ROC Dividend Guidance
From a U.S. federal income tax perspective, to the extent distributions on SATA and SATS are not treated as being made out of the Company's accumulated or current earnings and profits, they will be treated generally as tax-deferred recovery of capital to the extent of the investor’s tax basis (in the case of a U.S. investor) and will be treated as exempt from U.S. dividend withholding tax (in the case of a non-U.S. investor). The Company does not have any accumulated earnings and profits, and does not expect to generate current earnings and profits in the current year or the foreseeable future.
