Vero Beach, Fla., February 12, 2020 - 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 February 2020.

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 February 11, 2020, the Company had 64,524,495 shares of common stock outstanding. As of January 31, 2020, the Company had 63,633,908 shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had 63,061,781 shares
