Farmland Partners Inc. (NYSE: FPI) (the “Company” or “FPI”) today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a one-time dividend of $0.21 per share of common stock and Class A Common OP Unit, payable in cash on January 12, 2024 to shareholders of record on December 29, 2023.

“The Company made it a priority this year to take advantage of a strong farmland market, selling assets with a focus on strategic fit and long-term water issues, and using proceeds to buy back stock and reduce leverage. Even after applying tax deferral and mitigation strategies available to us, these sales generated a sizeable aggregate gain,” said Luca Fabbri, FPI’s President and CEO. “We view the resulting special dividend as evidence of the strength of farmland as an investment class and its historically consistent appreciation.”

The special dividend is required in order for the Company to remain in compliance with U.S. federal income tax rules for real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). The amount of the special dividend has been calculated based on estimates of operating performance for the year ending December 31, 2023, sales expected to be completed by year end and book-to-tax adjustments.

The special dividend is in addition to the quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share of common stock and Class A Common OP Unit that FPI declared on October 24, 2023. For more details on the quarterly dividend, please see “Note 12—Subsequent Events” of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2023.
