CHARLOTTE, N.C., Jan. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capitala Finance Corp. (Nasdaq:CPTA) ("Capitala" or the "Company") today announced that it has declared distributions for the months of January, February, and March of 2015.

Converts to Monthly Distribution

On January 2, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors declared the following distributions:

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.
