BNI Annual Shareholders' Meeting Approves 13 Trillion Rupiah Dividend and 905 Billion Rupiah Share Buyback
PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, or BNI, approved a cash dividend distribution of 13.03 trillion rupiah at its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGMS) for the 2025 fiscal year held on Monday 9 March 2026.
The dividend represents 65 percent of consolidated net income attributed to the parent entity owners, totalling 20.04 trillion rupiah.
BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo stated that this decision reflects the company’s commitment to delivering optimal value to shareholders whilst maintaining sound corporate fundamentals through capital structure strengthening.
“A number of strategic decisions agreed upon at this AGMS form part of efforts to maintain sustained performance and reinforce the Company’s capital foundation going forward,” said Okki in a written statement issued on Tuesday 10 March 2026.
In the meeting, shareholders approved allocation of 35 percent of net income, approximately 7.01 trillion rupiah, as retained earnings. These funds will support business expansion and strengthen BNI’s capital capacity amid dynamic conditions in the banking industry.
Beyond dividend distribution, the AGMS approved a share buyback programme with a maximum transaction value of 905.48 billion rupiah, including transaction costs. The buyback will be conducted in accordance with applicable capital market regulations and requirements.
Okki explained that the buyback represents one instrument the company employs to maintain share price stability whilst providing flexibility in corporate capital management.
“The buyback decision demonstrates management confidence in the company’s long-term prospects whilst providing room for flexibility in capital strengthening,” said Okki.
Shares acquired through the buyback will be held as treasury stock, which can be transferred through resale on the Indonesia Stock Exchange or off-market. These shares may also be utilised for implementation of Employee and/or Management Share Ownership Programmes.
In the same AGMS, shareholders approved amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association regarding reclassification of BP BUMN’s Series B shares as Series A Dwiwarna shares.
The reclassification applied to 223,783,877 shares as part of alignment with Law Number 16 of 2025 concerning the Fourth Amendment to Law Number 19 of 2003 concerning State-Owned Enterprises.
Okki stated that this adjustment represents the company’s compliance with the latest regulations whilst strengthening corporate governance as a state-owned enterprise.
“This adjustment forms part of the company’s compliance with applicable regulations whilst ensuring corporate governance continues to operate optimally,” he said.
Beyond net income usage, share buyback, and Articles of Association amendments, the AGMS approved various other agenda items, including endorsement of the annual report and consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025.
Additionally, the meeting set remuneration for the Board of Directors and Board of Commissioners for fiscal year 2026, appointed public accountants for fiscal year 2026, and delegated authority to approve the Long-Term Business Plan (RJPP) 2026–2030 and Annual Business Plan (RKAP) 2027.
The meeting also received a report on realisation of fund usage from the Sustainability Bond First Tranche public offering in 2025, and reaffirmed delegation of shareholders’ authority to the Board of Commissioners regarding amendments to the Company Pension Fund regulations.
The decisions resulting from this AGMS are expected to strengthen BNI’s business fundamentals whilst maintaining the company’s growth momentum amid increasingly competitive dynamics in the financial services industry.
Through capital strengthening strategy, adaptive governance, and corporate policies oriented towards sustainability, BNI is confident it can continue creating added value for shareholders and supporting national economic growth.
