- This above ‘1. Number of shares to be acquired’ is calculated by dividing the above ‘2. Estimated acquisition amount(KRW)’ by the ‘9. Estimated acquisition price(KRW)’. The actual number of shares may change depending on future stock price fluctuations.
- The above ‘7. Treasury stock holdings as of February 5, 2026 within the profits available for dividends’ is the treasury stocks acquired through a trust contract in 2025(July 31, 2025~ January 30, 2026) and is scheduled to be retired on February 6, 2026.
- The above ‘7. Treasury stock holdings as of February 5, 2026 for other reasons’ is the fractional shares acquired during the comprehensive stock exchange process (Orange Life, Neoplux, etc).
- The above ‘9. Estimated acquisition price(KRW)' is based on the closing price on the day before the board resolution date (February 4, 2026). Therefore, the actual acquisition amount may vary due to stock price fluctuations.
