KT Corporate Events
KT Corporation has convened its 44th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for March 31, 2026 in Seoul, with voting rights granted to holders of common shares as of December 31, 2025. The meeting will cover FY2025 performance, audit results and governance items such as amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, director elections, director remuneration limits and approval of a treasury share ownership and disposal plan.
In its FY2025 business report, KT said it pushed an AICT transformation by launching new B2B AX services, bolstering AI, cloud and data center capabilities and pruning low-margin operations to enhance profitability. The group posted standalone revenue of KRW 19.324 trillion, operating profit of KRW 1.305 trillion and net profit of KRW 1.062 trillion in 2025, while growing 5G, MVNO, broadband and IPTV subscribers and improving performance across subsidiaries in cloud, real estate, media and digital banking.

On March 10, 2026, KT Corporation’s board approved the disposal of 106,657 common treasury shares at an indicative price of KRW 59,500 per share, for an estimated total of about KRW 6.35 billion. The sale, to be executed over the counter between March 11 and May 20, 2026, is intended to fund FY2025 long-term incentives for the representative director, inside directors and executive officers, as well as stock-based compensation for outside directors.
Following the disposal, KT’s treasury share position, previously 10,925,239 shares or 4.34% of total shares, will be reduced, modestly increasing the effective free float. The move underscores KT’s ongoing use of equity-based compensation to align management and director interests with shareholders, although the company cautioned that the final proceeds may differ from the estimate because the actual disposal price will depend on market closing prices at the time of sale.

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.

All seven outside directors were present and approved the decision, underscoring full board participation in the dividend-related governance process.
KT stated that shareholders of record will be identified solely based on this record date without closing the shareholders’ register, simplifying administrative procedures for investors.

On February 10, 2026, KT Corporation’s board of directors approved a quarterly cash dividend of 600 Korean won per common share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, implying a dividend yield of about 1.1% based on the recent average market price. The payout, totaling roughly 144.7 billion won for 241,096,446 eligible shares with a record date of February 25, 2026, continues KT’s pattern of 600-won quarterly dividends for 2025 and underscores its ongoing capital return to shareholders, although the final amount remains subject to external audit and approval at the upcoming general shareholders’ meeting.
The exact dividend payment date is expected to fall within a month after the annual general shareholders’ meeting, whose schedule has not yet been fixed. All seven outside directors attended the February 10 board meeting, signaling strong governance oversight as KT maintains a consistent dividend policy that may support investor confidence and income-focused shareholder interest in the Korean telecom group.

Governance and system reforms include a new CISO role, zero-trust architecture, enhanced monitoring and femtocell management, alongside continued shareholder returns via higher dividends, buybacks and portfolio “value up” initiatives ahead of a planned CEO transition subject to shareholder approval in 2026.

The shares, scheduled to be disposed of over the counter on January 28, 2026, will be used to fund Restricted Stock Unit grants for eligible employees, underscoring KT’s continued use of equity-based compensation while having only a minimal dilutive or balance-sheet impact given the limited volume relative to its total outstanding shares and existing treasury holdings, with the final disposal value subject to the market closing price on the transaction date.
