Approved! BNI Annual Shareholder Meeting Agrees on Rp13 Trillion Dividend and Rp905 Billion Share Buyback
PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, or BNI, approved the distribution of a cash dividend of Rp13.03 trillion at its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on Monday, 9 March 2026 for the 2025 financial year. The dividend is equivalent to 65% of consolidated net profit attributable to the parent entity of Rp20.04 trillion.
BNI’s Corporate Secretary, Okki Rushartomo, stated that the decision reflects the company’s commitment to providing optimal value to shareholders whilst maintaining the company’s fundamentals through strengthening its capital structure.
“A number of strategic decisions agreed upon at this AGM are part of efforts to maintain sustained performance and strengthen the company’s capital foundation moving forward,” said Okki in a written statement.
The shareholders also approved the allocation of 35% of net profit, approximately Rp7.01 trillion, as retained earnings. These funds will be used to support business expansion and strengthen BNI’s capital capacity amid dynamic developments in the banking industry.
Beyond dividend distribution, the AGM also approved a share buyback plan with a maximum transaction value of Rp905.48 billion, including transaction costs. The buyback will be conducted in accordance with prevailing provisions and regulations in the capital market.
Okki explained that the buyback measure is one of the company’s instruments to maintain share price stability whilst providing flexibility in corporate capital management.
“This buyback decision demonstrates management’s confidence in the company’s long-term prospects and provides flexibility in strengthening capital,” said Okki.
Shares acquired through buyback will be held as treasury stock, which can be transferred through resale on the Indonesia Stock Exchange or off-market. The shares may also be utilised for the implementation of employee and/or director share ownership programmes.
At the same AGM, shareholders also approved an amendment to the company’s Articles of Association regarding the reclassification of Series B shares held by BP BUMN into Dwiwarna Series A shares. The reclassification concerned 223,783,877 shares as part of alignment with Law Number 16 of 2025 on the Fourth Amendment to Law Number 19 of 2003 concerning State-Owned Enterprises.
Okki stated that the adjustment represents the company’s compliance with the latest regulations and efforts to strengthen corporate governance as a state-owned enterprise.
“This adjustment is part of the company’s compliance with applicable regulations and ensures the company maintains optimal corporate governance,” he said.
Beyond the agenda on profit utilisation, share buyback, and Articles of Association amendments, the AGM also approved several other matters including approval of the 2025 annual report and consolidated financial statements, establishment of remuneration for the Board of Directors and Board of Commissioners for the 2026 financial year, appointment of a public accountant for the 2026 financial year, and delegation of authority to approve the Long-Term Work Plan (RJPP) 2026–2030 and Annual Work Plan (RKAP) 2027.
The meeting also received a report on the realisation of funds from the offering of the company’s Sustainability Bond Phase I in 2025 and reaffirmed the delegation of AGM authority to the Board of Commissioners concerning amendments to the company’s Pension Fund regulations.
The decisions resulting from the AGM are expected to strengthen BNI’s business fundamentals and maintain the company’s growth momentum amid increasingly competitive developments in the financial industry.
With a strategy focused on capital strengthening, adaptive governance, and corporate policies oriented towards sustainability, BNI is confident it can continue to create value for shareholders and support national economic growth.
