Angel Oak Mortgage REIT, Inc. 10-K

ITEM 5. Market For Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities On June 17, 2021, our common stock began trading on the NYSE under the symbol “AOMR.” As of March 3, 2026, there were 16 holders of record of our common stock. This does not include the number of stockholders that hold shares in “street name” through banks or broker-dealers. Dividends We intend to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our common stock. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its REIT taxable income, as adjusted. Any distributions we make to our stockholders will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our earnings, financial condition, liquidity, debt covenants, maintenance of our REIT qualification, applicable law, and such other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time. Our earnings, financial condition, and liquidity will be affected by various factors, including the net interest and other income from our portfolio, our operating expenses, and any other expenditures. We anticipate that our distributions generally will be taxable as ordinary income to our stockholders, although a portion of the distributions may be designated by us as capital gain or may constitute a return of capital. We furnish annually to each of our stockholders a statement setting forth distributions paid during the preceding year and their characterization as ordinary income, return of capital, or capital gains. To the extent that in respect of any calendar year, cash available for distribution is less than our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain, we could be required to sell assets or borrow funds to make cash distributions or make a portion of the required distribution in the form of a taxable stock distribution or distribution of debt securities. For more information regarding risk factors that could materially adversely affect our actual results of operations, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.” Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities During the quarter ended December 31, 2025, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the year ended December 31, 2025. Item 6. Reserved Not applicable.
