CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capitala Finance Corp. (the "Company", "our", or "Capitala") CPTA declared normal distributions for the fourth quarter of 2018.  

Fourth Quarter 2018 Distributions

On October 1, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors declared normal monthly distributions for the fourth quarter of 2018 as set forth below:

The Company has adopted an opt-out distribution reinvestment plan ("DRIP") that provides for reinvestment of distributions on behalf of its shareholders, unless a shareholder elects to receive cash.  As a result, when the Company declares a cash distribution, shareholders who have not opted out of the DRIP will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company's common stock, rather than receiving cash.
