Nexon to Cancel All Treasury Shares, Cutting Share Count by 4.4%

All treasury shares held at the end of January will be retired, reducing the total number of issued shares to an expected 792,078,539, a move that typically signals a focus on capital efficiency and may enhance per-share metrics for existing shareholders.
