  • March 2023 Monthly Dividend of $0.16 Per Share of Common Stock
  • RMBS Portfolio Characteristics as of February 28, 2023
  • Next Dividend Announcement Expected April 12, 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 March 2023. The dividend of $0.16 per share will be paid April 26, 2023 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2023, with an ex-dividend date of March 30, 2023. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on April 12, 2023.

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 March 9, 2023 and February 28, 2023, the Company had 39,081,942 shares of common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had 36,764,983 shares of common stock outstanding.
