Alois Strengthens Management Transparency and Shareholder Value Protection by Appointing Two Legal Experts as Outside Directors
Alois, a company specializing in OTT set-top boxes, is working to improve its governance structure and protect shareholder rights by enhancing the independence and expertise of its board of directors.
On April 28, Alois announced through a public disclosure that it has nominated Song Tae-ho, partner attorney at Sun Law Firm, and Kwon Chan-hyuk, managing partner at F&L Partners, as new candidates for outside directors. This move is intended to strengthen internal controls and address market concerns in response to recent litigation related to a management dispute.
Candidate Song Tae-ho graduated from the Police University’s Department of Law (30th class), completed the Korea University Law School, and passed the 8th bar exam. He is currently a partner attorney at Sun Law Firm, having previously served as a law clerk at the Seoul Central District Court and Seoul High Court, and worked at Kim & Chang Law Offices. Kwon Chan-hyuk, who was recommended alongside Song, worked at the Prosecutor’s Office from 2006 to 2021, serving as Head of the Special Investigation Division 1 at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office and Head of the Financial Investigation Division 1 at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office. He has extensive experience in financial, securities, and anti-corruption investigations.
Alois plans to reinforce its board with legal and corporate governance experts to establish checks and balances and restore market trust. A company representative stated, “In light of the recent dispute, we made this decision to alleviate shareholder concerns and ensure transparency in corporate management,” adding, “By focusing on a board with guaranteed independence, we will advance our governance structure and concentrate all our efforts on responsible management so that the valuable rights of our shareholders are not infringed upon.”
