September 10 2024 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP) (the
“Company”), a unique provider of end-to-end real estate
solutions for tech and media tenants, today announced that its
Board of Directors suspended the Company’s quarterly dividend on
its common stock, commencing with the third quarter dividend that
would have been paid in September 2024.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Victor Coleman said,
“Studio demand has recovered more slowly than anticipated following
the union strikes and negotiations, and we no longer foresee the
need for a distribution in relation to taxable income in 2024. Our
Board therefore made the decision to suspend our common stock
dividend to preserve capital in an ongoing challenging
environment.”
In addition, the Board declared a dividend on its 4.750% Series
C cumulative preferred stock of $0.296875 per share, equivalent to
an annual rate of $1.18750 per share, which will be paid on
September 30, 2024 to preferred stockholders of record on September
20, 2024.
The Board will continue to monitor the Company’s financial
performance and operating environment to determine the appropriate
time to reinstate a quarterly common stock dividend.
