To encourage shareholder participation, SK D&D holds its general shareholders’ meeting on a different date from those of the company’s major affiliates. In addition, to facilitate various methods of exercising voting rights, the company adopted an electronic voting system starting from the 17th Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting in 2021, and allows proxy voting as stipulated in its Articles of Incorporation.

The shareholders’ meeting is announced on the company’s website two weeks prior to the meeting date, along with detailed information on the agenda items, enabling shareholders to review proposals in advance. For important matters such as the appointment of executives or amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, each item is separated and disclosed individually. In particular, when the agenda includes the appointment of outside directors or audit committee members, the company discloses detailed information on each candidate’s professional background and reasons for nomination. This ensures transparency in board appointments and safeguards shareholders’ rights in the decision-making process.

At the 21st Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 25, 2025, a total of 11,835,473 shares (63.6% of shares with voting rights) were represented through in-person attendance, electronic voting, and proxy voting. Excluding the shares held by the largest shareholder and related parties, the number of shares represented was 6,004,168, accounting for 32.3% of the company’s total voting shares. All six agenda items presented at the meeting met the required conditions for resolution and were approved as originally proposed.

SK D&D is committed to enhancing shareholder value by returning profits to shareholders through both cash and stock dividends, as stipulated in its Articles of Incorporation. The company reviews and announces its dividend policy on a three-year cycle to ensure consistency and transparency. All matters related to dividends and payments are transparently disclosed through regular reports (such as annual and quarterly reports) and on the company website following resolutions by the Board of Directors and the General Meeting of Shareholders. Dividends are paid to shareholders within one month of final approval at the General Meeting.

Since 2022, SK D&D has implemented interim dividends to strengthen its shareholder-friendly management approach. In 2024, the company continued its progressive dividend policy of gradually increasing dividends per share (DPS) as part of its shareholder return strategy. Furthermore, for year-end dividends, SK D&D ensures a transparent and accountable process by finalizing the dividend amount in advance of the record date (March 31, 2025). Specifically, the dividend amount was confirmed on February 10, 2025, and formally approved at the regular General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 25, 2025.
