"As previously announced, our dividend reflects a level consistent with other regional commercial depository institutions," said CapitalSource Chief Executive Officer John K. Delaney.

Subject to satisfying our minimum distribution requirements to qualify as a REIT, we plan to retain most of our earnings in order to invest in profitable growth of our balance sheet, using our strong liquidity, while maintaining our historically strong credit performance."
