Eagle Point Income Company Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:EIC) today is pleased to announce the declaration of distributions on shares of the Company’s common stock.
The Company has declared three separate distributions of $0.08 per share on its common stock, payable on each of July 31, 2020, August 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 to stockholders of record as of July 13, 2020, August 12, 2020 and September 11, 2020, respectively. The following schedule applies to the distributions:
Record Date | Payable Date | Amount per common share |
July 13, 2020 | July 31, 2020 | $0.08 |
August 12, 2020 | August 31, 2020 | $0.08 |
September 11, 2020 | September 30, 2020 | $0.08 |
Distributions on common stock are generally paid from net investment income (regular interest and dividends) and may also include capital gains and/or a return of capital. The specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to the Company’s stockholders on Form 1099 after the end of the 2020 calendar year.
“Despite the current economic uncertainties, the Company received all of its scheduled April payments from the investments in its portfolio,” said Thomas Majewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “As of May 14, 2020, the Company had over $18 million of undrawn availability on its revolving credit facility.”
SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION
As one of the requirements for the Company to maintain its ability to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” (which it has elected to be), the Company is generally required to pay distributions to holders of its common stock in an amount equal to substantially all of the Company’s taxable income within one year of the end of its tax year, which is December 31.
Since the Company’s taxable income for the tax year ending December 31, 2019 exceeded aggregate distributions paid to common stockholders with respect to such tax year, the Company today declared a special distribution of $0.38 per share of common stock payable in two special distributions. The first special distribution of $0.19 will be payable on July 31, 2020 to stockholders of record as of July 13, 2020. The second special distribution of $0.19 will be payable on October 30, 2020 to stockholders of record as of October 13, 2020. The following schedule applies to the special distribution:
Record Date | Payable Date | Amount per common share |
July 13, 2020 | July 31, 2020 | $0.19 |
October 13, 2020 | October 30, 2020 | $0.19 |
