Hi Investment & Securities Holds Regular General Meeting of Shareholders... Son Wonjo Appointed Outside Director

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] Hi Investment & Securities announced on the 30th that it held the 33rd regular general shareholders' meeting at the International Conference Room of the Seoul Bankers' Hall.

At the shareholders' meeting, the financial statements were reported, and the agenda to appoint an outside director as an audit committee member was resolved as originally proposed.

The main contents of the financial statements included a consolidated net profit of 111.6 billion KRW and a cash dividend of 60 KRW per redeemable convertible preferred share, decided through a board resolution in February. The total dividend amount was 3.8 billion KRW.

For common shares, an interim dividend of 86 KRW per share, totaling 41.9 billion KRW, was paid last December.

Son Wonjo was newly appointed as an outside director who will serve as an audit committee member. He previously served as the president of the Daegu Regional Certified Public Accountants Association and currently serves as the CEO of Daegyeong Accounting Corporation and a member of the Gyeongsangbuk-do Local Tax Deliberation Committee. His term is two years. Yang Byungmin, an outside director who has been in office since October 2018, was reappointed as an outside director serving as an audit committee member for a one-year term.

CEO Kim Kyunggyu stated, "Last year, we expanded our equity capital to over 1 trillion KRW and achieved the best performance since our founding despite concerns due to COVID-19. Although the difficult business environment caused by COVID-19 will continue this year, we will actively and swiftly respond to external conditions to expand profits."
