WhiteHorse Finance Declares Special Payout, Sets Date for Q3 2026 Results

October 14, 2026 - 18:44

WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. has announced that its board of directors approved a special distribution of $0.17 per share. The payout is scheduled for December 10, 2026, and will go to stockholders of record as of October 30, 2026.

The company, which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker WHF, also confirmed plans to report its third quarter 2026 financial results. No specific date for that release was provided in the announcement, though the disclosure signals that the business development company is moving forward with its regular reporting schedule.

A special distribution differs from a regular dividend. It typically reflects excess earnings or one-time gains that the board chooses to return to shareholders rather than retain. For investors holding WHF, the $0.17 per share payment offers an additional cash return beyond the standard quarterly payout.

WhiteHorse Finance operates as an externally managed business development company focused on lending to small and mid-sized businesses. Its portfolio generally includes senior secured loans and other debt investments.

The record date of October 30, 2026 means shareholders must own the stock by that day to qualify for the special distribution. The payment follows roughly six weeks later. Investors will be watching for the third quarter results to gauge portfolio performance, net investment income, and any changes in credit quality across the company's holdings.
