Future Regular and Special Dividends
CBL anticipates paying out the minimum distribution (at least 90% of taxable income) required to maintain its status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). CBL currently expects to pay regular quarterly dividends for the third and fourth quarters of 2022 in addition to the second quarter dividend declared today.
In addition, based on current projections of taxable income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, CBL currently expects to distribute a special one-time dividend in the range of $75 to $125 million to meet minimum distribution requirements. The exact amount of the special dividend will be determined by CBL’s Board of Directors in the fourth quarter and will be subject to the Board’s ongoing review of the Company’s financial performance over the remainder of the year in relation to current projections. Subject to IRS guidelines, the special dividend may be distributed in all cash or in a combination of cash and common stock, as determined at the time by CBL’s Board of Directors.
