As part of this commitment, we intend to provide a ratable increase to our base dividend over time. To this end, we are pleased to announce a 20% increase in our quarterly cash dividend to $0.12 per share commencing with the Q1 2024 dividend, payable in April 2024. This base dividend will amount to approximately $75 million on an annual basis, representing approximately 6% of 2024 FFO".

Dividend decrease #12 of 2023 : W.P. Carey Inc.

W. P. Carey Inc. (W. P. Carey, NYSE: WPC) reported today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.860 per share, equivalent to an annualized dividend rate of $3.44 per share, reflecting both the Company's strategic plan to exit the office assets within its portfolio (announced on September 21, 2023) and a lower payout ratio. The dividend is payable on January 16, 2024 to stockholders of record as of December 29, 2023.

"The dividend announced takes into account the impacts of our recently announced strategic plan to exit our office assets and sets a new baseline from which to grow going forward. It also reflects a lower payout ratio, enabling us to retain higher cash flow that can be redeployed into new investments. We believe this approach will enhance our cost of capital, supporting AFFO growth and a rising dividend over time, in addition to providing a steady source of income to our shareholders."
