Listed companies distribute dividends, and there are several key words in bonus shares. Let's start with one first.SummaryPossibly easier to understand:
Ex-Dividend Day - Determine if you are eligible to receive dividends or bonus shares.- Typically the payment date for dividends or bonus shares.
Payment Date (Payment Date)- Typically the payment date for dividends or bonus shares.
Distribution Date (Execution Date)-It is the date when you actually see the distribution of bonus shares or dividends credited to your account, which may be slightly later than the exercise date.

---For those who are only interested in the concept mentioned below, you can skip---
1- Ex-Dividend Day:
This is the first day the stock is traded without the dividend. It is usually the date determined by the company after announcing the dividend. Starting from the ex-dividend day, investors who buy the stock will no longer be eligible for the dividend or bonus shares for this round. If you hold the stock on the day before the ex-dividend day (i.e., the record date), you will be entitled to receive the dividend or bonus shares.
2. Payment Date:
In the context of dividends and bonus shares, the Payment Date generally refers to the date when dividends or bonus shares are actually paid, usually one or more trading days after the ex-dividend date. On the Payment Date, the dividends or bonus shares will be automatically deposited into your account.
3. Distribution Date:
The company may separately announce a Distribution Date (also known as Allocation Date) when distributing bonus shares. This date is when the bonus shares actually appear in your securities account. Compared to the Payment Date, the Distribution Date may be delayed, especially when distributing bonus shares, as the actual registration and distribution may require some processing time.
Example:
Ex-dividend Date: 24th.
Payment Date: 25th. Shareholders have the right to receive dividends/bonus shares, and the company may process the payment, but the bonus shares or dividends may not immediately be credited.
Distribution Date: 26th. This is the date when you actually see the bonus shares or dividends appear in your account.
Therefore, in the case of bonus shares distribution, the execution date may be a few days later than the exercise date, which also means that you will see the distribution of bonus shares in your account on the 26th.

Summary:
Ex-dividend date - Determine whether you are eligible to receive dividends or bonus shares.
Exercise date - Usually the payment date for dividends or bonus shares.
Execution date - The date you actually see the entry of bonus shares or dividends in your account, which may be slightly later than the exercise date.
