Park Young Ok, CEO of Smart Income Co., has filed an abbreviated large shareholding report disclosing an increase in his combined stake in The Nature Holdings (KOSDAQ: 298540) from 7.68% to 8.48%, a gain of 115,425 shares (0.80 percentage points). The purchases were made entirely through on-market transactions between late July and early October 2026, with no control-seeking intent — the declared purpose remains simple investment. Park holds 1,169,352 shares directly while his affiliated company Smart Income Co. holds an additional 58,669 shares, for a combined 1,228,021 shares. Smart Income is a securities investment firm of which Park is the 96.8% majority owner and sole decision-maker, making the combined filing effectively a single-party accumulation. The continued steady buying by a known value investor is a modestly positive signal, though the scale is small relative to total shares outstanding.

Park Beom Joon, registered Executive Vice President at The Nature Holdings, purchased 1,022 common shares on the open market on July 3, 2026, at 5,945 KRW per share. His total holding increased from 2,356 to 3,378 shares, though his ownership ratio remains unchanged at 0.02% of the 14,486,386 total shares outstanding. The purchase was settled on July 3, 2026, and the report was prepared as of July 7, 2026. The transaction represents a modest incremental insider buy with no change in meaningful ownership concentration.

더네이쳐홀딩스 has secured an exclusive domestic distribution agreement with Brompton's UK headquarters to sell Brompton bicycles in South Korea, running from September 25, 2026 through December 31, 2031. The company already operates the Brompton brand under a licensing arrangement and is now expanding that relationship into the hardware/bicycle segment. Minimum committed investment over the contract period is KRW 25.2 billion (approx. USD 18–19 million), though the actual figure may vary with exchange rates and market conditions. The board approved the plan on July 7, 2026, the same day a press event was held at the company's new headquarters. Management expects the deal to enhance competitiveness and lift corporate and shareholder value over the mid-to-long term.

Individual investor Park Young-ok, CEO of Smart Income Co., increased his combined stake (including affiliate Smart Income) from 6.69% to 7.15%, acquiring 66,082 additional shares through open-market purchases between June 9 and June 17, 2026. The purchases were made at prices ranging from KRW 5,886 to KRW 7,395 per share, signaling continued accumulation by a well-known value investor. The stated purpose remains 'simple investment,' not management influence. Park personally now holds 979,313 shares (6.76%), while Smart Income holds 56,108 shares (0.39%), for a total of 1,035,421 shares.

Non-registered director Ahn Jae-woo (Director title) increased his holdings in the company by 550 common shares through two open-market purchases on June 8 and June 10, 2026, bringing his total to 2,000 shares. The buys were executed at KRW 6,100 and KRW 5,800 per share respectively. His ownership ratio remains at 0.01% of the 14,486,386 outstanding shares, so the change is economically immaterial but signals modest insider buying at recent price levels. The filing is a routine change-of-holdings report under Korean disclosure rules.

The company will host an Investor Relations (IR) meeting for individual shareholders on June 12, 2026, from 15:00 to 17:00 at its headquarters in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Individual investor Park Young-ok, CEO of Smart Income Co., reported increasing his combined stake (including specially-related party Smart Income) in the company from 6.22% to 6.69% as of June 8, 2026. The holdings rose by 68,951 shares to 969,339 shares, all acquired through open-market purchases. The filing is classified as 'simple investment' purpose, not for management control influence. Detailed transaction records show consistent accumulation between late March and early June 2026 at prices ranging from roughly KRW 6,300 to KRW 7,690 per share. Park Young-ok is a well-known value investor in Korea, and his continued buying signals confidence in the company at current price levels.

The largest shareholder, Park Young Jun, filed an amended 5%-rule disclosure after purchasing an additional 10,000 shares on the open market. Combined holdings with related parties rose from 5,844,238 shares (40.34%) to 5,854,238 shares (40.41%) out of 14,486,386 voting shares outstanding. The stated purpose is to influence management, consistent with his role as CEO and controlling shareholder. While the incremental purchase is small (0.07pp), insider buying by the controlling shareholder generally signals confidence in the company's outlook.

CEO and de facto controlling shareholder Park Young Jun acquired an additional 10,000 common shares through open-market purchases on May 28 and June 1, 2026, lifting his holdings from 3,268,470 to 3,278,470 shares (22.56% → 22.63%). The purchases were made at 6,600 won (1,000 shares) and 6,369 won (9,000 shares) per share, totaling roughly 64 million won. Insider buying by the top executive at current price levels is typically viewed as a signal of management confidence in the company's valuation. The transaction size is small relative to total shares outstanding (14,486,386), so the direct ownership impact is marginal.

The Nature Holdings has amended its 2022 disclosure on the acquisition of KRW 10 billion in convertible bonds issued by Barrel Inc., extending the bond maturity by one year from June 7, 2026 to June 7, 2027. The put option exercise window end date is correspondingly extended from March 7, 2026 to March 8, 2027, and the conversion request period end is extended from March 7, 2026 to May 7, 2027. The call option terms covering KRW 2.836 billion of the CB remain unchanged. All other acquisition terms — KRW 10.82 billion purchase price (4.91% of equity), 0% coupon / 2% yield-to-maturity, and KRW 8,732 conversion price — are unchanged. The amendment reflects a negotiated rollover of the investment rather than redemption at original maturity.

The largest shareholder, Park Young Jun (CEO), reported a change in major shareholding under Article 147 of the Capital Markets Act. Combined holdings by the reporter and special related parties increased by 2,323 shares, raising the total stake from 5,841,915 shares (40.33%) to 5,844,238 shares (40.34%) of the 14,486,386 voting shares outstanding. The change resulted from on-market purchases by the largest shareholder and share movements among special related parties. The reporting purpose is stated as exerting management control influence, with no specific plans currently disclosed regarding the ten matters under Enforcement Decree Article 154(1). The marginal 0.01%p increase is a routine update rather than a material accumulation.

Park Young Jun, CEO and de facto controlling shareholder of the company, purchased 3,123 common shares on the open market on May 19, 2026, at a price of 7,433 KRW per share. His total holdings rose from 3,265,347 shares (22.54%) to 3,268,470 shares (22.56%), an increase of 0.02 percentage points. No convertible bonds, warrants, or other equity-linked instruments were involved; the holding consists entirely of ordinary shares. While CEO open-market buying is generally interpreted as a positive signal of management's confidence in the company's outlook, the transaction size is small relative to the total shares outstanding of approximately 14.49 million.

Non-registered director Ahn Jae-woo reported acquiring 250 additional common shares via open market purchase on May 14, 2026, at 7,380 KRW per share. His total holdings increased from 1,200 to 1,450 shares, representing 0.01% of total shares outstanding (14,486,386). The transaction value is approximately 1.85 million KRW, a very small absolute amount. While insider buying can signal management confidence, the trivial size and minimal ownership stake make this disclosure largely symbolic with negligible market impact.

A non-registered executive (Managing Director Yoo Seung Yoon, appointed September 2024) increased his holdings from 200 to 500 common shares via an on-market purchase on May 15, 2026, at 7,460 KRW per share. The total transaction value is approximately 2.24 million KRW, and his ownership ratio remains effectively 0.00% of the 14,486,386 shares outstanding. While insider buying is generally a mildly positive signal, the trivial size of this purchase makes it largely symbolic rather than financially meaningful. The report was filed with the Securities and Futures Commission and Korea Exchange on the same day.

Director Ha Gi-joo (Managing Director) reported a change in his ownership of company securities. He acquired an additional 300 shares via on-market purchase on May 14, 2026 at 7,320 won per share, following an earlier exercise of stock appreciation rights for 11,400 shares at 8,500 won in January 2024. His total holdings now stand at 15,156 shares, or 0.10% of outstanding shares, up from 0.02% previously. The small recent open-market buy may signal modest insider confidence, though the position size remains minimal relative to total shares outstanding.
