“The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated a significant decline in interest rates, with the Federal Reserve cutting rates several times in the recent months. The Company made the prudent decision to lower our monthly distributions to be reflective of the drop in rates and the broader economic headwinds facing the market,” said Thomas Majewski, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We have continued to carefully manage our balance sheet and have repaid a meaningful amount on our revolving credit facility. At present, out of $30 million available under the credit facility, we have approximately $19.6 million undrawn. We have no other indebtedness.”
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.
