What Happened
SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (SMA) filed a Form 8-K (Item 8.01) reporting that on August 4, 2026 its Board of Directors declared the company's August 2026 monthly cash dividend. The dividend reflects a targeted annualized dividend of $1.60 per share and was disclosed in the 8-K filed August 5, 2026 (signed by CFO James R. Barry).

Key Details

• Declared date: August 4, 2026; 8-K filed August 5, 2026.
• Targeted annualized dividend: $1.60 per share.
• August per-share dividend: $0.13589041.
• Record date: close of business August 31, 2026 (last business day of August); Payment date: September 15, 2026.

Why It Matters
This is a routine monthly cash distribution for shareholders of record as of the monthly record date. Income-focused investors will receive the stated per-share payment if they hold shares through the record date; the annualized $1.60 target conveys the company's current dividend pace but actual yield depends on SMA's market price. The filing does not report other material changes beyond the dividend declaration.
