Two Harbors Investment Corp. Announces Third Quarter 2012 Dividend of $0.36 per Share
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Board of Directors of Two Harbors Investment Corp. (NYSE: TWO; NYSE MKT: TWO.WS) today declared a quarterly dividend of $0.36 per share of common stock for the third quarter of 2012. This dividend is payable October 22, 2012 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on September 24, 2012.
“We are pleased to deliver another strong dividend to our stockholders this quarter,” said Thomas Siering, Two Harbors' President and Chief Executive Officer. “The dividend is based on our evaluation of current market conditions. We continue to believe that the housing and mortgage sectors offer attractive investment opportunities and that we will continue to generate strong total returns for our stockholders.”
Two Harbors distributes dividends based on its current estimate of taxable earnings per common share, not GAAP earnings. Taxable and GAAP earnings are expected to differ principally because of differences in discount accretion and premium amortization, certain non-taxable unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivatives, and non-deductible general and administrative expenses.
