The record date, or date of record, is the cut-off date established by a company in order to determine which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or distribution. ... The shareholders of record as of the record date will be entitled to receive the dividend or distribution, declared by the company.
On a nutshell, you would need to be a holder from before the record date through to the ex date to qualify for the rights issue shares.
