Instance-specific date of recurring appointements as *.msg files

I have to extract certain information from outlook appointments saved or dragged & dropped from outlook as *.msg files. When saving instances of recurring appointments I can't seem to find the date of the instance itself though, only the series. Consider the example below.

The series starts at May 17th and ends on May 31st. When someone saves the instance of May 24th, this particular date should be extracted. However when parsing the file, I can't find a field containing this information, only the extend of the series itself. It appears the recurring instances include slightly more information than the first appointment PidLidContactItemData field, but none that hints to the chosen instance (below the additional information).

Is this even possible and if so, where to I find this information? I am currently using the MsgViewer to inspect and eventually the MsgReader to parse the files.

This similar thread couldn't help me out.
