Record date
Māori translation:
Definition
The record date is a day set by a company at their annual general meeting (AGM). It records the names of the registered shareholders of the company’s stock (the ‘holder of record’) who are entitled to receive a dividend payment. Ex-date and record dates are a significant part of being a shareholder because share ownership is constantly changing, so a company needs to know which shareholders are entitled to receive dividends at a set time.
