Orchid Island Capital Announces June 2024 Monthly Dividend and May 31, 2024 RMBS Portfolio Characteristics

  • June 2024 Monthly Dividend of $0.12 Per Share of Common Stock
  • RMBS Portfolio Characteristics as of May 31, 2024
  • Next Dividend Announcement Expected July 10, 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 June 2024. The dividend of $0.12 per share will be paid July 30, 2024 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on June 28, 2024, with an ex-dividend date of June 28, 2024. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on July 10, 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 June 11, 2024, the Company had 62,821,552 shares of common stock outstanding. As of May 31, 2024, the Company had 62,269,788 shares of common stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 52,826,169 shares of common stock outstanding.

The Company also announced that it and Bimini Advisors, LLC (“Bimini”) entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citizens JMP Securities, LLC and JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (collectively, the “Sales Agents”) on June 11, 2024, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate amount of $250,000,000 of shares of common stock (the “Shares”).

Pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Shares may be offered and sold through the Sales Agents in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or in negotiated transactions (which may include block trades). Under the Equity Distribution Agreement, the Sales Agents will be entitled to compensation of up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares sold through the Sales Agents. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the Equity Distribution Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

The Company has used "at the market" offering programs in the past as a low-cost and effective method to raise equity capital to be strategically deployed into Agency RMBS in conjunction with the Company’s core investment strategy. The Company generally prefers such programs over more costly follow-on offerings absent extenuating circumstances and market conditions.
