Here is the general process for determining the ex-dividend date:
- The company's board of directors sets the dividend payment date and the ex-dividend date.
- The ex-dividend date is usually set 1-2 business days before the dividend payment date.
- On the ex-dividend date, the company's shares begin trading without the right to receive the most recent dividend payment.
- Investors who own the shares on the record date (usually 1-2 business days before the ex-dividend date) will receive the dividend payment.
- Investors who buy the shares on or after the ex-dividend date will not receive the dividend payment for that particular dividend.
It's important to note that the ex-dividend date is not the same as the dividend payment date. The dividend payment date is the date on which the dividend is actually paid to shareholders.
