For whatever reason they want the share-price to raise. This maybe to gain funds through liquidation or simply increase personal / shareholder wealth.
Attempt 1 announce the deals / dividend (Minor impact) Attempt 2 Employ Stockbully to promote (Bad move in my book and didn't work waste of stock) Attempt 3 Extend the record date and close the deal on the 20th to show this is the real-deal. Allowing time for new shareholders to arrive
Extending the record date to allow some sort of registering time is rubbish.... It simply dosn't work like that.
When you buy / sell stock you also buy/sell any dividend rights upto the record date. so who the actual name is is irrelivant.
