AGM: Notice given only 2 weeks prior (code recommends 4 weeks), but electronic voting adopted (since 2025) and efforts to avoid peak dates.

2025 consolidated revenue: 650B KRW, operating loss 3.4B KRW, net loss 37.2B KRW, continuing losses. Total assets 587.1B KRW.
[AI Comprehensive Analysis]This is a routine governance disclosure with no immediate price impact. While positive aspects like dividend resumption and audit committee independence exist, the persistent operating losses and low governance compliance (46.7%) pose investment risks. Investors should note potential dilution (2.31%) upon exercise of the exchangeable bonds.
