What it means for income investors

For an investor holding 100 shares, the new distribution annualizes to approximately $1,320 per year (100 shares × $0.2538 × 52 weeks). However, since distributions are variable, this annualized figure is not guaranteed and will change with each weekly declaration. Investors should monitor each payment as it is announced.
