July 5th is the Record date but in order for trades to be settled they take into account the "EX dividend date" which is generally 2 business days before record date. You must own shares before the EX dividend date and hold onto them till after the record date to obtain the shares. And I believe trades made on or after ex dividend lead to the buyer obtaining the F/S shares. So pretty much if its based on 2 days you have till this Thurs to buy shares to qualify for F/S
