Names listed on a company’s official register at a specific cut-off date who are legally entitled to receive dividends, vote on corporate matters, or participate in other shareholder actions. Think of it like a guest list for an event: only those on the list at the snapshot time get the invitation or benefits, so investors watch the record date to know whether they will receive payouts or voting rights for a given corporate action.

"If the dividend payment date is not a business day, payment will be made"

A business day is any weekday when banks, stock exchanges and most government offices are open for normal operations, excluding weekends and public holidays. For investors it matters because transaction timing, settlement of trades, filing deadlines and interest calculations are all measured in business days—think of it as the financial world’s working calendar that determines when money moves and official actions take effect.
