The balances of unamortized fees and commissions relating to loans settled prior to maturity are recognized upon settlement.

x. Post-Employment Benefits

The estimated provision is based on the results of an independent actuarial valuation in accordance with Labor Law No. 132003 and the revised PSAK No. 24 regarding “Employee Benefits”. Bank Mandiri established a defined contribution pension plan covering substantially all of its eligible employees from August 1, 1999. It also supports defined benefit pension plans, which were derived from each of the Merged Banks’ pension plans. Bank Mandiri recognizes a provision for post employment benefits under the Labor Law No. 132003 regarding the settlement of labor dismissal and the stipulation of severance pay, gratuity and compensation in companies. The provision has been calculated by comparing the benefit that will be received by an employee at normal pension age from the Pension Plans with the benefit as stipulated under the Labor Law No. 132003 after deducting accumulated employee contributions and the results of its investments. If the pension benefit from the Pension Plans is less than the benefit as required by the Labor Law, the Bank will have to pay such shortage. Provision for employee service entitlements is accrued based on the results of an independent actuary’s valuation. Actuarial gain and loss is recognized as income or expense if the net cumulative unrecognized actuarial gains or losses at the end of the previous reporting period exceeded the greater of 10 of the present value of the defined benefit obligation at that date before deducting plan assets and 10 of the fair value of any plan assets at that date. The amount of actuarial gain or loss is recognized through the average remaining working period of the employee in the program. Past service cost arises when the bank introduces a defined benefit plan or changes the benefits payable under an existing defined benefit plan. Past service cost is recognized over the period until the benefits concerned are vested. PT BANK MANDIRI PERSERO TBK.
