Declared ordinary dividends are taken into account if their ex-date falls on or between, the start and end date of the reference period of the relevant expiry. For non-US underlyings, the reference period starts on the day following the third Friday in December and ends on the third Friday of June (the expiry date) half year later or in December (the expiry date) one year later.
