NLB's Second Dividend of the Year Confirmed; Total Payout Reaching EUR 257.2 Million
In accordance with the provisions set out in the Rules of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange and the relevant laws, the NLB Management Board hereby announce the results of votes cast at the 45th General Meeting of the Shareholders of NLB d.d.:
This year's second General Meeting of NLB d.d. confirmed the confidence of the shareholders, who voted that the second tranche of dividends will be paid on December 23, 2025.
At today's 45th General Meeting 67.33% of shares with voting rights were present. Shareholders confirmed the payment of second dividend tranche in the total amount of EUR 128.6 million, which is EUR 6.43 gross per share. Together with the first tranche of the dividend in amount of EUR 128.6 million that was paid in June, the total dividend payout in 2025 amounts to EUR 257.2 million (12.86 EUR per share), cumulatively representing 50% of last year's profit and corresponding to a strong dividend yield of more than 7%.
It is important to note that dividend payouts are excluded from the capital base, meaning they do not impact NLB Group's capital ratios, which remain stable. In addition, on November 26, the bank successfully issued EUR 300 million of Additional Tier 1 notes, further strengthening and optimising its capital position. Following this transaction Tier1 and Total Capital Ratios were enhanced by more than 150 basis points to a strong Tier1 ratio of more than 16.5% and 19% (TCR), together with CET1 ratio above 14.5% all exhibiting more than 300 basis points surplus above the regulatory requirements.
NLB Group is thus well on track to deliver on its strategic ambition by the year 2030 - exceeding EUR 50 billion in total assets, revenues of more than EUR 2 billion, and profit of more than EUR 1 billion - while maintaining an attractive dividend payout ratio in the range of 50-60% of previous year's profit.
All interested stakeholders can find the proposed resolutions with clarifications and other materials and instructions for the General Meeting here.
This announcement will be available on the company's website (www.nlbgroup.com) as of 15 December 2025.
