Tony, Yes, I agree, the 3 day settlement needs to be taken account of. Generally (but not always) a retail investor buys a stock but it does not actually happen for three days hence. THAT is what the big confusion SHOULD have been over i.e. what is the RECORD DATE? May 17th or May 20th?

The answer was made clear in the press release. It is May 17th ASSUMING that the buyer wouldn't get the shares for three days or May 20th, the official RECORD DATE.

The ExDate therefore was May 18th assuming that three days would pass making it May 21st.

In ANY CASE, today May 21st is clearly AFTER the record date, and actually for 99.9% of the cases the Ex date was actually three days ago, May 18th. As the press release CLEARLY stated, buy your shares by May 17th so that you will be a holder on the RECORD DATE of May 20th.
