Mitihoon – KBank has announced a share repurchase project for financial management purposes, with a maximum amount not exceeding Baht 8,800 million and a maximum of 47.39 million shares to be repurchased. The shares will be repurchased through the automatic order matching system of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (the SET) during the period from 14 November 2025 to 13 May 2026 to enhance the efficiency of capital management, while maintaining a strong capital sufficient to support future business expansion.
Mr. Chongrak Rattanapian, President of KASIKORNBANK (KBank), stated that the Bank’s Board of Directors has resolved to approve the share repurchase project for financial management purposes, with a total amount not exceeding Baht 8,800 million and a maximum of 47,386,552 shares, representing no more than 2% of the Bank’s total paid-up capital. The repurchases will be executed via the SET’s automatic order matching system during the period from 14 November 2025 to 13 May 2026. The repurchase price shall not exceed the average closing price in the period of 5 consecutive business days prior to each repurchase date plus 15% of such average closing price. The funds for this share repurchase project will be sourced entirely from the Bank’s liquidity.
The objectives of the share repurchase is to optimize the Bank’s capital management by taking into account the adequacy of the capital, excess liquidity, and appropriate returns to the Bank’s shareholders. KBank currently maintains a strong capital adequacy ratio, sufficient to support future business operations under both normal and crisis conditions. As of the end of the third quarter of 2025, KASIKORNBANK FINANCIAL CONGLOMERATE’s capital adequacy ratio stood at 21.60%. The Bank has taken into account various factors for capital management approach, including market conditions, business performance, and capital level. The Bank believes that a share repurchase is one of the appropriate options under the current market conditions to further enhance capital management efficiency. The share repurchase will reduce the book value of shareholders’ equity and the number of the Bank’s outstanding shares. This will result in an increase in the return on equity (ROE) and earnings per share (EPS), thereby allowing the share price to better reflect its intrinsic value, which will directly benefit the Bank’s shareholders.
Mr. Chongrak reaffirmed the Bank continues to operate prudently and is committed to delivering sustainable value for all stakeholders, reinforcing the position as a most trusted bank. The Bank will continue to pursue the execution of K-Strategy 3+1 and focus on productivity improvement to reinforce its financial strength and generate long-term, stable, and sustainable returns.
