Exchange Holds Practical Roundtable to Promote Disclosure of Corporate Value Enhancement Plans

The Korea Exchange announced on September 8 that it will hold four practical roundtable meetings starting from this day to promote the disclosure of corporate value enhancement plans.

Recently, nearly half (49.8%) of the KOSPI market capitalization has participated in such disclosures, with continued participation mainly among large listed companies. However, in order to revitalize the capital market, it is necessary to expand active participation to all listed companies, including mid-sized and small enterprises.

The exchange explained that it decided to hold these roundtables to gather expert opinions from accounting and consulting firms, law firms, and foreign securities companies, which closely communicate with listed companies and overseas investors.

The exchange plans to collect opinions on various support measures and institutional suggestions that can facilitate the establishment and disclosure of corporate value enhancement plans by listed companies.

Following the roundtable held on this day, additional meetings are scheduled for September 17 and 24, and October 1.

The exchange stated, "We will continue to broadly gather feedback from various market participants and continuously supplement and develop the Value-Up Program. Through these efforts, we will actively support the establishment of a culture that respects shareholder value in our capital market."
