On March 15, 2013, we paid to shareholders of record on February 22, 2013, a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.16625 per common share. Such regular quarterly cash dividend payment in the aggregate was $11,415,000.

Additionally, on April 9, 2013, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.16750 per common share, which will be paid on June 14, 2013, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 10, 2013.

Our Board of Directors reviews our dividend policy on a quarterly basis. Although there can be no assurance that we will continue to pay dividends or the amount of the dividend, we expect to continue to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend. In connection with the establishment of our dividend policy, we adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan in 2003.
