PennantPark Investment Corporation announced a special dividend of $0.04 per share on August 4, 2026, payable on September 1, 2026. This is a one-off cash distribution on top of any regular dividend schedule.
Holders on the record date receive the $0.04 payment directly. Short sellers face the opposite — they owe a payment in lieu, meaning they must pay the dividend amount on every share they have borrowed. With short interest at 3.4% of free float and a cost to borrow of roughly 1.96%, the lending market is loose. Availability is wide, so the dividend liability adds a modest incremental cost to carrying a short position but is unlikely to force covering.
