Anyone understand the dates? I'm a bit confused that the the ex-dividend date is AFTER the record date and AFTER the pay date.
The dividend is payable on January 31, 2020 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on January 23, 2020. Shareholders of record on January 23, 2020 must hold their shares through the close of January 31 payment date to receive the special dividend. The ex-dividend date will be February 3, 2020, the first business day after such payment date.
