So, the last day you can buy AIV and still qualify for the special dividend is September 30, 2025 (the record date).

Below is a walk through of what “due bills” means and how it affects you

A due bill is a legal IOU used in the stock market when a dividend is so large that normal ex-dividend rules are delayed.

Normally, if you buy a stock on or after the ex-dividend date, you don’t get the dividend. But with a large dividend (more than 25% of the stock’s price), this changes. The ex-dividend date is delayed until after the dividend is paid.

During that time, the stock trades with a due bill, meaning:

If you sell your shares, the dividend still goes to the buyer, not you.

If you buy the shares, you are owed the dividend, even if you weren’t on record by the official record date.

Summary

Last day to buy and be 100% sure you get the dividend: September 30, 2025

Still eligible if you buy between Oct 1–15: Yes, because of due bills

Buy on or after Oct 16: You do not get the dividend
