The company, which buys rights to royalties on pharmaceuticals, said Thursday the new dividend would be paid on March 15 to shareholders of record as of Feb. 21.
On an annualized basis, the new payout is 88 cents a share and represents a yield of about 3.4% based on Wednesday's closing price of $26.20.
