Material Changes
The Board of Directors resolved on July 25, 2025, to cancel approximately 11.5 million common shares held as treasury stock. This action will reduce the total number of issued shares but will not alter the total capital amount of the company, as the cancellation is limited to profits available for dividends under the Korean Commercial Code.
