DI Dongil, Leading by Example in 'Shareholder Value Management'

DI Dongil is gaining attention for its proactive shareholder value management, including its shareholder return policy.

DI Dongil announced on the 7th that at the 2025 regular shareholders' meeting to be held in March, an agenda related to the establishment of an audit committee will be submitted after review and deliberation by the board of directors.

To promptly resolve the trading suspension following the decision by the Korea Exchange Market Surveillance Committee on November 20 last year, on December 11, DI Dongil disclosed plans to strengthen management transparency through ▲establishment of an audit committee ▲resolution of concurrent director positions between the Jeongheon Foundation and the company ▲establishment of an ethics management committee ▲improvement of the internal accounting control system ▲enhancement of internal disclosure training, and stock trading resumed on December 12.

Accordingly, to implement the disclosed plans, the agenda related to the establishment of the audit committee will be submitted at the next regular shareholders' meeting after review and deliberation by the board of directors.

DI Dongil expects that by prioritizing the establishment of the audit committee, it will faithfully fulfill the role of checks and balances based on strengthened independence. Efforts to return value to shareholders and enhance shareholder value have continued since last year.

In November last year, the company completely canceled all treasury shares it held, amounting to approximately 242.6 billion KRW, or about 23.18%. This fully alleviated market concerns regarding the use of treasury shares and rewarded shareholders' trust.

Not stopping there, DI Dongil also announced at the end of November last year its plan to additionally purchase about 30 billion KRW worth of treasury shares for cancellation purposes by June this year. Treasury share cancellation is a representative shareholder return measure, as canceling treasury shares reduces the number of shares in circulation, thereby increasing the value of shareholders' equity.

A DI Dongil official emphasized, “We have decided to proactively introduce an audit committee for rational and transparent management and balanced decision-making,” adding, “We will establish a transparent audit system so that the audit committee can independently and faithfully perform its role of ‘checks and balances,’ and we will do our best to practice trustworthy management that meets the expectations of shareholders and the market.”
