Thornburg Mortgage Inc said on Monday it has failed to meet a surge in margin calls, raising concern the jumbo mortgage lender might file for bankruptcy and causing its shares to fall by more than half.

Thornburg said it has faced $270 million of margin calls since Feb 27, on top of more than $300 million in the prior two weeks.

The company said it was able to meet the earlier calls but could not meet a "substantial majority" of the new calls because of "limited available liquidity." Margin calls force borrowers to pay back loans or post more collateral.

Shares of Thornburg fell $5.26, or 59 percent, to $3.64 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
