Five Candidates Including Ham Young-joo, Lee Seung-yeol, and Kang Sung-mook for Hana Financial Group's Next Chairman

Including 2 External Candidates... Final Selection of 1 Candidate Next Month

Hana Financial Group narrowed down its next chairman candidate pool (shortlist) to five people on the 23rd.

On the same day, Hana Financial held a Chairman Candidate Recommendation Committee (Chairman Recommendation Committee) meeting and selected current Chairman Ham Young-joo, Vice Chairman and Hana Bank President Lee Seung-yeol, Vice Chairman and Hana Securities President Kang Seong-muk, and two external candidates as the next chairman candidates. The list of external candidates was not disclosed.

The Chairman Recommendation Committee has been selecting candidates based on multi-faceted evaluations, recommendations of external candidates through external advisory institutions, and in-depth reputation checks. In particular, to ensure that external candidates are not relatively disadvantaged, a meeting was held exclusively for them to provide face-to-face contact opportunities with the committee members.

Chairman Recommendation Committee Chairman Lee Jeong-won stated, "The two external candidates are financial professional managers," and added, "At the candidates' request, their identities will remain confidential until the final announcement." The committee plans to hold a meeting in January next year to conduct presentations and interviews for each candidate based on 14 detailed evaluation criteria across four areas: entrepreneurship, vision, management strategy, and expertise, and then select the final candidate.
