Karachi: Habib Metropolitan Bank Limited has announced the successful crediting of its final cash dividend at Rs. 4.50 per share, equivalent to 45%, for the year ended December 31, 2025. This announcement follows the approval at the Annual General Meeting held on March 30, 2026, with dividends being electronically transferred to the bank accounts of shareholders who have submitted their Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) and valid International Bank Account Number (IBAN).

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the final dividend is in addition to the interim cash dividend of Rs. 7.50 per share, totaling Rs. 12.00 per share or 120% for the year. This development marks a significant financial distribution to shareholders, aligning with the bank’s commitment to providing returns to its investors.

The bank has withheld dividends for those shareholders who have either provided incorrect or incomplete bank account details or have not submitted the required valid CNIC and IBAN. In compliance with Section 242 of the Companies Act, 2017, and the Companies (Distribution of Dividends) Regulations, 2017, these shareholders must provide the necessary documentation to receive their dividends.

Shareholders who have yet to receive their dividends are urged to contact the Bank’s Share Registrar or the Central Depository Company of Pakistan to provide the necessary documentation. The bank provides a Dividend Mandate Form on its website for this purpose, facilitating the process for shareholders to update their information.

The shareholders have access to the Centralized Cash Dividend Register (CCDR), developed by the Central Depository Company of Pakistan, to retrieve their dividend details for record purposes. The bank assures that once the required details are submitted, the withheld dividends will be processed accordingly.
