Book Closure A company's announcement of a dividend or bonus to investors. Investopedia Says: Only members listed in the company's registration at the cutoff date would be entitled to receive the corporate benefits. However, because shares continuously change hands during transactions, identifying the owner of certain shares becomes complicated. If a company announces book closure today, anyone who currently owns the stock will be entitled to the dividend.
