Note: Although this page is an explanation of how cash dividend dates work, deferred ex-dates are also used, under certain circumstances, with stock dividends, spinoffs and warrant issues. With those types of distributions the 25% threshold is not a factor, as often times the value of a spinoff or warrant is not known at the time of declaration. However, any time a deferred ex-date is applicable, no matter if the distribution is in cash or securities, the deferred ex-date rules explained here, including the due bill process, apply.
