5. Corporate Governance
Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors, which currently consists of one executive director, one non-executive director and 9 outside directors, has the ultimate responsibility for the management of our affairs.
Our board of directors are appointed in accordance with the Act on Corporate Governance of Financial Companies and related regulations. See “7. Directors, Executive Officers and Employees” for information about the member of board of directors.
Our board of directors meets on a regular basis to discuss and resolve material corporate matters. Additional extraordinary meetings may also be convened at the request of the chairman and chief executive officer or a director designated by the board.
• Committees of the Board of Directors
We currently have seven management committees that serve under the board:
Each committee member is appointed by the board of directors, except for members of the Audit Committee, who are elected at the general meeting of shareholders.
• Risk Management Committee
The Risk Management Committee currently consists of 3 outside directors, namely Song Seongjoo (Chair), Lee Yong Guk and Choi Young-Gwon. The committee oversees and makes determinations on all issues relating to our comprehensive risk management function. In order to ensure our stable financial condition and to maximize our profits, the committee monitors our overall risk exposure and reviews our compliance with risk policies and risk limits. In addition, the committee reviews risk and control strategies and policies, evaluates whether each risk is at an adequate level, establishes or abolishes risk management divisions, reviews risk-based capital allocations, and reviews the plans and evaluation of internal control. The committee holds regular meetings every quarter.
• Audit Committee
The Audit Committee currently consists of 3 outside directors, namely Kwak Su Keun (Chair), Yoon Jaewon, and Bae Hoon. The committee oversees our financial reporting and approves the appointment of and interaction with our independent auditors and our internal audit-related officers. The committee also reviews our financial information, audit examinations, key financial statement issues and the administration of our financial affairs by the board of directors. In connection with the general meetings of stockholders, the committee examines the agenda for, and financial statements and other reports to be submitted by, the board of directors for each general meeting of shareholders. The committee holds regular meetings every quarter.
• Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee currently consists of 3 outside directors, namely Choi Young-Gwon (Chair), Kwak Su Keun, Kim Jo Seol. At least one-half of the members of this committee must be outside directors and currently all members of Remuneration Committee are outside directors. This committee is responsible for reviewing and approving the management’s evaluation and compensation programs. The committee meetings are called by the chairman of this committee, who must be an outside director.
• Committee for Recommending Candidates for Independent Directors and Members of Audit Committee
The Committee for recommending candidates for independent directors and members of audit committee currently consists of 4 outside directors, namely Choi Jae Boong (Chair), Kim Jo Seol, Song Seongjoo and Jin Hyun-duk. Members of this committee will be appointed by our board of directors only to the extent necessary to recommend and nominate candidates for our outside director positions, audit committee members and related matters. However, when the procedure for final recommendation of outside director and audit committee member candidates commences, all outside directors are called to participate in the committee and in this case, all outside directors are deemed as enrolled. The committee meetings
are called by the chairman of this committee, who must be an outside director. This committee is responsible and authorized for: (i) establishment, review and reinforcement of policies for outside director and audit committee member selection, (ii) recommendation of outside director and audit committee member candidates for approval at the general shareholders’ meeting and (iii) continual recruitment and screening of potential outside director candidates.

Salary |

-The salary is paid monthly by dividing the total annual base salary and job allowance, which are determined by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee, within the compensation limit for directors resolved at the general shareholders' meeting. This determination takes into account factors such as position, duties, and contributions.
|
|
|
Bonus |
671 |
-The bonus consists of an annual performance bonus of 332 million won for 2023 and long-term performance bonuses (PS) of 144 million won and 195 million won, which were granted during the period of the individual's tenure as Vice President from 2017 to 2018. The 2023 annual performance bonus was paid in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the company's annual performance evaluation results based on the criteria established by the Compensation Committee in its first meeting of 2023. The long-term performance bonuses (PS) were also paid in the first quarter of 2024, with the final amounts calculated based on the company's performance over the four years following the grant and the stock price of the company's common stock at the beginning of the year, as determined by the criteria set by the Compensation Committee in each respective year.
-The CEO's annual performance bonus is determined by reflecting the performance evaluation grade, which is based on factors such as the level of achievement of the group's KPI targets, the group's absolute profit scale compared to the past five years, and the scores of the group's KPIs and strategic tasks. The final payment is made after confirming whether any deductions are necessary based on the company's risk management evaluation score.
-In 2023, although the group's net profit decreased by 6.4% year-on-year to 4.368 trillion won, the decrease was attributed to proactive provisions and financial support measures. Despite this, the company maintained strong profit-generation capabilities, with significant increases in non-interest income through the management of its securities portfolio, the launch of the group’s universal app "Super SOL," which improved customer convenience, and the enhancement of customer service through the establishment of an AI contact center, which increased the group's platform MAU. Additionally, the company laid the groundwork for an internal control system by preparing to introduce a proactive governance structure. Considering these factors, the annual performance bonus of 332 million won was paid.
-The long-term performance bonuses (PS) granted in 2017 and 2018 were finalized after four years, with the final amounts calculated based on the number of PS units acquired according to evaluation indicators, such as shareholder value and profitability, as well as the absolute profit scale of the group compared to previous years. The final amount was then adjusted based on the stock price of the company’s common stock at the beginning of the year, four years after the grant. |
