Key Details

• Dividend amount: $0.01 per share (quarterly cash dividend)
• Record date: September 25, 2026
• Expected payment date: September 30, 2026
• Dividend streak: 133rd consecutive quarterly dividend to common shareholders

Why It Matters
A declared quarterly dividend signals the company is returning cash to shareholders and provides a modest income stream for investors holding FGBIP shares through the record date. The continuation of a long consecutive dividend streak (133 quarters) may be viewed as a sign of stability and a consistent capital-return policy, though the filing does not include earnings, revenue or other financial results. Investors should consider this dividend in the context of the company’s overall financial health and recent quarterly results when evaluating total return.
