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 44th General Meeting of the Shareholders of NLB d.d.:

The 60.41 % of the shareholders with voting rights, who were present at today’s 44th NLB d.d. General Meeting, adopted numerous resolutions proposed by the Management or/and Supervisory Boards of NLB d.d., among them regarding the allocation of distributable profit from the previous year and re-appointment of an existing member to the NLB Supervisory Board.

The shareholders decided that part of the distributable profit would be paid out as dividends in a total amount of EUR 128,600,000.00, which is EUR 6.43 gross per share, on 24 June 2025.

As in the previous years, the second tranche in the same amount is expected to be submitted for approval at the General Meeting taking place towards the end of this year, subject to no material M&A activity becoming actionable, bringing the total payout in 2025 to EUR 257 million.

“Day by day, NLB continues to demonstrate that our investors, beginning with those who placed their trust in us during the IPO in November 2018, made a sound and rewarding decision. We remain fully committed to delivering long-term value, as reflected in the 17% increase of dividend payout available for distribution in two tranches in 2025. Building on this strong momentum, the recent achievement of NLB surpassing EUR 3 billion in market capitalization for the first time is another significant milestone – one that firmly positions our bank among the industry’s leading and most dynamic players in this part of the world,” commented NLB’s CEO Blaž Brodnjak after the General Meeting.
