"The dividends would be paid starting on July 5, 2012," he said.
Nelson said the amount of dividends to be paid by the company this year was almost equal to that of dividends distributed in the previous book year.

The meeting also agreed to allow the company to use its net profit to expand its business by increasing its production volume and building a new plant, he said.
Indocement posted a net profit of Rp3.59 trillion last year, a 11.5 percent increase compared to Rp3.22 trillion the year before.
