What is a record date?

A record date is a date announced by the company as the official date you must be an owner on the company's records in order to participate in the annual meeting and corporate election. Given that the timeframe to settle a securities transaction in the United States is generally three days, an investor interested in being an owner on record date would have to purchase the company's securities at least three days prior to the record date.
