notice dates. Weird as other divs like VALE show ex date earlier than paydate like normal.

But this was a special dividend:

If the dividend is 25% or more of the stock value, special rules apply to the determination of the ex-dividend date. In these cases, the ex-dividend date will be deferred until one business day after the dividend is paid. In the above example, the ex-dividend date for a stock that’s paying a dividend equal to 25% or more of its value, is September 11, 2013.

But in this case, the ex date was TWO days after the pay date. I don't suppose that matters, but it's odd.
