CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Board of Trustees of Babson Capital Corporate Investors (the "Trust") met today. The Trust's Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of 30 cents per share payable on January 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2015. The quarterly dividend is considered ordinary income for tax purposes and will be reported on IRS Form 1099-Div. Although a 30 cent-per-share dividend was declared in each of the three preceding quarters, no assurance can be given that the Trust will be able to maintain that dividend level in the future.
The Trustees of the CI Subsidiary Trust (the "Subsidiary Trust"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust, declared a $3,000,000 distribution payable to the Trust on December 3, 2015. The distribution is being made from accumulated income and capital gains. The distribution from accumulated income and realized gains is treated as qualified dividends by the Trust. The footnotes to the Trust's September 30, 2015 Quarterly Report to Shareholders contain more information about the relationship between the Trust and the Subsidiary Trust.
The Trust does not anticipate having realized net long-term gains at the end of the current fiscal year. To the extent that there are realized net long-term gains, the Trust may retain those gains and pay the required federal tax thereon. If necessary, IRS Form 2439, Notice to Shareholders of Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains, will be mailed to shareholders by the end of January. The Trust's 2015 unaudited financial results are expected to be available in late-January.
