Pursuant to Article 341-4 of the Korean Commercial Act (effective March 6, 2026), which requires a company to cancel treasury shares held by it within one year from the date of acquisition, SFG has resolved to cancel one treasury share acquired in the previous comprehensive share exchange, together with the treasury shares(6,698,564 shares) acquired under this decision.
The above ‘1.Class and Number of Shares to be Cancelled’ represents the number of shares calculated by dividing the above ‘4.Estimated Amount to be Cancelled’ by the closing price of common shares of SFG as of the day prior to the resolution of the board of directors (July 22, 2026: KRW 104,500), and includes one treasury share acquired as a fractional share. The actual number of shares to be cancelled and cancellation amount may vary depending on changes in the share price during the acquisition period. SFG will disclose the final number of shares to be cancelled in a Form 6-K/A filing prior to the cancellation.
