Pamicell Donates 600 Million KRW in Cash and 10,000 Shares to Employee Stock Ownership Association

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Pharmicell announced on the 17th that it will donate 620 million KRW in cash and 10,000 shares from the major shareholder's holdings to the employee stock ownership association (ESOA) free of charge.

Pharmicell explained that the decision to contribute to the ESOA aims to continue mutual growth by sharing the fruits of growth with employees who possess expertise.

A Pharmicell representative said, "Since Pharmicell is a bio-pharmaceutical company with high potential for sustainable growth, we expect that the introduction of the ESOA system will enhance employees' sense of ownership and positively contribute to wealth formation. Our goal is to continuously invest a portion of the company's net profit into the ESOA so that it can play a role as a major shareholder."

The shares contributed to the ESOA will be equally distributed to employees who have joined the ESOA. All shares will be mandatorily deposited with Korea Securities Finance Corporation. The mandatory deposit period is four years, during which the shares cannot be sold, so this contribution is not expected to have an immediate impact on the securities market.

Meanwhile, the ESOA has positive effects not only for employees but also for the company and shareholders. The company can expect a virtuous cycle where employees' motivation to work increases, improving overall productivity, which can lead to an increase in the company's intrinsic value.
