Bluerock Homes Trust (BHM) Announces Enhancement with Respect to Dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluerock Homes Trust, Inc. (NYSE American: BHM) (the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has authorized the payment of special dividends (the "Series A Preferred Special Dividends") with respect to the Company's Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The Company intends to pay a special dividend (when applicable) which will be seamlessly aggregated with the regular monthly dividend so as to effect a dividend rate of 2% over the 10-Year Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rate ("10-Year Treasury Rate") with a floor of 6% annually, calculated and paid monthly. 

By way of example, if the average 10-Year Treasury Rate is equal to 5.0% for a particular month, the aggregate dividend per share with respect to that month would be 1/12^th of 7% (2% over the 10-Year Treasury Rate) based on the Stated Value of $25.00 per share, or $0.146. Conversely, if the average 10-Year Treasury Rate is equal to 3.0% for a particular month, the aggregate dividend per share with respect to that month would be 1/12^th of the 6% annual dividend floor based on the Stated Value of $25.00 per share, or $0.125.

The Series A Preferred Special Dividends shall be declared for each month for which the Board declares the regular monthly dividend of $0.125 per outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, commencing in November 2023, and shall be payable to the extent the average 10-Year Treasury Rate exceeds 4.0%. The Series A Preferred Special Dividends will be aggregated and payable in cash on the 5^th day of the following month. The average 10-Year Treasury Rate will be calculated based on the 10-Year Treasury Rate for each day commencing on the 26^th day of the prior month and ending on the 25^th day of the applicable month.
