2021 Dividend Tax Reporting Information (Form 1099-DIV)

Because the company's dividend distributions are characterized as capital gains, they are not Qualified Dividends eligible for the 20 percent qualified business income deduction (Section 199A deduction).

The company anticipates that the tax treatment of its 2022 distributions will have a significant non-dividend component due to the supplemental dividend that it expects to declare and pay in first quarter 2022.

Shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisor to determine the specific effect these distributions may have on their individual tax situation.

⁽¹⁾  For purposes of section 1061 of the Internal Revenue Code, the company is disclosing that both the One Year and Three Year amounts are $0.00/share. Section 1061 is generally applicable to direct and indirect holders of "applicable partnership interests."
