The board of directors of PotlatchDeltic Corporation (Nasdaq: PCH) declared a Special Dividend on the Company's common stock. The distribution of $0.95 per share is payable December 30, 2022 to stockholders of record on December 21, 2022.

The board of directors of PotlatchDeltic Corporation also declared a quarterly distribution on the Company's common stock. The distribution of $0.45 per share is payable December 30, 2022 to stockholders of record on December 14, 2022. This is a 2.3% increase compared to the prior quarterly dividend of $0.44 per share.

“Returning cash to shareholders through a secure, growing dividend is an important part of our capital allocation strategy,” said Eric Cremers, president and chief executive officer. “This is the third year in a row we have increased our quarterly dividend, and we have grown our regular dividend 45% higher on a per-share basis since 2012. After paying the special dividend, we will still have significant capital available to continue growing shareholder value,” stated Mr. Cremers.
