The company filed its 2025 Corporate Governance Report, reporting a 66.7% compliance rate with key governance indicators, up from the prior year due to newly adopted CEO succession and executive appointment policies. The board remains majority-independent (4 of 7 directors are outside directors), though the CEO continues to serve as board chair and the board lacks gender diversity. Consolidated revenue fell to KRW 1,639.1 billion (from KRW 1,865.6 billion) and net income declined to KRW 82.6 billion (from KRW 130.5 billion). The company improved dividend predictability by setting the record date (Feb 27, 2026) after the dividend confirmation date (Feb 5, 2026), but still does not publish a formal written dividend policy. Largest shareholder LX Holdings and two related parties hold 33.11%, with minority shareholders at 66.89%.

[000004] II. Corporate Governance Status
[100000] 1. General Corporate Governance Policy
a. Detailed explanation of the company's corporate governance policy direction and key considerations:
The company recognizes that the soundness and transparency of its governance must be ensured to sustain corporate growth, enhance corporate value, and protect the rights and interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. Accordingly, the company practices 'board-centered management' and strives to implement a corporate governance structure that secures management transparency, soundness, and stability, while pursuing checks and balances.
To establish sound governance and provide a check on management's executive authority, outside directors constitute a majority of the board (currently 4 out of 7 total directors are outside directors). The company's outside directors are composed of industry experts and accounting/finance experts, who, based on diverse backgrounds and expertise, conduct substantive review of board agenda items and efficient monitoring of management's execution of duties. These outside directors are selected transparently and fairly after thorough verification of legal disqualifications and any conflicts of interest with the company. Important decisions of the company are made through the board, and sufficient support is provided for directors' execution of their duties.
