with the annual meeting of stockholders of Arbor Realty Trust, Inc. to be held on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 and according to our latest records, your PROXY VOTE for this meeting STILL HAS NOT BEEN RECEIVED.
Regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important they be represented at the meeting. Your vote matters to us and we need your support. Even if you plan to attend the meeting, please vote your shares now so that your vote can be counted without delay.
With respect to proposal #3: Approval of an amendment to the Company’s Charter to amend stock ownership limits, the voting requirement is an affirmative vote of 50% of all shares outstanding and eligible to vote. Therefore with respect to Proposal # 3, your failure to vote has the effect of a vote AGAINST this proposal.
Follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy voting form to cast your ballot. Remember, your broker cannot vote your shares until you instruct him or her to do so.
YOUR PARTICIPATION IS IMPORTANT — PLEASE VOTE TODAY!
If you have any questions relating to the special stockholders meeting or voting your shares, you may call our proxy specialists The Altman Group toll-free at 800-217-0538 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday Eastern Time.
