Samsung Asset Management filed an abbreviated large-shareholding report disclosing that its stake fell from 7.16% to 5.92% as of June 1, 2026, a decrease of 610,707 shares (-1.24 percentage points). The reduction was driven by simple buying and selling activity during March 2026, including on-market sales and ETF-related adjustments, with the holdings classified as simple investment (no management influence intent). The reported figure includes 1,581 shares delegated to Samsung Active Asset Management. With the stake now near the 5% disclosure threshold, further selling could trigger an exit from mandatory reporting, signaling continued institutional outflow.
