Do I receive dividend if my stocks are assigned on ex-dividend date?

Question

I owned a stock and sold a call option on it. On the Ex-dividend date the option was assigned at pre-market hours and stocks were sold at pre-market. Am I still entitled to receive dividends because I owned the stock up to ex-dividend date?

Answer 1

You received notification on the morning of the ex-dividend date. However, the option was exercised the day before ex-div so you are not entitled to the dividend.
