Exactly what I was told as well

Unless someone explains, we're unlikely to know the precise reason. But when I called FINRA yesterday to ask about it, the woman I spoke to told me that if they did publish an explanation, it would be here:

http://www.finra.org/industry/upc-advisories

That page, as you can see, is for:

...notices that pertain to unusual circumstances such as extremely large dividends, when-issued settlement dates, ex-interest dates for bonds, worthless securities, cancelled IPOs, etc.

So perhaps it does have to do with the dividend.
