Understanding Dividend Policies
The structure of our dividend payments is underpinned by a well-defined policy initiated previously. For Class A shares, the monthly dividend is calculated based on a 10.00% annualized rate of the volume-weighted average market price (VWAP) of the shares from the last five trading days of the prior month. Accordingly, shareholders with shares recorded by the deadline will receive $0.08225 per share, determined from the VWAP of $9.87, ensuring a reliable yield at 10.00%.
Preferred Shareholder Benefits
Moving to Preferred shares, holders will benefit from a fixed return indexed to the prime rate plus 2.35%, maintaining flexibility with a minimum guaranteed rate of 5.00% and a cap at 8.00%. This structure aims to provide predictable returns for our valued preferred shareholders.
