Over the last 12 months, RDTY paid 52 distributions totaling $15.243 per share, for a trailing yield of 43.6%. The recent average distribution was $0.1927 per share, 18.2% below the prior average, showing that payments have moved lower recently.
The $14.418 total for 2025 covers a short first year because payments began midyear, so it does not establish a year-over-year annual pattern.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
