VERO BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 9, 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 September 2024. The dividend of $0.12 per share will be paid October 30, 2024 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2024, with an ex-dividend date of September 30, 2024. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on October 16, 2024.

The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its holders of common stock.

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 September 9, 2024, the Company had 73,997,050 shares of common stock outstanding. As of August 31, 2024, the Company had 73,947,050 shares of common stock outstanding. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had 64,824,374 shares of common stock outstanding.
