Hana Financial Group has held its first-ever meeting for individual shareholders, aiming to enhance communication with its investors. The company plans to regularly explain its shareholder return policies and corporate value enhancement strategies while gathering feedback from individual shareholders.
On November 5, Hana Financial hosted a meeting in Seoul's Samseong-dong, inviting over 30 individual shareholders.
This event marks a significant expansion of the company's investor relations activities, which have traditionally focused on overseas and institutional investors.
During the meeting, Hana Financial highlighted its plans to enhance corporate value and expand shareholder returns. The company has set a target return on equity (ROE) of 12% and aims to increase predictable shareholder returns based on its shareholder return framework.
Hana Financial announced a share buyback and cancellation plan worth 949 billion won for this year, along with a dividend payout plan that exceeds last year's by more than 10%. The company also noted that tax benefits will apply to the year-end dividend expected to be paid early next year.
Hana Financial aims to increase its annual dividend payout by more than 10% each year, continuing to enhance shareholder returns through dividends and share buybacks.
A Hana Financial representative stated, "We will regularize meetings with individual shareholders to consistently create opportunities for direct engagement and strengthen our trust with the market."
