As such, the actual number and the aggregate amount of shares to be cancelled are subject to change based on future changes to the price of the Company’s shares. • The aggregate amount to be cancelled set forth in Item 4 above is the anticipated amount as of the date of resolution by the Board of Directors. • The reference to the method of acquisition of shares to be cancelled set forth in Item 6 above relates to the acquisition of treasury shares through a share repurchase agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”). For details relating to the acquisition of treasury shares, refer to the Form 6-K entitled “Decision to Enter into Share Repurchase Agreement” furnished by the Company on July 27, 2023. The Company plans to cancel approximately Won 200 billion of treasury shares acquired through the Share Repurchase Agreement. • The scheduled date of the Share Cancellation set forth in Item 7 above is subject to change based on restrictions on the share ownership ratio applicable to non-Koreans under relevant laws and regulations and the schedule of termination of the Share Repurchase Agreement. • The determination of further specifics required for the Share Cancellation will be delegated to the representative director.
