Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management disclosed that the Company will not participate in the proposed public offering of unsubscribed Kumho Investment Bank shares if subscriptions by other investors exceed 200,000,000 shares prior to the deadline. This threshold is critical because exceeding it would prevent the Company from obtaining a 30% or greater shareholding, which is the minimum percentage required for subsidiary treatment under Article 43-2(1) of the Financial Holding Companies Act of Korea. As of the filing date, the Company does not hold any shares or subscription rights of Kumho Investment Bank.
