The dromedary (/ËdrÉmÉdÉri/ or /-Édri/), also called the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), is a large, even-toed ungulate with one hump on its back. First described by Aristotle, the dromedary was given its binomial name by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The oldest known ancestor of the dromedary is the Protylopus. Males are 1.8â2 m (5.9â6.6 ft) tall and females are 1.7â1.9 m (5.6â6.2 ft) tall. Males range from 400â600 kg (880â1,320 lb), while females weigh 300â540 kg (660â1,190 lb). They vary in colour from a light beige to dark brown.
A corporation's Board of Directors must declare all dividends. Four dividend-related dates are important to this process: Declaration Date The declaration date is the date that the dividend is announced by the Board of Directors. The declaration statement includes the size of the dividend, the date of record and the payment date (see below). Once the dividend has been declared, the company has a legal responsibility to pay it.
1 Date of record: On the declaration date, boards typically also announce a date of record, an ex-dividend date, and a pay date. 2  Those who are registered with the company as share owners on the date of record will receive dividends.3  Those not registered as shareholders on the date of record do not receive dividends. Shares traded on the in-dividend date are called in-dividend shares or cum dividend shares, meaning they are with dividend.. 2  Shares traded on or after the ex-dividend date are said to be ex-dividend shares. 3  They are typically priced lower than they were earlier as cum dividend shares.
