The 2025 total was about 18% above 2024 and about 52% above 2020. The June 2026 distribution was about 33% below the $0.54 paid in June 2025. Payment usually follows the ex-date by three to seven days.

If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in mid-December 2026 and be paid a few days later.
