Item 7.01. Regulation FD.
On January 13, 2021, INDUS Realty Trust, Inc. ("Registrant" or the "Company")
issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has declared a
dividend to distribute the Company's accumulated earnings and profits (the "E&P
Distribution") based on the Company's taxable income through December 31, 2020.
The E&P Distribution will be $11,250,000 or $1.99 per share payable to holders
of record as of January 22, 2021. Subject to the stockholder elections described
below, the E&P Distribution will be a special dividend payable in a combination
of cash and shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") with the
total amount of cash payable to stockholders set at $3,397,824, equating to
$0.60 per share. Stockholders of record will receive election materials to
elect, subject to certain limitations, to receive the E&P Distribution either in
cash, shares of Common Stock or a fixed combination of cash and shares of Common
Stock. The E&P Distribution is expected to be paid on March 8, 2021, following
the solicitation period. The Common Stock component of the E&P Distribution will
be based on the Company's two-day volume weighted average price on February 25,
2021 and February 26, 2021. Going forward, the Company expects to begin making
regular quarterly dividend payments, commencing with the quarter ending June 30,
2021.
