Record date
The Record Date is 5.00pm on the date a company closes its share register to to determine which shareholders are entitled to receive the current dividend. It is the date where all changes to registration details must be finalised.

Ex dividend date
The ex dividend date occurs four business days before the company's Record Date. To be entitled to a dividend a shareholder must have purchased the shares before the ex dividend date. If you purchase shares on or after that date, the previous owner of the shares (and not you) is entitled to the dividend.
