The Series A Preferred Enhanced Special Dividends shall be declared for each month for which the Board declares the regular monthly dividend of $0.125 per outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, commencing in May 2024 (payable in June 2024).

The Series A Preferred Enhanced Special Dividends will be calculated based on the SOFR Rate for each day commencing on the 26th day of the prior month and ending on the 25th day of the applicable month, payable on the 5th of each month. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which press release is furnished, not filed, for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
