Shareholder Proposal Rights
The company implements a shareholder proposal rights system to project shareholder rights. According to Articles 363-2 and 542-6 of the Commercial Act, shareholders who hold at least 3% of the total number of voting shares or who have continuously held at least 1% for six months before the regular general meeting can propose certain matters for the agenda of the general meeting in writing or electronically at least six weeks prior to the previous year's regular general meeting.
Unless the content of the shareholder proposal violates laws, the company's articles of incorporation, or falls under the reasons for rejection specified in Article 12 of the Commercial Act Enforcement Decree, the board of directors must review the proposed items according to internal procedures and decide to include them in the agenda of the general meeting. The company must state the proposal in the notice of the general meeting. If requested by the proposing shareholder, the main content of the proposal must also be included in the notice, and an opportunity to explain the proposal at the general meeting must be provided.
