  • August 2021 Monthly Dividend of $0.065 Per Share of Common Stock
  • RMBS Portfolio Characteristics as of July 31, 2021
  • Next Dividend Announcement Expected September 16, 2021

Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: ORC) announced today that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of August 2021. The dividend of $0.065 per share will be paid September 28, 2021, to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on August 31, 2021, with an ex-dividend date of August 30, 2021. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on September 16, 2021.

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 August 18, 2021, the Company had 123,860,013 shares of common stock outstanding. As of July 31, 2021, the Company had 123,060,013 shares of common stock outstanding. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had 117,500,013 shares of common stock outstanding.
