A cash dividend, the direct cash payment a company sends to qualifying shareholders without any stock transaction required, is coming from FMBH at $0.26 per share. The ex-dividend date and the record date are both August 18, 2026. Payment arrives September 1.
The three dates that determine who gets paid
Every dividend declaration comes with a calendar, and each date does a specific job.
The ex-dividend date is August 18. This is the eligibility cutoff. Buy shares on or after August 18 and the $0.26 does not belong to you for this cycle. Shares are said to trade "ex-dividend" from that point forward, a term meaning the dividend right has already been detached from the share price.
The record date is also August 18, matching the ex-dividend date exactly. On the record date, FMBH takes a formal snapshot of its shareholder register. Only investors whose names appear on those books on August 18 qualify for this payout.
The payment date is September 1. That is when FMBH transfers cash to eligible shareholders. The window between August 18 and September 1 gives the company and its transfer agents time to reconcile the shareholder list and route the correct amounts to the correct accounts.
A quarterly distribution, not a one-time event
FMBH has put this dividend on a quarterly schedule. Quarterly means four times per year, once each calendar quarter. The $0.26 per share announced here covers the current quarter. A new declaration, with its own set of dates, follows in the next quarter.
For a shareholder doing the arithmetic: the total cash received equals $0.26 multiplied by the number of shares held as of August 18. That amount arrives September 1.
