Material Changes
- On February 26, 2024, the board did not terminate Changhyuk Kang as CEO for cause.
- Mr. Kang submitted his resignation as CEO on the same date, and the board accepted it.
- The board did not appoint TaeHoon Kim as interim CEO, contrary to the prior report by the company’s CFO in a February 28, 2024 Form 8-K.
