Cross-shareholdings policy

Our cross-shareholdings policy is outlined in Corporate Governance Policies as follows:

  1. The Company makes a decision every year on the continued holding of cross-shareholdings at the Board of Directors based on the policy described below and disposes of or reduces holdings of shares for which the rationality of their holding can’t be recognized.
    Company Policy
    The Company holds shares of other listed companies as Cross-Shareholdings, limited to where it can be determined to be reasonable in consideration of, among others, the necessity of it for business activities (e.g., to maintain and strengthen the relationship with the business partner), the status of the issuer, and the return on the capital cost.
  2. The Company, based on the policy of the preceding paragraph and internal standards, exercises voting rights upon making comprehensive judgment, from the perspectives of maximization of corporate value in the medium to long term of the other company to the Cross-Shareholding, the effect on the Group, etc.

Based on the above policy, the Board of Directors verifies the reasonableness of holding all listed shares held by the Company.
