Here is the explanation I received from Ameritrade:

You are the "owner" of a security on the day you purchase the
security. This fact, however, does not always determine whether you
are entitled to dividend shares. To determine whether you are
entitled to dividend shares depends on whether you need to be an
"owner" before an ex-dividend date, or a "record holder" before a
record date. To be a record holder, your trade must settle on or
before the record date.

With respect to the dividend shares paid on Medinah Energy, there was
no ex-dividend date. In other words, the company would only be paying
dividend shares to those shareholders who were record holders as of
the record date (May 7). In your case, your trade did not settle
until after the record date. Thus, you were not paid dividend shares
for the 7,000 shares.

If you have any further questions, please call 1-800-669-3900 and
speak with an Ameritrade Representative. Thank you.
