Before we pay any dividend, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our financing arrangements and other debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our net taxable income, we could be required to sell assets or borrow funds to make required cash distributions or we may make a portion of the required distribution

in the form of a taxable stock distribution or distribution of debt securities. 

As described above, our distribution requirements are based on taxable income rather than GAAP net income. Differences between taxable income and GAAP net income include (i) unrealized gains and losses associated with investment and derivative portfolios which are marked-to-market in current income for GAAP purposes, but excluded from taxable income until realized or settled, (ii) temporary differences related to amortization of premiums and discounts paid on investments, (iii) the timing and amount of deductions related to stock-based compensation, (iv) temporary differences related to the recognition of realized gains and losses on sold investments and certain terminated derivatives, (v) taxes, and (vi) differences between GAAP income or losses in our TRSs and taxable income resulting from dividend distributions to the REIT from our TRSs. Undistributed taxable income is based on current estimates and is not finalized until we file our annual tax return for that tax year, typically in October of the following year. As of December 31, 2024, we had estimated undistributed taxable income of approximately $0.38 per common share.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company declared common stock dividends of $0.20 per share. During the same period, the Company declared and paid preferred stock dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, and Series C Preferred Stock of $0.51563, $0.50, and $0.693062, respectively.

Our liquidity determines our ability to meet our cash obligations, including distributions to our stockholders, payment of our expenses, financing our investments and satisfying other general business needs. 

Our principal sources of cash consist of borrowings under securitized debt and financing arrangements, principal and interest payments we receive on our investment portfolio, cash generated from our operating results, proceeds from the sale of investments, and proceeds from capital market transactions. We typically use cash to repay principal and interest on our securitized
