JAKARTA - PT Bank Mega Tbk (MEGA) will again disburse a jumbo dividend to its shareholders. The bank belonging to the conglomerate Chairul Tanjung will distribute 70 percent of the profit in 2021, as dividends that will be disbursed immediately to shareholders.

"If it is approved at today's GMS, we will distribute 70 percent dividends like last year. However, because our profits in the 2021 financial year increase, nominally shareholders will also receive more," said MEGA President Director Kostaman Thayib in a public expose. , Friday February 25th.

Bank Mega posted a profit of around IDR 4 trillion in 2021. This means that the total dividends that will be disbursed are around IDR 2.8 trillion. The money will be distributed to shareholders on March 23, 2022.

"That way, later investors will receive a dividend of IDR 402 per share," said Kostaman.

The attractiveness of the MEGA dividend for the 2021 financial year has also increased because the management promises that dividends will not only be given in cash. Instead, there will also be stock dividends.

"In addition to cash dividends, we will also provide stock dividends. Per 1,000 shares, we will receive 686 share dividends," said Kostaman.

For this statement, the crazy rich behind Bank Mega also get a jumbo blessing. As an illustration, PT Mega Corpora which is fully controlled by Chairul Tanjung owns 4.04 billion shares or 58.02 percent. With the announced dividend plan, one of Indonesia's richest people, Chairul Tanjung, has the potential to reap fresh dividends of Rp. 1.6 trillion.

Likewise, another richest person in Indonesia, namely Anthony Salim, who entered Bank Mega through the entity PT Indolife Pensiontama. With 5.7 percent ownership. Anthoni Salim through Indolife will reap a share of MEGA's profit of Rp. 159.7 billion. And the remaining 36.28 percent of the shares owned by the public will receive a dividend of Rp 1.01 trillion.

So far, Kostaman's dividend statement seems quite encouraging for investors. In today's trading break, MEGA's stock with a price of Rp. 9,975 has reflected a 2.84 percent strengthening from its opening position. The announcement of this large dividend also seems to have been anticipated by investors long ago.

As an illustration, MEGA first announced that the dividend agenda would be discussed through the GMS at the information disclosure on 3 February afternoon. Although, at that time the company had not disclosed that the 70 percent ratio would be maintained.

In this position, MEGA's share price is still at the level of Rp9,500 per share. This means, since the invitation to discuss dividends was announced, the issuer's shares have gone through an accumulation of 5 percent strengthening.

Meanwhile, in today's public presentation, MEGA's management implies that the company will continue to be committed to distributing dividends in the long term. The potential to increase is also relatively open, considering that the company has set a performance growth target that will continue this year.
