DBS proposes bonus share issue for shareholders

The bank plans to give one bonus share for every 10 ordinary shared held.

DBS’ board has proposed a bonus issue for its current shareholders.

In its latest financial report, DBS proposed giving one bonus share to shareholders for every 10 ordinary shares they hold.

The bonus shares will qualify for dividends starting the Q1 2024 interim dividend. DBS expects it to “increase the pace of capital returns to shareholders.”

DBS expects that the annualised ordinary dividend will be S$2.16 per share over the enlarged share base, a 24% increase from 2023.

Meanwhile, based on the closing share price on 6 February 2024, the post-bonus annualised dividend yield would be 7.5%, the bank added.

The stepped-up capital returns reflect the Group’s strong capital position and are in line with the policy of paying sustainable dividends that rise progressively with earnings.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
