Tax Considerations for Shareholders

In addition to the dividend announcement, Sienna is also reinstating its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) effective with the November dividend payment. This initiative enables eligible shareholders to reinvest their cash dividends into additional common shares at a 3% discount from the market price, which can significantly promote long-term investment growth.
How to Participate in the DRIP
Participating in the DRIP is entirely optional. Shareholders interested in this opportunity can enroll by reaching out to their financial institution or investment advisor.
