Today will be the last opportunity for investors to purchase the shares of these companies in order to be able to qualify for the announced dividends. For the eligibility of the dividends, shareholders are required to buy the shares of the company at least one day before the ex-date, which ensures the settlement of the transaction on the following day.
Dividends are distributed to those shareholders who are listed in the company's records as of the record date.
With the implementation of the T+1 framework, the record date and ex-date generally coincide, unless there is a market holiday immediately following the ex-date and the share purchases made on the ex-date do not qualify for the dividend payout.
