The shares of listed companies circulate in the trading market every day. When a listed company sends shares, pays dividends or issues shares, it needs to set a date to specify which shareholders can participate in the dividend or issue shares. The set date is the recorded date.
In other words, investors who still hold or buy the company's shares on this day can enjoy dividends or participate in the rights issue. This part of the register of shareholders shall be registered by the securities registration company, and the dividends, cash dividends or allotment rights shall be transferred to the accounts of this part of shareholders at that time.
Extended data:
When issuing dividends or bonuses, stock issuing enterprises need to consult the register of shareholders and convene a general meeting of shareholders in advance, so it is stipulated that the list of registered shareholders on a certain day shall prevail, and a period after that date shall be announced as the time limit for stopping the transfer of shareholders.
During the period of stopping the transfer, dividends will still be distributed to the registered old shareholders, and the holders of newly purchased shares are not entitled to receive dividends because they have not transferred their shares. At the same time, the dividend payable during this period should be deducted from the stock trading price.
