ORC

  • May 2024 Monthly Dividend of $0.12 Per Share of Common Stock
  • RMBS Portfolio Characteristics as of April 30, 2024
  • Next Dividend Announcement Expected June 11, 2024

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 May 2024. The dividend of $0.12 per share will be paid June 27, 2024 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on May 31, 2024, with an ex-dividend date of May 31, 2024. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on June 11, 2024.

The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its holders of common stock. In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), the Company must distribute annually to its stockholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. 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 May 8, 2024, the Company had 54,389,261 shares of common stock outstanding. As of April 30, 2024, the Company had 52,973,989 shares of common stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 52,826,169 shares of common stock outstanding.
