Approximately 4.45 billion KRW worth of treasury shares were canceled during the 28th period, reducing the number of outstanding shares and contributing to higher earnings per share and dividend per share.
The agenda to amend the articles of incorporation was passed as a special resolution, adding reasons for disposal of treasury shares, providing a basis for electronic shareholder meetings, and strengthening director responsibilities, improving governance.
The agendas to approve director and auditor remuneration limits were passed, but the absence of outside directors is a point of caution for investors.
