Amounts are the per-share cash declared on each ex-date, as recorded by our data pipeline — not restated for any later share split, so this table reads as a holder's statement did at the time. For split-adjusted annual totals and growth, see the SDY dividend history page. The final tax character of a distribution (income vs. return of capital) is reported by the issuer after year end.
