The term 'ex-date' refers to the date when a stock begins trading without the entitlement to dividends, subdivisions (stock splits), or bonus shares. This implies that on or after this date, new buyers of the stock will not be eligible to receive these benefits. Thus, to qualify for such corporate actions, investors must ensure they hold the stock before the ex-date. The beneficiaries entitled to dividends, subdivisions (stock splits), or bonus shares are determined by the company based on the list of shareholders recorded at the end of the record date.
