Be careful with dividend dates. For distributions > 25% special rules (deferred ex-dates) apply on OTC. Which means the ex-date will most likely be AFTER the record date (one day after the pay date), NOT BEFORE the record date.
If you want to play this safe then you have to hold on to your SIAF shares until nov 15. This is a reality and a fact. Even if the company/FINRA/Oslo bors tells you otherwise.
And keep an eye on the FINRA announcements. They will set the ex-date.
The Ex-Date is BEFORE the Record Date NOT AFTER. They just made it clear that the Ex-Date is TODAY Oct 30, 2018 after the market is closed. Don't confuse people.
