YEREVAN,May 20. /ARKA/. Unibank has announced a new issue of common shares totaling AMD 3.9 billion. By September 9, 2026, the bank plans to place 10 million shares.

After the placement of the shares, the bank plans to apply to the Armenia Securities Exchange (AMX) for the shares to be included in the B listing, as the free float already exceeds 10%.

Unibank consistently implements a dividend policy aimed at ensuring shareholder returns while maintaining sustainable growth and sufficient capital for the bank’s long-term development. Dividends for 2024 nearly doubled compared to the previous year, reaching AMD 7.8 billion. By the end of June, Unibank’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will take place, during which dividends for 2025 are expected to be approved.

According to the results of the first quarter of 2026, Unibank recorded a net profit of AMD 1.8 billion. The bank’s assets amounted to MD 395 billion, the loan portfolio – AMD 274 billion. Unibank became the first bank in Armenia to implement an artificial intelligence-based credit scoring system. The bank ranks among the country’s top five leaders in POS lending volume and holds a leading position in the number of issued POS loans.

Due to the significant improvement in the quality of its loan portfolio and profitability, Moody’s assigned Unibank a B1 long-term deposit rating with a “stable” outlook.
