3.	Dividend Information

As a financial holding company, we distribute dividends to our shareholders using the dividends we receive from our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries pay dividends to us within the limits of their distributable profits after deducting the necessary internal reserves required to maintain the adequate regulatory capital set by the financial authorities for each sector. As such, our dividend levels are determined based on a comprehensive analysis taking into consideration the current and future asset growth of our subsidiaries and us, as well as the surplus funds after maintaining the appropriate capital adequacy ratios, among others.

In February 2023, we announced our “Shareholder Return Policy and Group Capital Management Plan Based on the Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Ratio (including both dividends and treasury share buyback/cancellations)” through our investor relations disclosures. Furthermore, in our business report for the fiscal year 2023, we disclosed the modifications we made to our existing shareholder return policy, including an adjustment to the Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio target from 12% to 13%, taking into consideration the strengthened capital regulations, our enhanced loss absorption capacity, and the overall competitive landscape.

Accordingly, in 2023, for the first time since our establishment, we paid interim dividends (KRW 180 per share for the second and third quarters) and repurchased and canceled treasury shares worth KRW 100 billion. Additionally, we paid a year-end dividend of KRW 640 per share, achieving a TSR of approximately 33.8%. In 2024, we repurchased and canceled all remaining shares (9,357,960 shares) held by the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation for approximately KRW 136.6 billion, initiated quarterly dividends beginning in the first quarter (KRW 180 per share for each of the first, second and third quarters), and declared a year-end dividend of KRW 660 per share, achieving a TSR of approximately 33.3%. Furthermore, on February 7, 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to acquire and cancel more treasury shares (planned acquisition amount: KRW 150 billion) as part of our continual efforts to enhance shareholder returns.

On July 25, 2024, we became the first Korean bank holding company to announce a “Corporate Value Enhancement Plan,” in which we announced that we would strive to enhance corporate value by “enhancing shareholder return capabilities based on the CET1 ratio,” and presented a mid-to-long-term TSR target of 50%. Furthermore, through the February 7, 2025 disclosure relating to our “Corporate Value Enhancement Plan,” we released our review report for 2024 and our future plans for 2025. (For more details, please refer to our website (https://www.woorifg.com), the Financial Supervisory Service’s electronic disclosure website (https://dart.fss.or.kr), and the Korea Exchange’s electronic disclosure website (https://kind.krx.co.kr).)

A summary of the details of our shareholder return plans are as follows:

①

Simultaneously pursuing both cash dividends and treasury share buybacks/cancellations, and gradually increasing their amounts (continually increasing the DPS)

②

Dividing the CET1 ratio ranges into segments and increasing shareholder returns to enhance sustainability and predictability


Classification	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3	Tier 4
CET1 Ratio	~ 11.5%	11.5% ~ 12.5%	12.5% ~ 13.0%	13.0% ~
Total Shareholder Return (TSR)	~ 30%	~ 35%	~ 40%	~ 50%

Note 1)

TSR and DPS may change based on shifts in the financial environment, regulatory guidance, and management objectives (such as one-time profits and losses through mergers and acquisitions)

Note 2)

CET1 ratio ranges are based on year-end figures

③

Maintaining a dividend payout ratio of approximately 30% and allocating any excess amounts to treasury share buybacks/cancellations if the TSR is below 40%, and increasing both the cash dividend payouts and treasury share buybacks/cancellations in a balanced manner if the TSR exceeds 40%.

Additionally, the “Corporate Value Enhancement Plan Review Report” announced in February 2025 includes the following corporate value enhancement strategies:

1. Striving to achieve a CET1 Ratio of 12.5% in 2025 despite challenging market conditions, including high levels of exchange rates

2. Reallocating part of the capital surplus to retained earnings and using such funds to implement non-taxable dividends, thereby effectively increasing tangible shareholder returns.

Our shareholders are expected to approve a transfer of KRW 3 trillion worth of capital surplus to retained earnings at the annual general meeting of shareholders in March 2025. We expect to use such amount to distribute tax-free dividends, beginning with the year-end dividends for fiscal year 2025 (expected to be distributed in April 2026).

3. Expanding treasury share buybacks/cancellations, with KRW 150 billion planned for 2025.

4. Determining the dividend amount before the record date to increase visibility for investors, starting from the first quarter of 2025.

We are committed to faithfully implementing the corporate value enhancement plans that we had previously announced, and will continue our efforts to enhance market predictability and shareholder value. If there are any changes to the shareholder return policy, we will actively communicate them with all stakeholders through notices and disclosures.

According to our Articles of Incorporation, the amount of our year-end dividends are determined through a meeting of the shareholders, while the amount of our quarterly dividends are determined through a resolution of the Board of Directors. We revised our Articles of Incorporation on March 24, 2023 to allow the record date for annual dividends to be set after the amount of such dividends has been determined, and we plan to further amend our Articles of Incorporation at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be held on March 26, 2025 to improve the dividend payment procedures for quarterly dividends also.
