Jakarta, March 28, 2012 (ANTARA) - PT Bank Danamon Indonesia Tbk. (Danamon) held its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGMS) today, which, among others, approved the bank’s annual report and financial statements for the 2011 financial year, in which the bank recorded Rp 3.336 trillion in consolidated net profit after tax (NPAT). The NPAT was supported by strong lending growth in the mass market, small and medium enterprises (SME) segments as well as a rise in fee income.
The AGMS also approved dividend payment for the 2011 financial year of Rp 1,000,879,800,000 or approximately Rp 104.43 per share, or around 30% of the bank’s consolidated net profit after tax (NPAT) for 2011. Meanwhile, 1% of the profit or Rp 33,362,660,000 will be set aside as a general reserve in accordance to Indonesian Limited Company Law. The remaining profit will be recorded as retained earning.
In September 2011, Danamon conducted an Rp 5 trillion rights issue. The rights issue, which recorded a 113% subscription rate, raised the bank’s consolidated capital adequacy ratio (CAR) from 16% in a year earlier to 17.5% by the end of 2011, which is well beyond the regulatory requirement of 8%.
In today’s AGMS, Danamon reported the realization of the rights issue proceed, which was allocated for automotive financing and credit facilities for small and medium business sector as well as the micro business sector.
The AGMS has also released authorization to the Board of Commissioners to engage the Public Accountant for financial year 2012, taking into account the recommendation from the Audit Committee.
