  • August 2023 Monthly Dividend of $0.16 Per Share of Common Stock
  • RMBS Portfolio Characteristics as of July 31, 2023
  • Next Dividend Announcement Expected September 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 August 2023. The dividend of $0.16 per share will be paid September 27, 2023 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on August 31, 2023, with an ex-dividend date of August 30, 2023. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on September 11, 2023.

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 August 16, 2023, the Company had 47,086,727 shares of common stock outstanding. As of July 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, the Company had 43,896,709 shares of common stock outstanding.
