What is an ex-dividend date?

The ex-dividend date is the cut-off for owning a stock in time to receive its next dividend. If you buy DRI on or after the ex-dividend date, the seller — not you — receives the upcoming payment. Buy before it and you're entitled to the dividend.

Do I have to own DRI on the ex-dividend date to get the dividend?

You must own DRI before the ex-dividend date — i.e. buy at least one trading day earlier. Since the move to T+1 settlement, the record date and ex-dividend date now fall on the same day, so the ex-date is the deadline that matters.
