Samick Musical Instruments Largest Shareholder Stake Rises to 47.05% via Open Market Purchases, Reinforcing Control

The largest shareholder group of Samick Musical Instruments acquired an additional 238,921 common shares through open market purchases from June 4 to June 10, 2026, increasing its total stake from 46.78% to 47.05%.
The purchases were made by the Samick Cultural Foundation, which together with affiliates such as Specco and individual major shareholder Kim Jong-seop, is strengthening friendly ownership and reinforcing management control.
This share change is the result of open market buying, not new share issuance or convertible bonds, so it does not dilute existing shareholders and has no direct negative impact on shareholder value.
