LOTTE CHEMICAL Yeosu Plant Production Suspension for Maintenance with Reschedule Date Change... Normal Operations, Limited Impact on Shareholder Value

LOTTE CHEMICAL's Yeosu plant suspended all production from March 27, 2026, for routine maintenance, and the resumption date was revised from May 29 to May 27, 2026 (two days earlier)
The annual sales of the suspended plant in 2024 were approximately KRW 3.5117 trillion, accounting for 17.7% of total revenue
The company plans to minimize the sales impact during maintenance through inventory buffers, and other processes will resume sequentially after the NC process
This is a planned temporary shutdown for maintenance with no direct impact on corporate value or shareholder return policies (share buyback/cancellation, dividends, etc.)
[AI Comprehensive Analysis]This disclosure is merely a routine schedule change for regular maintenance. Considering the earlier resumption, it is not negative. Although there will be unavoidable revenue loss during the shutdown, inventory can offset it, resulting in a neutral impact on the stock price.
