Woori FG Confirms Stock Exchange to Make Dongyang Life Wholly-Owned – Small-Scale Exchange Proceeds with Only 0.6% Opposition
- Woori Financial Group confirms comprehensive stock exchange to make Dongyang Life Insurance a wholly-owned subsidiary (exchange ratio based on Woori FG share price of KRW 34,589)
- Opposition period closed: only 4,396,004 shares (0.6% of total outstanding) opposed, well below 20% threshold, so small-scale exchange proceeds as planned
- SEC registration exemption: US investors hold less than 10% of remaining Dongyang Life shares, so Form-CB will be filed instead of Form F-4
- Dongyang Life's existing treasury shares to be cancelled before exchange; treasury shares acquired via appraisal rights will receive Woori FG shares
- Future merger between Dongyang Life and ABL Life under review (not yet decided)
- Special committee of independent directors established, approved exchange ratio and process as fair
- Contract may be terminated if appraisal rights exceed KRW 200 billion (conditional risk)
- Total of 8,696,875 new shares to be issued in the exchange
