KT ( (KT) ) has shared an update.
On February 10, 2026, KT Corporation’s board unanimously approved a decision to enter into a KRW 250 billion trust contract to repurchase its own shares as part of its KT Corporate Value-Up Plan. The trust, to be executed through NH Investment & Securities, is scheduled to run from March 10, 2026 to September 9, 2026, with the acquired treasury shares to be fully cancelled after the contract ends.
Based on a reference price of KRW 59,300 per share, KT expects to buy around 4.2 million shares, adding to its existing 10.9 million treasury shares, though the final number will vary with market prices. The move is aimed at enhancing shareholder value and tightening the share count, and KT noted that, depending on the 49% foreign ownership cap under telecom regulations, the cancellation of shares acquired under this resolution could occur at the earliest feasible time.
