股票分割 - 投資

這陣子才開始學習投資, 最近看到KO分割股票的新聞
想請教一個基本的股票分割 record date 問題

Coca-Cola (KO) announced a 2 for 1 stock split, the 11th split in company
history and the first in 16 years. The number of authorized shares will
double from 5.6 billion to 11.2 billion. As per the press release:

The record date for the stock split is expected to be July 27, 2012, with new
shares expected to be distributed on or about Aug. 10, 2012. Each shareowner
of record on the close of business on the record date will receive one
additional share of common stock for each share held.


請問股票分割的record date 的意義是否跟配息的record date 不同?
只要在ex-date Aug 10 前持有KO 股票屆時都會被分割*2 ?
