T: 212-698-3525- Will I receive a Form 1099 or a K-1 for dividends and distributions?
You will receive a Form 1099.
- Who generates my 1099, and whom should I call if I did not receive one?
Form 1099s are generated by your own brokerage firm. If you did not receive a Form 1099, you should contact your broker.
- How do I opt out of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP")?
We have a dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") in place that provides for reinvestment of our distributions on behalf of our shareholders, unless a shareholder elects to receive cash. The DRIP is set up to be automatic unless a shareholder "opts out" and elects to receive cash for dividends instead of additional shares of the company. However, many brokerage firms automatically opt their clients out of DRIPs. If you are a new shareholder, you should check with your broker to be sure your dividends are paid correctly. If you are an existing shareholder and have been receiving your dividends correctly, you do not need to do anything when new dividends are announced.
