Pope Resources Announces Quarterly Distribution

POULSBO, Wash., Aug. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Pope Resources (NASDAQ:POPE) announced today a quarterly distribution of $0.80 per unit, effective for unitholders of record on September 6, 2018 and payable on September 20, 2018. This represents a $0.10, or 14%, increase from the prior quarterly distribution of $0.70 per unit. "We are pleased to announce this increase in our distribution payout, which reflects our confidence in the current and future cash flow generating capacity of the Partnership," said Tom Ringo, President and CEO.

Pope Resources is actively reviewing its longer-term opportunities. Now that the bulk of anticipated spending on its multi-year legacy environmental remediation expense at Port Gamble, Washington is nearly complete, Pope Resources believes it can more confidently pursue opportunities to create and deliver unitholder value. As part of its review, Pope Resources is evaluating its capital allocation strategy, business mix and organizational structure in order to narrow the gap between its trading value and net asset value.

This release is intended to be a qualified notice under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446-4(b). Brokers and nominees should treat one hundred percent (100%) of Pope Resources' distributions to foreign investors as being attributable to income that is effectively connected with a United States trade or business. Accordingly, Pope Resources' distributions to foreign investors are subject to federal income tax withholding at the highest applicable effective tax result.
