EDIT: That's not how it works. Anyone who does big board stocks and collects dividends knows that as long as you are a shareholder as of the record date, you get the dividend. I'm 99.9999999% sure it works the same way with f/s stock dividends.
Alot of times with dividends, the payout is a month or so after the record date. If the record date is June 1st, and I buy then and sell on June 2nd, I still get the dividend even if the payout is in July and I have long forgotten that the bonus was coming.
