Our predicted date is Wednesday, September 30. This is when we
expect Bank OZK to declare its next dividend, not when the stock goes
ex-dividend — we publish this estimate as early as about three months before the board is
expected to meet.

We don't publish a predicted next ex-dividend date for OZK. As soon as the company declares one it will appear at the top of this page; until then the record below is what we hold.
