[Convertible bond terms]
- Coupon rate (surface): 4.0%
- Yield to maturity: 4.0% annual compounded
- Maturity date: 2055-06-20
- Conversion ratio: 100.00%
- Conversion price (KRW/share): 21,556
- Method of determining conversion price: The base price is the higher of (i) the arithmetic average of the 1-month, 1-week, and most-recent-day volume-weighted average prices preceding the day before the board resolution and (ii) the most-recent-day VWAP. The initial conversion price is set at 100% of the base price, rounded up to the nearest KRW.
- Type of shares issuable upon conversion: Registered common shares of the issuer
- Conversion request period: 2026-06-20 to 2055-05-20
- Conversion price adjustment terms:
a. If, from the day after issuance until conversion is requested, the issuer issues new shares below market price via rights offering, stock dividend, or capitalization of reserves, or issues equity-linked securities (CBs, BWs, etc.) with an initial conversion/exercise price below market, the conversion price will be adjusted by the standard refixing formula. In a combined paid-in/bonus issue, if the paid-in issue price exceeds market, no adjustment is applied to the paid-in portion.
Adjusted price = Existing price × [{shares outstanding + (new shares × issue price / market)} / (shares outstanding + new shares)]
b. Definitions follow standard refixing conventions: shares outstanding measured the day before the trigger; new shares calculated assuming full conversion/exercise at the relevant price; bonus/dividend issue price treated as zero; "market price" is the base price or theoretical ex-rights price; fractions below KRW 1 are rounded up.
c. Adjustments due to merger, capital reduction, stock split/consolidation, or change in par value will be made such that the bondholder retains the share count it would have held if it had converted immediately prior. The adjustment date is the effective date of such corporate action.
d. Fractions below KRW 1 are rounded up; if the adjusted price falls below par, par becomes the conversion price.
