Including all dividends declared to date, including the second
quarter 2024 regular monthly dividends and the March 2024 supplemental dividend, Main Street
will have paid $40.555 per share in
cumulative cash dividends since its October
2007 initial public offering at $15.00 per share. Including the second quarter
2024 regular monthly dividends and the March
2024 supplemental dividend, these most recent dividend
declarations represent total dividends to Main Street shareholders
of $1.02 per share, representing an
annualized current yield of 9.1% based on the closing price of
$44.88 per share on February 20, 2024.
The final determination of the tax attributes for dividends each
year are made after the close of the tax year. The final tax
attributes for 2024 dividends are currently expected to include a
combination of ordinary taxable income and qualified dividends and
may include capital gains and return of capital.
Main Street maintains a dividend reinvestment and direct stock
purchase plan (the "Plan"). The dividend reinvestment feature of
the Plan (the "DRIP") provides for the reinvestment of dividends on
behalf of Main Street's registered stockholders who hold their
shares with Main Street's transfer agent and registrar, American
Stock Transfer and Trust Company, or certain brokerage firms that
have elected to participate in the DRIP. Under the DRIP, if Main
Street declares a dividend, registered stockholders who have not
"opted out" of the DRIP by the dividend record date will have their
dividend automatically reinvested into additional shares of Main
Street common stock. The direct stock purchase feature of the Plan
(the "DSPP") provides investors with a convenient and economical
method to purchase shares of Main Street common stock. More
information about the Plan (including the DSPP prospectus) can be
found on the Main Street website
(https://ir.mainstcapital.com/dividend-reinvestment-and-direct-stock-purchase-plan).
