  • Next Dividend Announcement Expected January 11, 2023

Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: ORC) announced today that the Board of Directors of the Company declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of December 2022. The dividend of $0.16 per share will be paid January 27, 2023 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on December 30, 2022, with an ex-dividend date of December 29, 2022. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on January 11, 2023.

The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its holders of common stock.

The Company will be subject to income tax on taxable income that is not distributed and to an excise tax to the extent that a certain percentage of its taxable income is not distributed by specified dates. The Company has not established a minimum distribution payment level and is not assured of its ability to make distributions to stockholders in the future.

As of December 13, 2022 and November 30, 2022, the Company had 37,307,255 shares of common stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had 35,066,251 shares of common stock outstanding.
