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 November 2023. The dividend of $0.12 per share will be paid December 27, 2023 to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on November 30, 2023, with an ex-dividend date of November 29, 2023. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on December 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 November 15, 2023, October 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the Company had 52,332,306 shares of common stock outstanding.

Estimated November 14, 2023 Book Value Per Share

The Company estimates book value per share as of November 14, 2023 to be approximately $8.47 to $8.52, a decrease of approximately 4.5% to 5.0% from the book value per share at September 30, 2023 of $8.92. The estimated book value per share includes a deduction for today’s dividend declaration that will be paid on December 27, 2023. The estimated book value per share is unaudited and has not been verified or reviewed by any third party. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise its estimated book value per share.
