This monthly commitment underscores the company's persistent dedication to shareholder returns and overall fiscal health.
Dividend Schedule Details
The dividend schedule for the common stock is structured as follows:
- - Amount Per Common Share: $0.22
- - Record Dates:

- June 16, 2025
- July 17, 2025

This distribution reflects the 8.00% annual rate against a liquidation preference of $25 per preferred share. During this time, the dividend will automatically be reinvested into purchasing additional common shares unless shareholders choose to receive cash instead through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP).
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)
For shareholders opting into the DRIP, the valuation of shares will be dependent on the market price of the common stock during the period surrounding the payment dates. If the market price is equal to or exceeds the net asset value, the shares will be issued at either the net asset value or at 95% of the current market price, whichever is higher. Should the net asset value be greater than the market price, the DRIP will acquire shares from the open market.
