Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dividend payment date is the date when the actual dividend is paid to the shareholders, thus it occurs last in the series of events related to dividend distribution. The dividend declaration date is the date on which the company's board of directors declares the dividend, the ex-dividend date is the date on which shares start trading without the right to the upcoming dividend, and the record date is the date on which shareholders who are entitled to receive the dividend are determined.
