KT announced on the 15th that it has confirmed the dividends for the second quarter of this year at 600 won per share. The dividend standard date is set for the 30th, and the scheduled payment date is August 14.
KT has introduced a 'dividends first, investment later' system this quarter, which had previously been applied only to the settlement of account dividends. This improvement allows investors to check the dividends and their amounts in advance before making investment decisions. KT noted that 'investors can confirm the size of the dividends beforehand and make more rational investment decisions.'
KT has been operating an 'online dividends inquiry service' since last year. From August 8, users can access the KT corporate website and go through a personal identification process to check the second quarter dividend details.
Jang Min, KT's chief financial officer, said, 'Through a transparent and predictable dividends policy, we will achieve both sustainable management and enhanced shareholder value' and added, 'We will continue to strengthen trust with the market through proactive shareholder return policies.'
