Dividend Information
Ex-Dividend Date:
The ex-dividend date is two business days before the dividend record date. Shareholders who have purchased their shares before the ex-dividend date will receive the dividend paid in the subsequent month.
Record Date:
Shareholders on record by this date will qualify for the next cash dividend. To be on record by this date, shareholders must have purchased their shares by the ex-dividend date so enrolment information has time to reach the transfer agency that handles the dividends. For CES, the record date typically occurs on the last business day of the month.
Payment Date:
The date that CES sends the cash dividend to shareholders. Typically, this occurs on the 15th of each month, however, if that falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment date will be the first business day prior to the 15th.
