How eligibility is determined

The ex-dividend date sets the boundary. Shareholders who hold ESNT shares prior to August 31 are entitled to the $0.35 cash payout.

The record date, also August 31, is when the company identifies and confirms which holders qualify. That process leads to the September 10 payment, 10 calendar days after the record date closes.
