The history shown is short. It holds four payments. The first was $0.07, with an ex-date of December 30, 2024 and a pay date of January 3, 2025. In December 2025, three separate distributions of $0.21, $0.03 and $0.02 shared the December 23 ex-date and were all paid on December 29. Together they make up the $0.26 trailing twelve-month total. No ex-dates between January and November 2025 are listed, and none so far in 2026.

With only two year-end payout dates in the table, the record does not establish a pattern in the amount. If the year-end timing holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in late December 2026 and be paid a few days later.
