Eagle Point Income Company Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Common and Preferred Distributions

Key Terms

net investment income financial

Net investment income is the money an investor or fund actually keeps from its investments after subtracting the costs of running those investments (like management fees, interest, and losses). Think of it as your paycheck from owning assets: gross returns minus the bills needed to earn them. Investors watch it because it shows how profitable the investment activities are, influences dividend payouts and cash available for growth, and helps compare true performance across funds or companies.

capital gains financial

Capital gains are the profit you make when you sell an investment—like a stock, bond, or property—for more than you paid for it. Investors care because these gains directly boost returns and can trigger taxes, so the timing and choice to sell affect how much money you keep; think of it like selling a house for a higher price and deciding when to close the sale to maximize proceeds after taxes.

return of capital financial

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.

form 1099 regulatory

Form 1099 is a set of U.S. tax forms used by financial institutions and payers to report income paid to an individual or entity that isn’t a regular paycheck, such as dividends, interest, bond or stock sale proceeds, and certain miscellaneous payments. For investors it acts like a formal receipt summarizing taxable events for the year, so it matters for calculating tax liability, verifying broker statements, and keeping accurate records of after‑tax returns.

liquidation preference financial

A liquidation preference is a rule that determines who gets paid first and how much they receive when a company is sold, goes bankrupt, or distributes its assets. It gives certain investors a priority claim—often returning their original investment plus any agreed multiple—before other owners receive money, which shapes how much common shareholders and founders ultimately get; think of it as a front-of-the-line pass that affects payout order and investor returns.

GREENWICH, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Eagle Point Income Company Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: EIC, EICA, EICC) today is pleased to announce the declaration of distributions on shares of the Company’s common stock.
