    • March 2020 Monthly Dividend of $0.08 Per Share of Common Stock
    • RMBS Portfolio Characteristics as of February 29, 2020
    • Next Dividend Announcement Expected April 8, 2020

    VERO BEACH, Fla., March 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 March 2020. The dividend of $0.08 per share will be paid April 28, 2020, to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2020, with an ex-dividend date of March 30, 2020.  The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend after the Board’s meeting on April 8, 2020.

    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 March 18, 2020, the Company had 66,232,508 shares of common stock outstanding. As of February 29, 2020, the Company had 65,869,815 shares of common stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 63,061,781 shares of common stock outstanding.

    Market Update

    Global financial markets and economies experienced a significant shock not long after the new year started when a coronavirus outbreak occurred in China. Over the course of the first quarter of 2020 the outbreak in China evolved into a global pandemic. The speed at which the virus spread forced governments across the globe to take ever more severe steps to slow and contain its spread. These steps are having a severe economic impact, as economic activity in some instances essentially ceases. Financial markets across the globe are experiencing severe dislocations at least equal to what was experienced during the global financial crisis in 2008. On March 12, 2020 equity markets in the U.S. entered a bear market in the fastest such move in the history of U.S. financial markets. The Agency RMBS market is included in the list of markets under duress. To date the funding markets, with considerable support from the Fed, have continued to operate relatively smoothly. These developments and their effect on the world’s economy and health will likely continue to play out over the balance of the year, and maybe beyond. At this time, it is too early to tell what the ultimate effect will be on economic activity across the globe and the markets the Company operates in – Agency RMBS.
