merkintäpäivä
Merkintäpäivä, or "marking day" in English, refers to a specific date established for the purpose of officially noting or recording something. The concept is broad and can apply to various contexts, often relating to legal, financial, or administrative processes. In finance, for instance, a merkintäpäivä might be the date on which shareholders are determined to be eligible to receive a dividend payment. This means that if an investor buys a stock on or after the merkintäpäivä, they will not be entitled to the upcoming dividend.
Similarly, in legal proceedings, a merkintäpäivä could be the date by which certain documents must be filed
