Does PennantPark Investment Corporation have a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)?

As a result, if we declare a dividend or other distribution, then stockholders' cash distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock, unless they specifically "opt out" of the dividend reinvestment plan so as to receive cash distributions.

How can I opt out of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan?

A registered stockholder may elect to receive an entire dividend in cash by notifying American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, the plan administrator and our transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator no later than the record date for dividends to stockholders. Registered stockholders can notify the plan administrator via its website at WWW.AMSTOCK.COM, by filling out the transaction request form located at the bottom of their statement and sending it to the plan administrator at P.O. Box 922, Wall Street Station, NY, NY 10269-0560 or by calling the plan administrator's Interactive Voice Response System at 1-866-659-2642 .

How do I know if I am a registered stockholder?

A registered stockholder is one that is shown on the records of the Company. If you purchased shares through a broker, the shares might not be registered in your name but instead may be registered in the name of the broker (held in "street name"). Individual stockholders whose shares are held in street name should contact their broker for more information on any dividend reinvestment plan changes.

Are dividends taxable to stockholders?

Dividends are generally taxable to U.S. stockholders as ordinary income or capital gains. We will send to each of our U.S. registered stockholders, as promptly as possible after the end of each calendar year, a Form 1099-DIV, which details the amounts includible in such U.S. stockholder's taxable income for such year as ordinary income and as long-term capital gains.
