GLENDALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) announced today the tax treatment of the Company’s 2021 dividends. For the tax year ended December 31, 2021, distributions for the PSA common stock and all the various series of preferred stock were classified as follows:

All of the capital gain is Section 897 capital gain for foreign shareholders.
