SK Hynix Plans to Launch Trillion-Won Ultra-Large-Scale Shareholder Return Plan, with Choi Tae-won Personally Wagering

BlockBeats News, June 16th, according to a exclusive report by The Korea Economic Daily, SK Hynix plans to launch a mega-scale shareholder return policy of up to 100 trillion Korean won in the fourth quarter of this year. The specific measures include stock buybacks and cash dividends. This move is seen by the outside world as a major strategic bet by SK Group Chairman Choi Tae-won, aiming to enhance the company's position and valuation in the global capital market.

According to investment bank and semiconductor industry sources, SK Hynix's stock buyback this time will account for just over 2% of outstanding shares and will officially begin after completing its American Depositary Receipt (ADR) listing. The ADR listing is expected to be completed in mid-next month.

This mega-scale shareholder return plan is designed to dispel concerns from the outside world about potential dilution of existing shareholder value from the ADR listing, while further solidifying SK Hynix's market image as a top global semiconductor company.
