The normal ex-dividend date is usually the second business day prior to the record date. However, days when the exchanges, banks, transfer agencies, and depositories in New York State are closed are not counted as business days. Record dates on national holidays are considered by the NYSE as falling on the preceding business day. National election days are not considered business days by the NYSE.
The record date for Edison International's Common Stock dividend is usually the fifth day of the months of January, April, July and October. If the fifth falls on a holiday or a weekend, the record date will be the previous business day. The dividend has historically been paid on the last day of those months to shareholders of record.
