DIVIDENDS The Company intends to elect to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with its short taxable year beginning on November 26, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2019 upon the filing of our tax return for such taxable year, which will be filed on or before its due date. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute, at a minimum, an amount equal to 90% of its taxable income, excluding net capital gains, and must distribute 100% of its taxable income (including net capital gains) to eliminate corporate federal income taxes payable by the REIT.
