VERO BEACH, Fla., July 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:ORC)
announced today that it has filed a prospectus supplement under which it may from time to time sell up to $125 million of shares of
its common stock through an at-the-market program. The shares of common stock may be offered through Ladenburg Thalmann & Co.
Inc., a subsidiary of Ladenburg Thalmann Financial Services Inc. (NYSE MKT:LTS), and MUFG Securities Americas Inc, as sales agents.
