Sounds like Peter and Dan think the ex-date was Oct. 30 as well for all shares including OTC. From the Tri-way press release:
"Rather, all TRW shares will be registered / recorded in book-entry form (only) by TRW’s company registrar on November 14, 2018"
FINRA's not even involved. The November 14th date was just saying that's when it'll be recorded book-entry form by Tri-way's company registrar based in Hong Kong.
"The 18,300,000 (that is, 18.3% ownership in TRW) shares of TRW will be distributed to those shareholders of record as of October 31, 2018 eligible to receive dividend shares in two (2) tranches"
How are you considered a shareholder of record as of Oct. 31, 2018? By buying at least two days before on Oct 29 being the latest...If you buy any date later, you will not be considered a shareholder of record on Oct. 31, thus no TRW shares. I don't think they could be more clear.
Based on the link you sent, you are arguing that the ex-date is the first business day following the payable date (which you are saying is Nov 14th). If that were true then you would have 2 ex-dates which is not possible since we have two tranches with two pay-dates. Again, below it says the second tranche goes to those same shareholders of SIAF record as of October 31, 2018, which again is not possible in the U.S. because of T+2 unless you buy the shares at the latest by Oct. 29, thus making the ex-date Oct. 30th which is exactly what they told us..
"Once the 3.29m TRW shares have been returned to SIAF the distribution / pay-date of the second tranche of TRW shares will be announced and processed in book-entry form with the Company registrar for those same shareholders of SIAF record as of October 31, 2018."
Again, not trying to change your mind so please don't comment back.
