[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Kim Jisun] Com2uS will conduct a special quarterly dividend worth about 14.9 billion won. It is part of the policy of enhancing shareholder value.
Com2uS announced a special quarterly dividend plan for 2023 on the 21st. Dividends per share are 1,300 won, with a total of 14.8628 billion won, and the dividend base date is the 30th.
Com2uS earlier announced a three-year treasury stock purchase, incineration and dividend policy by 2025. For three years, the company plans to secure 33% of its average operating cash flow (OCF, Operating Cash Flow) on a separate basis for the previous three years to purchase shareholder dividends and treasury stocks. Fifty percent of the treasury stock purchased is incinerated. Reflecting the successful investment in SM Entertainment this year, a total of 60.5 billion won has been decided as a policy resource to enhance shareholder value.
Com2uS acquired 990,000 shares of SM shares in October last year for an average of 67,700 won per share, and participated in the public purchase of Kakao in March and sold about 437,000 shares for 150,000 won. Com2uS secured a total of 65.7 billion won in cash through this. Com2uS' remaining SM shares of 554,000 are worth 55 billion won.
Com2uS paid an end-of-year dividend of 15.5 billion won, followed by an additional dividend of about 14.9 billion won. Following the purchase of 11.9 billion won worth of treasury stock, the purchase of 18 billion won worth of treasury stock is also underway as planned. It will also incinerate 128,665 shares of treasury stock, or 1% of the total issued shares, within the year.
