Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the ex-dividend dates (June 11, 2019 for Regular/Negotiation Market; June 12, 2019 for Cash Market) and the payment date (June 27, 2019).
- Confirm the total dividend payout of Rp163.8225 per share (Cash + Special) against current share prices to assess yield.
- Review the full 2018 Annual Report and audited financial statements to analyze revenue and profit trends, as this summary only lists the total net profit appropriated.
- Monitor the transition period for the new Board of Directors and Commissioners to assess strategic continuity.
- Check tax withholding implications, particularly for offshore investors requiring specific forms to avoid the 20% Article 26 withholding tax rate.
