copied this from my ST account.

The Ex-Date, or Ex-Dividend Date, is the first day that a stock trades without entitlement to the next dividend. The ex-date is two trading days prior the record date.

also from the dividend site at end...

Why do Ex-Dividend Dates Matter?
A dividend-paying stock's ex-dividend date is very important to investors. In a nutshell, if you buy a dividend stock before the ex-dividend date, then you will receive the next upcoming dividend payment. If you purchase the stock on or after the ex-dividend date, you will not receive the dividend.
