Update to STRC Stock Dividend Adjustment Framework
Strategy Inc (“Strategy” or the “Company”) today announced an update to its Dividend Adjustment Framework applicable to its Variable Rate Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock (“STRC Stock”). Under this updated guidance, when the five-day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of STRC Stock for the five trading days prior to the last trading day of the month is $95.00 – $98.99, Strategy management’s current intention is to recommend to its Board of Directors a dividend rate increase of 25 basis points or more for the next period.
Restated STRC Stock Dividend Adjustment Framework to Incorporate Update
The full STRC Stock Dividend Adjustment Framework, which has only been updated to reflect the foregoing change, is restated below.
Strategy’s current intention, subject to change in its sole discretion, is to evaluate dividend rates each month using the five-day VWAP of STRC Stock for the five trading days prior to the last trading day of the month, as follows:
| • | Below $95.00: Recommend a dividend rate increase of 50 basis points or more for the next period. |
| • | $95.00 – $98.99: Recommend a dividend rate increase of 25 basis points or more for the next period. |
| • | $99.00 – $100.99: No change in the dividend rate is anticipated. However, management may use its discretion to recommend a minor increase or decrease of 25 basis points depending on prevailing market and capital conditions. |
| • | $101.00 and above: Recommend a dividend rate decrease of 25 basis points, or a larger decrease if one-month term SOFR interest rates declined during that month (in each case, subject to the cap on rate reductions described in the Prospectus and Certificate of Designations for the STRC Stock), and/or a follow-on offering of STRC Stock. |
All recommended dividend rate changes under this framework are subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, and dividends will only be declared and paid when, as, and if the Company’s Board of Directors determines such changes are in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. This structured approach is intended to maintain the trading price of STRC Stock near its $100 per share stated amount. There can be no assurance that the recommended dividend adjustments will achieve such intention. Strategy may change or suspend this framework at any time in its sole discretion, consistent with the terms of the STRC Stock.
