Eclipse Residential Mortgage Investment Corporation Increases Dividend
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 01/12/17 -- (TSX: ERM) ("Eclipse") is pleased to announce a 15.4% increase in the dividend rate to $0.0625 per Common Share per month for record dates from January to March 2017. This represents an annualized dividend of $0.75 per Common Share or a distribution yield of 7.7% based on the January 10, 2017 closing price.
The dividend increase is consistent with the previously disclosed increase that was intended following the transition of Eclipse from the Canadian securities regulatory regime for investment funds to the regulatory regime for reporting issuers that are not investment funds, which became effective January 4, 2017.
Eclipse has paid total dividends of approximately $2.14 per Common Share since inception to December 31, 2016 and the dividend has been increased twice, while also growing the book value per Common Share. Since inception to December 31, 2016, Eclipse has generated a total return of 7.8%(1) per annum. Eclipse expects to announce the implementation of an amended dividend reinvestment plan later in January 2017 to allow shareholders to realize the benefits of compound growth through an efficient, commission-free program.
