The dividend will be paid on 15 July to shareholders of record on 8 July. The ex-dividend date is 8 July.

MAIN's contribution to DivGro's projected annual dividend income will increase by $12 to $588.

I own 200 shares of MAIN at an average cost basis of $18.46 per share. Following this increase, my yield on cost is 15.93%. (MAIN's forward yield is 5.86% at $50.19 per share). 

Since I opened my MAIN position in March 2010, the stock has produced annualized total returns of 30%, including $6,029 in dividend income. 

MAIN became DivGro's 6th Home Run stock in September 2016, when the stock doubled my original capital outlay.
