The record shown is short. It holds nine monthly payments, all in 2026, from January to September, so it is not a long-term record and has no complete calendar year. Ex-dates fall on a Thursday in the second half of the month, usually the third Thursday, and payment follows five or six days later.

The amount varies widely from month to month, from $0.02 to $0.11. The payments in January, April and July were the smallest, at $0.03, $0.02 and $0.02. The other six, in February, March, May, June, August and September, were between $0.09 and $0.11, with the highest in June. The source shows no growth streak. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution on a Thursday in mid-October 2026 and be paid about five days later.
