Split date of record.

It is my understanding that if you own a stock in your own name, actually have the certificate, then the date of record is related to the date when a new certificate will be issued in your name. The new certificate will be mailed to you. If you sell the stock after it is registered but before you received it in the mail you have the additional complication of delivering or changing the registry of the new certificate. If your stock is at a brokerage in street name the date of record has no effect.

My broker explained the "date of record" dates back to the days when
folks held actual paper shares of stock. If they "missed" the split for what ever reason they fell back to the date of record on the actual shares.
