Key Terms

qualified dividends, earnings and profits, return of capital, capital gain

4 terms

qualified dividends financial

"should generally constitute “qualified dividends” for U.S. federal income tax purposes"

Dividends that meet tax rules allowing them to be taxed at the lower long-term capital gains rates instead of higher ordinary income rates. For investors, that means more of the payment stays in your pocket; it influences which dividend-paying stocks you buy and how long you hold them, similar to getting a discount for meeting a store’s membership conditions.

earnings and profits financial

"to the extent they are paid from “earnings and profits”"

Earnings and profits describe the money a business keeps after covering its costs and expenses; 'earnings' usually means the final bottom-line amount while 'profits' can refer to that or to earlier stages after some costs are deducted. Investors watch these figures as a measure of a company's ability to grow, pay dividends and justify its stock price—think of it like a household’s leftover income after all bills, savings and necessary spending are paid.

return of capital financial

"treated as a non-taxable return of capital"

Return of capital is when an investor receives money from their investment that is not considered profit or earnings but rather a portion of the original amount they invested. It’s similar to getting back part of your initial savings rather than gains from it. This matters because it can affect how much money an investor still has in the investment and may have tax implications.

capital gain financial

"treated as a capital gain from the sale or exchange of such shares"

A capital gain is the profit an investor earns when they sell an asset — such as a stock, bond, or property — for more than they originally paid. Think of it like selling a used car for more than you bought it: the difference is your gain. Capital gains matter because they increase an investor’s overall return and can affect taxable income, which influences net profit from an investment.

The Board declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.453125 per share on the Company’s 7.250% Series A Preferred Shares (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). The distribution on the Series A Preferred Shares covers the period from, and including, July 30, 2026, up to, but excluding, October 30, 2026. The distribution for such period is payable on October 30, 2026, to all holders of record of Series A Preferred Shares as of October 15, 2026.

The Board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4921875 per share on the Company’s 7.875% Series B Preferred Shares (the “Series B Preferred Shares”). The distribution on the Series B Preferred Shares covers the period from, and including, July 30, 2026, up to, but excluding, October 30, 2026. The distribution for such period is payable on October 30, 2026, to all holders of record of Series B Preferred Shares as of October 15, 2026.

The Board also declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.4921875 per share on the Company’s 7.875% Series C Preferred Shares (the “Series C Preferred Shares”).

The distribution for such period is payable on October 30, 2026, to all holders of record of Series C Preferred Shares as of October 15, 2026.

CODI’s preferred cash distributions should generally constitute “qualified dividends” for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent they are paid from “earnings and profits” (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), provided that the requisite holding period is met. To the extent that the amount of cash distributions exceeds earnings and profits, such distribution will first be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares and thereafter be treated as a capital gain from the sale or exchange of such shares.
