Key Details

  • Dividend amount: $0.4843750 per share.
  • Security: 7.75% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock.
  • Record date: March 21, 2026.
  • Payment date: March 31, 2026; NYSE symbol: BW PRA.

Why It Matters

  • This dividend is a cash distribution to holders of the Series A preferred shares and reflects the company meeting its stated preferred‑share obligations.
  • As a cumulative preferred issue, unpaid dividends would accrue (the filing identifies the shares as "cumulative"); the payment is therefore material to preferred shareholders’ income.
  • For common shareholders, this is a routine corporate cash outflow specifically tied to preferred stock and the filing does not report other changes to operations, executives, or quarterly results.
