Common Stock

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes 2.0 billion shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

On August 5, 2022, we entered into a Distribution Agreement to sell shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million, from time to time, through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). During the year ended December 31, 2024, 6.1 million shares of common stock were issued under the ATM Program.

Additionally, Rithm Capital’s stock repurchase program provides for flexibility to return capital when deemed accretive to shareholders. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock or our preferred stock.

On September 24, 2024, Rithm Capital issued in a public offering 30.0 million shares of its common stock at a par value of $0.01 per share for gross proceeds of $340.2 million, before deducting estimated offering costs.

Dividends declared for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $503.4 million.

We will continue to monitor market conditions and the potential impact the ongoing volatility and uncertainty may have on our business. Our board of directors will continue to evaluate the payment of dividends as market conditions evolve, and no definitive determination has been made at this time. While the terms and timing of the approval and declaration of cash dividends, if any, on shares of our capital stock is at the sole discretion of our board of directors and we cannot predict how market conditions may evolve, we intend to distribute to our stockholders an amount equal to at least 90
