April 28th is the date of record announced by IDWD in a PR as the date by which you must be a shareholder of record in order to recieve the dividend. It is unclear which dividend was being referred to or if it was both. I have a feeling that they may be connected somehow. According to the SEC info I posted earlier, the actual ex-date is supposed to be the day after the May 15th paydate. This tells me that anyone buying(allowing for a 3 day settlement period)up to the 15th of May should be eligible for one or the other dividend. Again it is unclear which. My suspicion is that the date of record set by IDWD in a PR will be used to determine shareholders of record for the IPO shares that were offered. These must be held until the IPO'd company begins trading. Hope this helps.
