As I understand it, the dividend date of record has already been established as the 26th of this month but it won't be distributed until AE completes the registration process...no trick record dates.
...and if you wait until the last few days to get in, you may well pay a lot more for shares. Best to accumulate now and thru the 26th IMO.
