Traders and institutional investors using these securities in SLB strategies must plan positions accordingly. The staggered dates help minimize concentrated market disruption, but participants should monitor liquidity in alternative securities during shut periods.

Impact Justification

Multiple dividend announcements affecting trading patterns and investor portfolios
