What the record shows

ULTY has paid weekly since 2024, but its 94-payment history remains brief. Over the last 12 months, ULTY made 53 distributions totaling $25.516 per share. The latest distribution was higher than the preceding payment, while the recent average was lower than the prior average. Across the full record, lower distributions have occurred more often than higher ones.

ULTY’s annual distribution total was $53.414 per share in 2025, which was 46.7% lower than the $100.19 paid in 2024. Because distributions from ULTY vary with income earned, the annual figures show a substantially lower amount rather than a change in a fixed payment rate.

The distributions did not fully offset ULTY’s falling price over the last 12 months. The share price declined 54.7%, while distributions equaled 45.4% of the price a year earlier. The resulting approximate total return was -9.3%, showing that much of the cash received accompanied capital returned through the lower share price.
