Definition of date of record
Definition: The date on which a stockholder must own shares to be entitled to vote or receive a dividend.
Example: If a company declares a dividend on May 1st, the date of record might be set for May 15th. This means that shareholders who own the stock on May 15th will receive the dividend payment.
Explanation: The date of record is important for determining which shareholders are eligible to receive dividends or vote on corporate matters. It is set by the company and serves as a cutoff date for determining ownership of shares. In the example given, only shareholders who own the stock on May 15th will receive the dividend payment, even if they sold their shares before the payment date.
