Samjong KPMG Holds Strategy Seminar to Improve 'Korea Discount'

Value-Up Program Webinar for Listed Companies
Scheduled for September 5
"Overcoming Korea Discount, Seeking Solutions"

Samjong KPMG announced on the 6th that it will hold a seminar to explore response strategies for listed companies to improve the 'Korea Discount.' This seminar will be held on September 5th and will focus on the future prospects of the Value-Up Program and corporate response measures targeting domestic listed companies.

The Value-Up Program aims to foster a corporate culture that respects shareholder value through the voluntary efforts of listed companies to enhance corporate value. Listed companies participating in this program are required to disclose their corporate value enhancement plans at least once a year. The government plans to actively encourage participation in the program by offering various incentives.

This webinar will enhance understanding of the Value-Up Program and present practical strategies that companies can implement. It will provide guidance on key considerations for drafting and disclosing corporate value enhancement plans, share analysis results comparing major indicators in the Korean, Japanese, and U.S. markets and their impact on corporate value. Additionally, it will examine how institutional investors utilize corporate value enhancement plans and their influence on investment decision-making.

In June, Samjong KPMG launched the 'Value-Up Support Center,' which provides total services such as disclosure consulting, management strategy, M&A, and capital policy establishment to enhance the corporate value of listed companies. The center is staffed with experts in disclosure support, management strategy, restructuring, and capital policy.

Shin Jang-hoon, head of the Samjong KPMG Value-Up Support Center, said, “We hope this webinar will help listed companies decide whether to participate in the Value-Up Program, and Samjong KPMG will continue to support corporate value enhancement plans through the Value-Up Support Center.”

Applications to participate in the seminar can be made on the Samjong KPMG website. Meanwhile, Samjong KPMG operates the 'Samjong KPMG Academy' to strengthen corporate accounting transparency and improve governance, and plans to continuously update useful information through the Value-Up section on the academy site.
