**Alpha Bank Approves €148 Million Dividend Payment to Shareholders**
In a significant financial announcement, Greek lender Alpha Bank has confirmed that it will distribute a cash dividend of €148 million to its shareholders. This decision was made during the bank’s annual general meeting, which took place on June 26, 2026. The total dividend amount to be disbursed is €148,005,238.21, sourced from the bank's internal dividend reserves and other non-taxed profits.
Each shareholder is set to receive a gross dividend of €0.0655980839 per share. However, this figure excludes 59,018,043 treasury shares held by the bank. This latest dividend payment follows an interim dividend of €111,388,046.88 that was distributed in December 2025. When combined, the total profit distribution for the 2025 financial year reaches €259,393,285.09.
As per Greek tax regulations, the dividend is subject to a 5% withholding tax, which will reduce the net cash payment to shareholders to approximately €0.0623181797 per share.
Key dates have been established for the dividend distribution process. The ex-dividend date, which marks the first day that shares will trade without the entitlement to the dividend, is set for July 1, 2026. Following this, the record date for identifying beneficiaries will be July 2, 2026. The actual payment of dividends is scheduled to commence on July 8, 2026.
Alpha Bank has also outlined specific procedures for shareholders who are legal heirs of deceased shareholders or for those holding titles in institutions currently undergoing liquidation. These individuals are encouraged to contact Alpha Bank directly to facilitate the dividend collection process.
It is important to note that the right to collect the dividend will expire five years after the end of the year in which the right was established. After this period, any unclaimed funds will revert to the Greek State.
This dividend announcement reflects Alpha Bank's ongoing commitment to returning value to its shareholders, as the bank continues to navigate the complexities of the financial landscape in Greece and beyond.
