Verbatim from SGX (accessed 2026-05-27).
The day when the shareholder records of a company are closed for registration in order to determine the entitlement of dividends, rights and bonus issues. Only shareholders marked in the company's register at the Book Closure Date would be entitled to receive these benefits.
Where the exchange or a regulator publishes its own definition we quote it verbatim, so the meaning is not coloured in the retelling; elsewhere the definition is written for this site.
