CIRI Trust Distribution Fund
Fourth quarter payments from the CIRI Settlement Trust (CIRI Trust) Distribution Fund, in the amount of $12.84 per share (or $1,284 per 100 shares), will be mailed or directly deposited by 6 p.m. AKST on Tuesday, Dec. 9 to all CIRI Trust beneficiaries who own CIRI stock and have a valid mailing address on file with CIRI as of 3 p.m. AKST on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
CIRI Trust Elders distribution
Funds will be mailed or directly deposited by 6 p.m. AKST on Friday, Dec. 12 to eligible Elders with a valid mailing address on file as of 3 p.m. AKST on Tuesday, Nov. 25. CIRI Trust beneficiaries who are original CIRI Shareholders and 65 years of age or older on the record date of Dec. 10, 2025, are eligible to receive the $450 payment, providing they either own at least one share of CIRI stock or gifted all their CIRI stock to family members prior to July 31, 2003.
Direct/remote deposit
CIRI urges Shareholders who receive their distributions in check form to consider signing up for direct deposit or taking advantage of remote deposit. Both options are fast, easy and environmentally friendly. (Note: When remotely depositing a check, it’s a good idea to make a note on the check so you don’t attempt to cash it again. If a check is cashed twice, you are legally liable to repay the amount of the overpayment.)
Shareholders who participate in direct deposit and have a mailing address current with CIRI are also eligible to participate in quarterly prize drawings. Direct deposit forms are available from Shareholder Relations and at ciri.com. To cancel direct deposit, contact Shareholder Relations and submit a signed, written request prior to 3 p.m. Alaska Time on the specified deadline. If you have a Qenek account, you may cancel your existing direct deposit instruction online via the portal.
Address changes
Checks are mailed to the address CIRI has on record as of the specified deadline. If your address has changed, be sure to update your address with both CIRI and the U.S. Postal Service. These addresses must match, or your CIRI mail may not reach you. When CIRI mail is undeliverable, distributions are held, and the Shareholder does not qualify to participate in any prize drawings until the address is updated. This is true even if a Shareholder is signed up for direct deposit.
CIRI address changes may be submitted online via the Qenek portal. Alternatively, you may submit a completed CIRI address change form—available at ciri.com—or a signed, written request that includes a current telephone number. You may scan or take a photo of your completed form or request and email it to shareholderrecords@ciri.com; mail it to CIRI at P.O. Box 93330, Anchorage, AK 99509; or fax it to (907) 263-5186. If faxed, please call Shareholder Relations as soon as possible to confirm receipt. Forms and information on changing your address or submitting a mail-forwarding request with the U.S. Postal Service are available at usps.com or your local post office.
Please be aware that if you fail to notify CIRI of a new address before a specified deadline and your check is sent to your previous address, CIRI cannot reissue that check to you unless it is either returned to us or a minimum of 90 days has elapsed. A list of Shareholders who do not have a current mailing address on record is continually updated and may be found on the CIRI website.
Tax reminder
Neither CIRI nor the CIRI Trust withhold taxes from distributions; however, Shareholders or beneficiaries who anticipate owing tax on their distributions have the option of making quarterly estimated tax payments directly to the IRS. To find out more about applicable federal and state tax requirements or making quarterly estimated tax payments, please consult with a tax advisor or contact the IRS directly. As a reminder, distributions made by the CIRI Trust are expected to be tax-free to beneficiaries in most cases.
