Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) was selected as an "Excellent Disclosure Corporation in the Securities Market for 2025" at the awards ceremony hosted by the Korea Exchange on the 5th. Provided by Korea Aerospace Industries.

The Korea Exchange annually selects excellent disclosure corporations by comprehensively evaluating all listed companies in the securities market based on the accuracy, timeliness, and appropriateness of their disclosures, as well as the proactiveness of their investor relations (IR) activities.

KAI received high marks for being the first defense company to implement a corporate value enhancement plan (Value-Up Disclosure) and to announce a medium-term dividend policy, thereby strengthening trust with investors. In addition, KAI proactively responded to the mandatory English disclosure policy in advance, improving investor access to information.

The company explained that this award recognizes not only the accurate implementation of disclosures but also the establishment of trust with investors through voluntary disclosure of corporate information. In particular, KAI's efforts to enhance investor understanding by taking into account the unique characteristics of the aerospace industry received positive evaluations.

Companies selected as excellent disclosure corporations are granted several benefits, including a five-year grace period from being designated as an unfaithful disclosure company, and exemptions from annual exchange fees and additional listing amendment fees for one year.

KAI was previously selected as an excellent disclosure corporation in 2014, and in 2020, it was named an outstanding company in the English disclosure category in recognition of its English disclosure performance, fair disclosure practices, and disclosure infrastructure.

Nam Yeonsik, Chief Financial Officer, stated, "This selection as an excellent disclosure corporation is recognition of KAI's commitment to transparent management and shareholder-oriented policies." He added, "As a company representing Korea's aerospace industry, we will continue to actively communicate with the market and take the lead in building trust in the capital market."

This year, a total of 12 companies were selected as excellent disclosure corporations, including KAI, Hanwha, Hana Financial Group, LG Uplus, GS Engineering & Construction, Yuhan Corporation, and LG Chem.
