CODI's common and preferred cash distributions should generally constitute "qualified dividends" for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent they are paid from "earnings and profits" (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), provided that the requisite holding period is met. To the extent that the amount of cash distributions exceeds earnings and profits, such distribution will first be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the holder's adjusted tax basis in the shares and thereafter be treated as a capital gain from the sale or exchange of such shares.
