Disclosures

Shin Yongwoo, a non-registered executive (Managing Director, Planning Team) at Samsung Electronics, reported a change in his beneficial ownership of company shares. He purchased 50 common shares on the open market on May 20, 2026 at ₩278,000 per share, increasing his holdings from 786 to 836 shares. The total stake remains negligible at 0.00% of outstanding shares. This is a routine insider disclosure with no material impact on the company's share structure or strategic direction.

An amendment was filed to correct the previously reported share counts in an insider ownership disclosure. The reporter, Jo Misun (non-registered executive, Senior Vice President in the Finance Team), revised her holdings from 3,289 to 3,409 common shares after an open-market purchase of 120 shares on May 18, 2026 at KRW 269,500 per share. The position remains negligible at approximately 0.00% of total shares outstanding (6,735,612,586). This is a routine administrative correction with no material implications for the broader shareholder base.

This is an amendment to a previously filed insider ownership report for non-registered executive Henrik Johan Jansson (Strategic Marketing Team VP). The original report incorrectly stated his holdings as 2,443 shares (prior) and 3,046 shares (current); the correct figures are 337 shares and 937 shares respectively. The underlying transaction — an on-market purchase of 600 common shares at 168,000 KRW on April 2, 2026 — remains unchanged. This is purely a clerical correction with no change to the actual trade or economic substance, and the total holding remains negligible at 0.00% of outstanding shares.

Henrik Johan Jansson, a non-registered executive (Sangmu/Vice President) in the Strategic Marketing Team, increased his holdings by 500 common shares via on-market purchase on May 20, 2026 at ₩269,500 per share. His total stake rose from 937 to 1,437 shares, still representing less than 0.01% of total outstanding shares (6.74 billion). While the transaction size is small in absolute terms (~₩135 million), insider open-market buying is generally viewed as a positive signal of management confidence. The filing is a routine disclosure required under Korean securities law when insider ownership changes.

DB Inc., the largest shareholder of DB HiTek, reported a reduction in its combined holdings (including special-related parties) from 12,450,689 shares (28.55%) to 10,918,429 shares (25.03%), a decrease of roughly 1.53 million shares or 3.52 percentage points. The number of shares subject to major contracts remained unchanged at 9,396,010 shares (21.54%). The change reflects both a variation in special-related party holdings and the removal of Samdong Heungsan, Biltech, Shin Hae-cheol, and Kim Jae-young from the special-related party list after a May 19, 2026 court decision suspended the effect of the Fair Trade Commission's notice incorporating them into the 'DB' business group. The filing is made under Article 147 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act for purposes of influencing management control.

Cheonbo's subsidiary Cheonbo BLS has resolved to issue KRW 78.2 billion of unregistered, unguaranteed private convertible bonds (1.0% coupon / 4.0% yield-to-maturity, maturing 2033-05-29) to Mirae Asset Renaissance New Energy PEF. Proceeds will fund facility investment (KRW 54.74B) and working capital (KRW 23.46B). The conversion price is set at KRW 39,463 per share, potentially issuing up to 1,981,603 new shares (26.07% of total). Refixing terms include a performance-linked adjustment if FY2029 EBITDA falls below KRW 80 billion (floor at 50% of initial conversion price), plus standard dilution protections. A 30% call option (up to KRW 23.46B) and put option exercisable from year 5 are attached, with a qualified IPO covenant.

Samsung C&T Corporation, a key affiliate within the Samsung Group ownership structure, filed an updated major shareholding report on Samsung Electronics. Total holdings by Samsung C&T and its specially related parties decreased slightly from 1,151,561,084 shares to 1,151,513,080 shares, with the ownership ratio unchanged at 19.70%. Shares subject to major contracts (such as collateral or lending arrangements) declined from 63,584,000 shares (1.09%) to 49,359,000 shares (0.84%). The filing reflects both a small change in share holdings and a modification of related contracts, with no shift in the broader Lee family-led control structure over Samsung Electronics.

The largest shareholder group's combined holding decreased by 1,532,260 shares (-3.51%p), falling from 28.55% to 25.03% as of May 19, 2026. The reduction was not driven by share sales but by the dissolution of the special-relationship status of four affiliated parties — Biltech Co., Samdong Heungsan Co., and two affiliate executives (Kim Jae-young, Shin Hae-cheol) — following the suspension of their deemed-inclusion effect. DB Inc. remains the principal shareholder with 19.75% (8,613,783 shares), and no actual disposal of shares by the controlling family occurred. The change is technical/regulatory in nature rather than reflecting a shift in control or insider sentiment.
