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 November 2020. The dividend of $0.065 per share will be paid December 29, 2020, to holders of record of the Company’s common stock on November 30, 2020, with an ex-dividend date of November 27, 2020. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on December 15, 2020.

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 12, 2020, October 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Company had 69,295,962 shares of common stock outstanding.
