Amounts are per-share cash distributions by ex-date, restated to today's share count (split-adjusted) as recorded by our data pipeline, so a share split or reverse split does not appear as a step between rows and annual totals compare across one. The final tax character of a distribution (income vs. return of capital) is reported by the issuer after year end. Not investment advice.
