Payment of proceeds

Ex-date is usually Record date -1.
Record date is defined by the issuer.
The basis for entitlement is the position at close of business on Record date.
Payment of dividends can be done either:

- Through the CDCC system, which means that the issuer pays the income to the CDCC and the money is then transferred to Erste Bank (for further credit to CBL); or
- Directly from the issuer, which means that CDCC informs the issuer about the shareholders and the shareholders then receive directly their income from the issuer.
In case of custody accounts, the issuer will transfer the income to Erste Bank for further credit to CBL.

Proceeds are paid to the customer's account upon successful receipt and reconciliation of funds. Proceeds will be paid  with the value with which they are received.

Funds under the Available for Cash Loan (ACL) concept, when applicable, are paid with good value.

The payment method to be applied is reported via MT564 IPAR and Xact Web Portal IPAR.

For further details on entries qualified as ACL, please refer to the section “5.6 Financing: availability of funds” of the Customer Handbook.
