If I buy the Span-America Medical Systems on 5/29/07, do I receive the $5.00 special dividend?
Please let me know.
Thanks

Yes, 5/29 is before 6/7.
FIZ is a 4:5 split, not a cash dividend.

There is some confusion as to record date for special $5. dividend. Is it 5/23/07 or 6/7/07?

Record date means nothing, X date is the only one that counts.
