ARLINGTON, Va., May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Arlington Asset
Investment Corp. (NYSE: AI) (the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors authorized a quarterly dividend of
$0.4375 per share of its 7.00% Series B Cumulative Perpetual Redeemable Preferred Stock (NYSE: AI
PrB) (the "Series B Preferred Stock") for the second quarter of 2018. The dividend will be payable on July 2, 2018 to shareholders of record of the Series B Preferred Stock on May 29,
2018.
The tax characterization to shareholders of the distribution will be determined after the end of the calendar year and will be
reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV. To the extent the Company has current or accumulated earnings and profits for
the year, distributions would be reported as dividends. Because the Company is taxed as a C-corporation for U.S. federal
tax purposes, any dividends would be qualified dividends eligible for the reduced capital gains rates. Any distributions in
excess of earnings and profits for the year would be classified as nontaxable returns of capital to the extent they do not exceed
a shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the Company's stock, or as a capital gain to the extent that the amount of the distribution
exceeds a shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the Company's stock.
