Board of Directors Declares a Partial Q3 2024 Dividend of $0.21 per Common Share and a Normal Q4 2024 Dividend of $0.42 per Common Share

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sunrise Realty Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ:SUNS) (“SUNS” or the “Company”) today provided a quarterly business update and announced its dividends for the third and fourth quarters of 2024.

On July 9, 2024, the Company finalized its spin-off, establishing itself as a pure-play commercial real estate lender focused on the Southern United States. The SUNS portfolio is composed entirely of new vintage assets, with the first loan closed in 2024. This positions the Company uniquely in the public markets, offering a portfolio with no legacy assets and a strategic focus on one of the highest growth areas in the United States.

“We are pleased with the progress we have made since our successful spin-off, with our current portfolio totaling $119.6 million of commitments, of which we have funded $96.2 million as of August 5, 2024. Looking ahead, we are excited to continue deploying capital strategically, leveraging our strong pipeline of opportunities across high-growth regions in the Southern United States. The dividends we are declaring today reflect our confidence in our ongoing business strategy and our commitment to delivering value to our shareholders,” said Brian Sedrish, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Common Stock Dividend

The Board of Directors has declared a partial quarter cash dividend of $0.21 per common share for the third quarter of 2024 as SUNS was not public for the full quarter. The dividend will be paid on October 15, 2024, to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2024.

Looking ahead, the Board of Directors has declared a regular cash dividend of $0.42 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2024. This decision reflects the additional deals we have closed and our increased visibility into the ramping of the SUNS portfolio. The dividend will be paid on January 15, 2025, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2024.
