BNK Financial Group Launches 'Value-Up Strategy Committee' to Improve Governance and Profitability

Focusing on External Experts,
Identifying Innovative Initiatives

BNK Financial Group has launched a dedicated committee aimed at management innovation and improvements in corporate governance, embarking on a drive to enhance its corporate value.

On April 15, BNK Financial Group (Chairman Bin Daein) announced the launch of the 'BNK Value-Up Strategy Committee.' The committee was established with the goal of reforming the group's structure and laying the foundation for sustainable growth.

The committee will focus on key tasks such as advancing the operation of the board of directors, strengthening transparency in management decision-making, and enhancing the compliance system, all with the aim of increasing the overall trustworthiness of the group.

Additional areas of review will include improving profitability and capital efficiency, establishing rational capital policies, and exploring ways to enhance shareholder value. Expanding productive finance and strengthening support for industrial finance will also be major topics of discussion.

Kim Kwangsoo, former Chairman of the Korea Federation of Banks, has been appointed as the committee chair. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of the financial industry and experience in coordination, he will oversee the operation of the committee and set its strategic direction.

As an external committee member, lawyer Jeon Hyunjung from LKB Pyeongsan will participate. Jeon, who previously served as a research judge at the Supreme Court and as a presiding judge specializing in corporate cases at the Seoul Central District Court, is expected to play a key role in the areas of corporate governance and compliance.

With the launch of the committee, BNK Financial Group plans to drive changes that will be tangible to the market, customers, and shareholders by simultaneously reorganizing its governance structure and improving its financial performance. The group also aims to strengthen its support for regional industries and the real economy, creating a structure that leads to increased corporate value.

Chairman Kim Kwangsoo stated, "We will contribute to enhancing corporate value by reducing unnecessary costs and presenting a vision for future growth."

A BNK Financial Group representative commented, "Value-up is not just about improving financial indicators—it is a process of building trust through management innovation and governance reform. We will incorporate feedback from external experts to identify actionable tasks and ensure these result in real changes on the ground."

BNK Financial Group plans to operate the committee on a regular basis to further develop key initiatives and implement them in stages.
