Chatham Lodging Trust Announces 2025 Distribution Characterization

Key Terms

real estate investment trust (reit) financial

A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns, operates, or finances income-generating real estate like shopping malls, apartments, or office buildings. Investors buy shares of the REIT, making it easy for people to invest in real estate without buying property themselves, and it often pays regular dividends from the rent it collects.

cusip financial

A CUSIP is a nine-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies a U.S. or Canadian financial security—such as a stock, bond, or fund share—like a Social Security number for an investment. It matters to investors because brokers, exchanges and record-keepers use the CUSIP to match trades, track ownership, settle transactions and pull accurate records, reducing errors and ensuring money and securities go to the right place.

section 199a dividends financial

Section 199A dividends are certain dividend payments from real estate investment trusts (REITs) and publicly traded partnerships that qualify for a special U.S. tax deduction allowing up to a 20% reduction of the income they create. For investors, that means these payouts are taxed differently than regular dividend income—they don’t get the lower capital gains rate but can lower taxable income through the deduction, similar to getting a partial tax rebate on that income.

form 1099-div regulatory

Form 1099-DIV is a U.S. tax document brokers, mutual funds and other financial institutions send to investors showing dividends and other distributions paid during the year. Investors use it like an annual receipt to report taxable income — including regular dividends, dividends that may qualify for lower tax rates, and capital gains distributions — so it directly affects tax liability and helps reconcile brokerage records with a tax return.
