Next Dividend Announcement Expected December 10, 2024

Vero Beach, Fla., November 13, 2024 - Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: ORC) announced today that the Board of Directors of the Company declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of November 2024. The dividend of $0.12 per share will be paid December 30, 2024 to holders of record of the Company's common stock on November 29, 2024, with an ex-dividend date of November 29, 2024. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on December 10, 2024.

The Company intends to make regular monthly cash distributions to its holders of common stock. In order to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), the Company must distribute annually to its stockholders an amount at least equal to 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. The Company will be subject to income tax on taxable income that is not distributed and to an excise tax to the extent that a certain percentage of its taxable income is not distributed by specified dates. The Company has not established a minimum distribution payment level and is not assured of its ability to make distributions to stockholders in the future.

As of November 13, 2024 and October 31, 2024, the Company had 78,539,645 shares of common stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 78,082,645 shares of common stock outstanding.

Estimated November 8, 2024 Book Value Per Share

The Company's estimated book value per share as of November 8, 2024 was approximately $8.30 to $8.34, a decrease of 0.7% to 1.0% from the book value per share at September 30, 2024 of $8.40. The estimated book value per share includes a deduction for today's dividend declaration that will be paid on December 30, 2024. The Company computes book value per share by dividing total stockholders' equity by the total number of outstanding shares of common stock. At November 8, 2024, the Company's estimated total stockholders' equity was approximately $652.0 million to $655.0 million, with 78,539,645 shares of common stock outstanding. These figures and the resulting estimated book value per share are unaudited and will not be verified or reviewed by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm or any third party. The Company is providing these figures intraperiod due to recent market volatility, and undertakes no obligation to update or revise such figures or to provide any such intraperiod updates in the future.
