Note 1)

Our common shares of 680,164,306 were issued in January 2019 upon our establishment and the number of our common shares increased by 42,103,377 as a result of a comprehensive stock exchange that took place between Woori Financial Group and Woori Card in September 2019.

Note 2)

The number of our common shares increased by 5,792,866 on August 10, 2021, as a result of a comprehensive stock exchange to integrate Woori Financial Capital as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Note 3)

The number of our common shares increased by 32,474,711 on August 8, 2023, as a result of a comprehensive stock exchange to integrate Woori Investment Bank and Woori Venture Partners as wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Note 4)

On October 30, 2023, the number of our common shares was reduced by 8,585,799 due to the cancellation of our treasury shares acquired through a trust agreement.

Note 5)

On March 22, 2024, the number of our common shares was reduced by 9,357,960 due to the cancellation of all of the treasury shares acquired from the Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Note 7)

On June 18, 2026, the number of our common shares was reduced by 5,986,638 due to the cancellation of our treasury shares acquired through a trust agreement.

Note 8)

As the treasury share cancellations in October 2023, March 2024, September 2025 and June 2026 were conducted within the limits of profits available for dividends, there was no reduction in paid-in capital. Accordingly, our paid-in capital as of December 31, 2023, 2024, 2025 and June 30, 2026 did not match the par value of the total number of issued shares.

Note 9)

The number of our common shares increased by 8,696,875 on August 11, 2026 as a result of a comprehensive stock exchange that took place on August 11, 2026 to integrate Tongyang Life Insurance as a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Note 1)

Due to Woori Financial Group’s establishment through a comprehensive stock transfer, the issue price was calculated by dividing the total equity from its financial statements at the time of establishment (KRW 17,966,458,911,689) by the total number of issued shares (680,164,306).

Note 2)

Our capital changed in September 2019, August 2021 and August 2023 due to a comprehensive stock exchange. The issue prices were based on the closing stock price on the comprehensive stock exchange date.

Note 3)

On October 30, 2023, we canceled the 8,585,799 common shares we acquired as treasury shares through a trust agreement. This share cancellation falls under the provision of Article 343, Paragraph 1 of the Commercial Code, and as it involves the cancellation of treasury shares acquired within the limits of distributable profits, the paid-in capital remains unchanged despite the decrease in the number of the total issued shares (common shares).

Note 4)

About the Board of Directors

 

a.

Composition of the Board of Directors

As of June 30, 2026, our board of directors consisted of eight directors in total, including seven independent directors and one standing director.

On March 23, 2026, at the annual general meeting of shareholders, three independent directors and one standing director were appointed.

- New independent directors (2): Yong-Geon Jung, Jung-Hye Ryu / Reappointed independent director (1): In-Sub Yoon / Reappointed standing director (1): Jong-Yong Yim

On March 23, 2026, two (2) independent directors completed their terms: Eun-Ju Lee, Sun-Young Park

The board of directors operates a total of seven standing committees: Audit Committee, Risk Management Committee, Compensation Committee, Officer Candidate Recommendation Committee, Ethics and Internal Controls Committee, Subsidiary Representative Director Candidate Recommendation Committee, ESG Management Committee.

At the 4th Board Meeting held on March 23, 2026, the independent director In-Sub Yoon was appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Having served for more than four years since his initial appointment in 2022, he possesses a deeper understanding of our organizational culture and management issues than anyone else. Furthermore, during his previous tenure as Chairman of the Board Directors (March 26, 2025 – March 23, 2026), he contributed to the smooth operation of the Board of Directors. As a former CEO with hands-on experience in the financial industry, he is expected to contribute significantly to our development by offering practical and well-balanced insights. In recognition of this, he was reappointed as Chairman of the Board of Woori Financial Group with the unanimous consent of all board members. The Chairman of the Board does not concurrently hold the position of CEO.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company operates a performance-based stock-linked compensation system, pursuant to the standards established by the shareholders at the shareholders’ meeting and the Compensation Committee. The Company initially determines, for each recipient, the maximum share amounts that can be granted under the system, and then determines the final share amounts based on an evaluation of the long-term performance indices over four years (including the current year). The compensation is then paid in cash, based on the final share amount and the share price at the time the compensation is granted. The long-term performance indices include relative shareholder return, common equity ratio, return on equity, profit for the period, cost-to-income ratio, non-performing loan ratio and individual performance evaluations. For further information, please refer to the notes to the financial statements.
