Korea Technology Group to Change Company Name to 'Korea & Company Corporation'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] Hankook Technology Group, the holding company of Hankook Tire, is set to change its name to 'Hankook & Company.'

Hankook Technology Group announced on the 14th through a public disclosure that it will convene a shareholders' meeting on the 29th. The agenda for this meeting includes a proposal to amend the articles of incorporation to change the current name, 'Hankook Technology Group Co., Ltd.,' to 'Hankook & Company Co., Ltd.' If the proposal is approved at the shareholders' meeting, the new name will be applied immediately.

Hankook Technology Group is currently engaged in a legal dispute over the company name with Hankook Technology, a KOSDAQ-listed company with the same name. Previously, the court partially accepted an injunction request filed by Hankook Technology to prohibit the use of the name.

While Hankook Technology Group plans to change its name at this shareholders' meeting, it intends to continue legal procedures, including appeals, against Hankook Technology in the future.
