Senior Management and Board of Directors to Ring the NYSE Closing Bell on Thursday July 11, 2013
 
 
VERO BEACH, Fla., July 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orchid Island Capital, Inc.(the "Company") (NYSE MKT:ORC) announced that today the Board of Directors declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of July 2013. The dividend of $0.135 per share will be paid July 31, 2013, to holders of record on July 25, 2013, with an ex-dividend date of July 23, 2013.
 
The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its stockholders. 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 certain percentages 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.
 
Estimated June 30, 2013 Book Value per Share
 
The Company's estimated Book Value Per Share as of June 30, 2013 was $14.12 vs. $14.98 at March 31, 2013. The company paid three monthly dividends between March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 totaling 40.5 cents per share. Book Value Per Share is regularly used as a valuation metric by various equity analysts that follow the Company and may be deemed a non-GAAP financial measure pursuant to Regulation G. The Company computes Book Value Per Share by dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of shares outstanding of the Company's Common Stock. At June 30, 2013, the Company's preliminary estimated total stockholders' equity was approximately $47.2 million with 3,341,665 Common shares outstanding. These figures and the resulting estimated book value per share are preliminary, subject to change, and subject to review by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
 
MBS Portfolio Characteristics
 
Details of the MBS portfolio as of June 30, 2013 are presented below. These figures are preliminary and subject to change and, with respect to figures that will appear in the Company's unaudited financial statements and associated footnotes as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, are subject to review by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
