Unid Introduces Electronic Voting and Online Dividend Inquiry Service

Encouraging Active Shareholder Participation in Voting Rights

Unid, the world’s No. 1 company in the potassium-based chemical products market share, announced on the 29th that it will introduce an electronic voting system and an online dividend inquiry service as part of its ESG management practices.

Unid, which has been conducting paper voting, will additionally implement the electronic voting system at the upcoming regular shareholders’ meeting next month. This will allow shareholders to exercise their voting rights online without attending the meeting in person, thereby expanding shareholders’ options for exercising their voting rights and encouraging active participation to strengthen shareholder rights.

Shareholders can register and verify their identity on Samsung Securities’ online shareholders’ meeting platform and exercise their voting rights on each agenda item. The electronic voting period is from 9 a.m. on March 18 to 5 p.m. on March 27. Except for the last day, voting rights can be exercised 24 hours a day during the period.

The dividend payment notification will also be converted to an online service. By reducing paper usage from the previous postal method, Unid will practice eco-friendly management and improve shareholders’ information accessibility and convenience by allowing them to easily check the latest dividend and expected dividend amounts anytime and anywhere. This also prevents personal information leakage caused by misdelivery.

Unid shareholders can easily check information after identity and account verification on the dividend inquiry site. From March 28, when the dividend is finalized, shareholders can confirm their dividend amount. The site is currently under construction and will be accessible through Unid’s official website once completed.

An Unid official stated, “Through the introduction of the electronic voting system and online dividend inquiry service, shareholders who had difficulty attending in person can now actively participate in management. We will strengthen ESG management by collecting diverse shareholder opinions and engaging in various activities to enhance shareholder value.”
