The expected issue price of 27,900 won is 24.5% below the current market price of 36,950 won, and the dilution rate of 30.8% based on pre-offering shares of 171.89 million indicates significant shareholder value dilution.

The record date for the rights is June 16, 2026, and the new shares are expected to be listed on August 11, 2026. No shareholder return measures such as treasury stock acquisition or cancellation were disclosed.
