It would be on June 3rd. This is the day before the ex-dividend date. The ex-dividend date for stocks is typically set one working day before the record date. If you acquire a stock on its ex-dividend date or after, you will not obtain the next dividend imbursement. As an alternative, the vendor gets the dividend. If you buy earlier than the ex-dividend date, you can get the dividend.
