DID ANYBODY CATCH THIS?

4:31:06 PM : KJ: Charles Schwab Initial Question: Dividend Inquiry

4:33:51 PM : <> An investment professional is joining the chat.

4:33:51 PM : <> Welcome KJ. My name is Gretchen K.. I will be helping you today. Your reference number for this chat session is 7529413.

4:33:56 PM : Gretchen K.: Hello Karl! My name is Gretchen. I'm happy to help you today.

4:34:24 PM : KJ: Hi Gretchen!

4:35:20 PM : KJ: I contacted your company about 30 minutes ago but did not have all the information amidst conflicting reports.

4:36:06 PM : KJ: Your website is showing GECC a dividend of $0.0083

4:36:27 PM : KJ: TDA says the same.

4:37:01 PM : KJ: However Nasdaq and Etrade are showing $0.083 instead.

4:37:36 PM : KJ: In light of the conflicting info, I contacted Investor Relations at GECC.

4:38:08 PM : KJ: This was their reply:

4:38:27 PM : KJ: Hi KJ,

GECC pays an $0.083 per share per month distribution. Distributions have been declared through September 2020, payable in October 2020,


Thank you,

4:38:48 PM : Gretchen K.: OK. I'm with you so far.

4:39:30 PM : KJ: Can you please check it out and make corrections on your website. It's screwing up my statistical data.

4:40:21 PM : KJ: Not to mention I almost wanted to sell at that erroneous distribution rate.

4:41:52 PM : Gretchen K.: Let me see what we can do.

4:42:07 PM : Gretchen K.: What page are you using to see that quote?

4:43:58 PM : KJ: I'm on GECC page, Dividends tab.

4:44:42 PM : Gretchen K.: I see. So there may be an extra 0 in there.

4:45:17 PM : KJ: Also the computation makes ACCOUNT SUMMARY / INVESTMENT INCOME tab computations wrong.

4:45:42 PM : KJ: Yes, there's an extra 0.

4:46:17 PM : Gretchen K.: I can report this issue for you. We use a third party vendor for this reporting information.

4:47:41 PM : KJ: Thank you. Does that mean you also paid the last three months wrong too (according to the historical payout)? Or is this for for website data?

4:48:11 PM : KJ: That part doesn't apply to me but just asking.

4:48:17 PM : Gretchen K.: Just for website data. We pay out the dividends received from the company directly.

4:48:58 PM : KJ: Cool. Thank you for your time! Enjoy the rest of the day!

4:49:17 PM : Gretchen K.: My pleasure! Thank you for your time. Take care!
