Returning appropriate levels of profits to all shareholders is one of the most important management issues for the Company.

With respect to the distribution of profits, given the Company's responsibility as a certified broadcasting holding company, it will take into comprehensive account factors such as operating results, the dividend payout ratio, and an appropriate level of internal reserves, while also constantly being aware of the balance between strengthening and maintaining the Company's financial position and making investments for supporting increases in corporate value and growth strategies.

In accordance with this policy, the Company will use a dividend payout ratio of 30% as a guideline based on profit attributable to owners of parent, while aiming to achieve a stable dividend payout ratio of 40% over the medium to long term.
