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 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.
