K Wave Media (KWM) sets 2026 AGM on share consolidation, capital increase and Play deal exit
K Wave Media Ltd. has called its 2026 annual general meeting for July 10, 2026, to be held entirely online. Shareholders of record as of May 5, 2026 may vote on seven proposals.
The agenda includes re-appointing three Class I directors, approving a share consolidation of up to 30 existing ordinary shares into one new share with no more than US$0.1 par value, and increasing authorized share capital by creating 90,000,000 additional preference shares. Shareholders will also vote on changing the company’s name, adopting a Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to reflect these changes, and authorizing adjournment of the meeting if needed.
A key item seeks to terminate and rescind a prior share purchase agreement under which K Wave’s subsidiary acquired all shares of Play Company Co., Ltd. The termination would return 83,418 Play shares to the seller and release K Wave and affiliates from remaining payment obligations, including an outstanding amount of KRW 67,556,531,797. The board unanimously recommends voting in favor of all proposals.

K Wave seeks shareholder approval for major capital, governance and M&A clean-up moves.
K Wave Media Ltd. has scheduled a virtual AGM to approve board elections and several structural changes. Proposals cover a share consolidation of up to 30-for-1, a sizeable increase in authorized preference share capital, and a flexible company name change paired with fully restated governing documents.
The filing highlights a proposal to terminate the Play Company Co., Ltd. acquisition. K Wave’s subsidiary would return 83,418 Play shares, while the seller releases K Wave and affiliates from remaining obligations, including the outstanding KRW 67,556,531,797. The board frames this as enabling focus on an AI infrastructure strategy.
Additional context includes a standby equity purchase agreement permitting sales of up to $500 million in ordinary shares to Bitcoin Strategic Reserve KWM LLC, director and executive compensation levels, substantial insider ownership, and audit fees of $1,015,000 for 2025. Overall, the package reshapes obligations and capital flexibility, but its effect on future performance will depend on execution of the stated strategy.

You may, of course, attend the annual general meeting online and vote at the meeting even if you have previously voted online or submitted your proxy card or voting instructions.

| A: | Each of K Wave’s ordinary shares, par value US$0.0001 per share (or “Ordinary Shares”), issued and outstanding as of the close of business on May 5, 2026, the “Record Date” for the annual general meeting, is entitled one vote on each of the items being voted upon at the annual general meeting. The Record Date for the annual general meeting is the date used to determine both the number of Ordinary Shares that are entitled to be voted at the annual general meeting and the identity of the shareholders of record and beneficial owners of those Ordinary Shares who are entitled to vote those shares at the annual general meeting. On the Record Date for the annual general meeting, we had 78,514,509 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. |
5
You may vote all Ordinary Shares owned by you as of the Record Date for the annual general meeting, including (1) shares held directly in your name as the record holder of the Ordinary Shares, and (2) shares held for you as the beneficial owner of the Ordinary Shares through a broker, bank or other nominee.
| Q: | What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner? |
| A: | Most K Wave shareholders hold their Ordinary Shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially. |
Shareholders of Record
If your Ordinary Shares are registered directly in your name with K Wave’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the “shareholder of record,” and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by K Wave by mail. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to K Wave’s management or to vote in person at the meeting online. K Wave has provided a proxy card for you to use.
Beneficial Owners
If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with voting instructions. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or nominee how to vote your Ordinary Shares and are also invited to attend the annual general meeting online.
Since a beneficial owner is not the “shareholder of record,” you may not vote these Ordinary Shares online at the meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your Ordinary Shares, giving you the right to vote the Ordinary Shares at the meeting. Your broker, bank or nominee should have provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your Ordinary Shares.
| Q: | How can I attend, vote and ask questions at the annual general meeting? |
| A: | You are entitled to attend, vote and ask questions at the annual general meeting online only if you were a K Wave shareholder as of the close of business on May 5, 2026, the Record Date for the meeting. The live audio webcast of the annual general meeting will also be available to other constituents, who will be able to attend the meeting online but will not be able to vote any shares or ask questions at the meeting. |
Shareholders of record as of the Record Date will be able to attend and participate in the meeting online by accessing www.cstproxy.com/kwavemedia/2026 and using the login instructions described below. Even if you plan to attend the meeting online, we recommend that you vote by proxy prior to the meeting, as described herein, so that your vote will be counted if you ultimately decide not to or cannot attend the meeting online.
Access to the Webcast of the Annual General Meeting. The live webcast of the meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 10, 2026. Online access to the webcast will open approximately thirty minutes prior to the start of the meeting to allow time for you to login and test the computer system.

| Q: | How can I vote my shares without attending the annual general meeting? |
| A: | Whether you hold shares directly as the shareholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the meeting. |
Shareholders of Record:
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by submitting a proxy by mail or by voting online, as follows:
Vote by Mail.
If you are a record holder of our shares, you will have received our proxy materials by mail, and you may vote by marking, signing and dating the proxy card included in such proxy materials and returning the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope that we have provided. The named proxies will vote your shares according to your directions. If you sign and submit the proxy card without indicating your vote, the named proxies will vote your shares in favor of the Company’s nominees named in this proxy statement and in favor of all other proposals outline in our proxy materials.
Vote Over the Internet.
Whether you have received your proxy materials by mail or the Notice by mail, you may authorize a proxy over the Internet by following the instructions in the proxy card attached to your proxy materials or Notice, as applicable. If you vote over the Internet, you do not need to return the proxy card attached to your proxy materials or the Notice, as applicable, to the Company by mail.

Beneficial Owners:
If you hold shares beneficially in street name, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker, bank or nominee.
| Q: | Can I change my vote? |
| A: | You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the annual general meeting. |
If you are the shareholder of record, you may change your vote by granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy), by providing a written notice of revocation to K Wave’s Secretary by mail, which must be received prior to your shares being voted in accordance with the earlier proxy, or by attending the annual general meeting and voting at the meeting online. Attendance at the meeting online will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.
For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the meeting and voting in person online at the meeting.
| Q: | Is my vote confidential? |
| A: | Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual shareholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within K Wave or to third parties, except (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, shareholders provide written comments on their proxy card, which are then forwarded to K Wave’s management. |
| Q: | What are the voting rights of K Wave’s Ordinary Shares? |
| A: | Holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders at the meeting. Holders of Ordinary Shares will be entitled to one vote per Ordinary Share on all matters voted on at the meeting. |
| Q: | How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the annual general meeting? |
| A: | No business may be transacted at any meeting of the Company unless a quorum is present at the commencement of business. The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy shall be a quorum at the annual general meeting. |
An ordinary resolution requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by such shareholders who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote in person or by proxy at the annual general meeting.
A special resolution requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote in person or by proxy at the annual general meeting.
The annual general meeting will be adjourned if a quorum is not present at the meeting.
8
For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker or nominee holding Ordinary Shares for a beneficial owner signs and returns a proxy, but does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. If a quorum is not present within half an hour of the time appointed for the annual general meeting, the meeting will stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other day, time and place as the Board may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the shareholders present will be a quorum. The chairperson of the annual general meeting may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. If the annual general meeting is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it will not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.
| Q: | How are votes counted? |
| A: | In the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees. For any other item of business, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” If you “ABSTAIN,” your vote will not be considered as a vote cast and will not be counted in determining the outcome of the vote on the proposal. |
If you provide specific instructions for a given item, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such item. If you sign your proxy card or voting instruction card without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board (i.e., “FOR” all of K Wave’s nominees to the Board (Proposal 1) and “FOR” Proposal 2, Proposal 3, Proposal 4, Proposal 5, Proposal 6 and Proposal 7).
If your broker holds your shares in its name (or “street name”), the broker is permitted to vote your shares on “discretionary” matters, even if it does not receive voting instructions from you. If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions on any of the remaining non-discretionary matters, such as the election of directors, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered votes cast on that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election of directors, assuming that a quorum is obtained.
| Q: | What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals? |
| A: | The affirmative “FOR” vote of at least majority of the votes cast by the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote at the meeting is required to approve each of the following proposals, being ordinary resolutions as a matter of Cayman Islands law: |
| (i) | Proposal 1 approving the appointment of the Company’s three Class I directors, Yang Kan Chong, Jaekeun (Jason) Kim and Ted Kim, for a term expiring at the third succeeding of annual general meeting of the Company following the 2026 annual general meeting of the Company; |
| (ii) | Proposal 2 that: |
| a. | the authorized share capital of the company be amended by the consolidation of up to thirty (30) issued and unissued existing ordinary shares of the Company, US$0.0001 par value each, into one (1) ordinary share of no more than US$0.1 par value each (the “Consolidated Ordinary Shares”) (the “Range”), such that (i) every up to thirty (30) ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each be consolidated into one (1) ordinary share with a par value of not more than US$0.1 each (the “Share Consolidation”), with the timing of implementation and final ratio to be set at a whole number within the Range to be determined by the board of directors of the Company in its sole discretion and such Share Consolidation to be further implemented and effected by the board of directors of the Company; |
9
| b. | upon the Share Consolidation becoming determined and effective, the authorized share capital of the Company be amended accordingly; |
| c. | all fractional entitlements to the issued Consolidated Ordinary Shares resulting from the Share Consolidation will not be issued to the shareholders of the Company and the Company be authorized to round up any fractional shares resulting from the Share Consolidation to the next whole number, such that each shareholder of the Company will be entitled to receive one Consolidated Ordinary Share in lieu of any fractional share that would have resulted from the Share Consolidation; and |
| d. | any director of the Company be and is hereby authorized to do all such acts and things and execute all such documents, which are ancillary to or in connection with the Share Consolidation, on behalf of the Company, including under seal where applicable, as he/she considers necessary, desirable or expedient to give effect to the foregoing arrangements for the Share Consolidation. |
| (iii) | Proposal 3 approving an increase of the Company’s authorized share capital from US$100,000 divided into 990,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each and 10,000,000 preference shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each, to US$109,000 divided into 990,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each and 100,000,000 preference shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each by the creation of an additional 90,000,000 preference shares of a par value of US0.0001 (the “Authorized Share Capital Increase”); |
| (iv) | Proposal 6 that the Share Purchase Agreement, dated March 31, 2023, between Hyeonseok Cho and K Enter Holdings, Inc., as amended, be rescinded and terminated; and |
| (v) | Proposal 7, the approval of the adjournment of the annual general meeting to a later date or dates to be determined by the chairperson of the annual general meeting, or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies, or if the Company’s Board of Directors determines before the annual general meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the other proposals. |
The affirmative “FOR” of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being entitled to do so, attend and vote at the meeting, is required to approve each of the following proposals, being special resolutions as a matter of Cayman Islands law:
| (a) | Proposal 4, as a special resolution, that the Company’s name be changed from “K Wave Media Ltd.” to such other name as may be determined by the board of directors of the Company; |
| (b) | Proposal 5, as a special resolution, the approval that, subject to the approval of the Share Consolidation, the Authorized Share Capital Increase and the Name Change, and entirely conditional upon the effectiveness of the Share Consolidation, the Authorized Share Capital Increase and the Name Change, the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company reflecting the Share Consolidation, the Authorized Share Capital Increase and the Name Change be adopted in its entirety and in substitution for and to the exclusion of the existing Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, with effect immediately prior to effectiveness of the Share Consolidation, the Authorized Share Capital Increase and the Name Change. |
| Q: | Is cumulative voting permitted for the election of directors? |
| A: | No. K Wave does not allow you to cumulate your vote in the election of directors. For all matters proposed for shareholder action at the annual general meeting, each Ordinary Share issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one vote. |
10
| Q: | What happens if additional matters are presented at the annual general meeting? |
| A: | Other than the six items of business described in these proxy materials, the Company is not aware of any business to be acted upon at the annual general meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxyholders, Ted Kim, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a nominee for the Board, and Yong Fang, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting. If for any unforeseen reason any of our nominees are not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxyholders will vote your proxy for such candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board, unless the Board chooses to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board. |
| Q: | What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? |
| A: | If you request a printed set of voting materials, you may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of these proxy materials and multiple proxy or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a shareholder of record requesting printed voting materials and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive. |
| Q: | How may I obtain a separate set of voting materials? |
| A: | If you share an address with another shareholder and request a printed set of voting materials, you may receive only one set of proxy materials unless you have provided contrary instructions. If you wish to receive a separate set of proxy materials now or in the future, you may contact us to request a separate copy of these materials at: |

In addition to the mailing of these proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies or votes may be made in person, by telephone or by electronic communication by our directors, officers and employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for such solicitation activities.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES AND BOARD MATTERS
K Wave is committed to sound corporate governance principles. These principles contribute to K Wave’s business success and are essential to maintaining K Wave’s integrity in the marketplace. K Wave’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Ethics are available under “Corporate Governance” in the “Documents & Charters” section of the Company’s website at www.kwavemedia.com.
Exemptions from Nasdaq Corporate Governance Rules
K Wave’s status as a “foreign private issuer” exempts it from compliance with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements if it instead complies with the statutory requirements applicable to a Cayman Islands exempted company. The statutory requirements of K Wave’s home country of Cayman Islands, do not strictly require a majority of its Board to consist of independent directors. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have an independent compensation committee with a minimum of two members, a nominating committee, and an independent audit committee with a minimum of three members. K Wave, as a foreign private issuer, with the exception of needing an independent audit committee, is not subject to these requirements.
Board Independence
The Board has determined that each of Yang Kan Chong and Jaekeun Kim has no material relationship with K Wave (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with K Wave) and is independent within the meaning of K Wave’s director independence standards, which reflect the Nasdaq director independence standards, as currently in effect.
The Board has determined that each member of K Wave’s Audit Committee has no material relationship with K Wave (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with K Wave) and is independent within the meaning of K Wave’s director independence standards. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee also satisfies K Wave’s Audit Committee member independence standards, which reflect applicable Nasdaq and SEC audit committee member independence standards.
Board Structure and Committee Composition
As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, K Wave is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards applicable to domestic U.S. companies; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.
Among other things, K Wave not required to have: (i) a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors; (ii) a compensation committee consisting of independent directors; (iii) a nominating committee consisting of independent directors; or (iv) regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors at least twice a year.
Accordingly, as of the date of these proxy materials, the Board has seven directors, two of which are independent, Yang Kan Chong (Chair) and Jaekeun (Jason) Kim. Further, K Wave has an audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), comprised of its two independent directors, Yang Kan Chong (Chair) and Jaekeun (Jason) Kim. During 2025, the Board held ten meetings and directors attended all Board meetings during 2025. The Audit Committee held two meetings and all members attended such meetings during 2025.
13
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Audit Committee charter is available under “Corporate Governance” in the “Documents & Charters” section of our website at www.kwavemedia.com.
K Wave’s Audit Committee is comprised of directors who satisfy applicable Nasdaq and SEC audit committee independence standards. The Board has determined that all members of the committee are financially literate, and that Yang Kan Chong qualifies as an audit committee financial expert.
The Audit Committee is responsible for:
| ● | Setting the direction for K Wave; overseeing management to ensure K Wave achieves its goals; and reviewing, monitoring, and approving K Wave’s overall operational, financial and strategic plans, operating objectives, and performance |
| ● | Ensuring that K Wave’s management maintains effective systems for timely reporting to the Board or appropriate Board committee and, where required, to the public, regarding: (i) K Wave’s financial and business plans, strategies, and objectives; (ii) K Wave’s financial results and condition and business segments; (iii) significant accounting, regulatory, competitive, litigation, and other issues affecting K Wave; and (iv) control systems to facilitate accurate and timely reporting of financial information to shareholders and compliance with laws and corporate policies; |
| ● | Continuously understanding the major risks related to K Wave’s business and overseeing management’s key risk decisions, including understanding the appropriate balance between risk and reward; |
| ● | Promptly disclosing to the Board any existing or proposed relationship with K Wave (other than service on the Board or Board committees) that requires disclosure under applicable listing standards or that could affect the director’s independence; |
| ● | Ensuring K Wave maintains an active dialogue with shareholders to ensure that their perspectives are thoughtfully considered; and reviewing appropriately submitted shareholder proposals and responding appropriately based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; |
| ● | Attending K Wave’s annual shareholders’ meetings, except when extraordinary circumstances make attendance impractical; |
| ● | Devising and maintaining human resource management systems and a corporate culture that promote compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and ethical conduct in K Wave’s business; |
| ● | Promoting K Wave’s long-term sustainable growth, including oversight of K Wave’s sustainability strategy; |
| ● | Selecting, evaluating, and compensating K Wave’s Chief Executive Officer and other senior executive officers, and approving director compensation, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee; |
| ● | Approving K Wave’s Chief Executive Officer succession plan based on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee and periodically reviewing with K Wave’s Chief Executive Officer succession plans for other senior executive officers; |
| ● | Reviewing the results of annual Board evaluations performed by the Nominating Committee to determine if the Board and its committees are functioning effectively; and |
14
| ● | Reviewing and approving all amendments to K Wave’s Articles of Association, bylaws, Code of Ethics, Corporate Governance Guidelines, and other corporate governance policies, based on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee. |
The Audit Committee works closely with K Wave’s management, internal auditors, and independent auditors. The Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from and receive appropriate funding from K Wave for any independent auditor, outside legal counsel and any other advisors, and the ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties. The Audit Committee meets at least quarterly, and holds such other meetings as are necessary or appropriate for the Committee to fulfill its responsibilities. Periodically, the Audit Committee meets separately with management, with internal audit personnel and with the independent auditors to discuss matters that the Committee or the other groups believe deserve Committee attention.

Director Qualifications
K Wave’s Corporate Governance Guidelines include Board membership criteria considered by the Board. Under these guidelines:
| ● | Directors should be persons of good reputation and character who act in accordance with high personal and professional ethical standards, including the policies set forth in the Company’s Code of Ethics; |
| ● | Each director should be free of any conflict of interest that might impair his or her ability to discharge his or her responsibilities as a director by virtue of other positions, activities or relationships; |
| ● | The Board will consider whether directors and candidates are independent under Nasdaq standards; |
| ● | Directors should maintain a professional life sufficiently active to keep them in contact with the markets and/or industries in which the Company operates. A significant change in principal position or title will be considered a reason to review the director’s continued membership on the Board; |
| ● | Directors should possess relevant educational background, experience, qualifications and skills to effectively manage and oversee the Company’s management, which may include senior executive level experience at a comparable company, experience in public service, professional service firms, or academic institutions. The Board believes that a Board that includes directors with diverse backgrounds and experiences provides a wide range of perspectives and viewpoints important to the Board’s effectiveness in overseeing the Company; |
| ● | Directors must be willing and able to devote sufficient time and attention to the effective performance of their duties and responsibilities, including time to study informational and background materials and prepare for meetings. Directors should arrange their schedules to be able to attend all scheduled Board and committee meetings. The Board will consider the participation and contributions of all directors in Board activities when considering recommendations for re-nomination; |
| ● | The Board will consider the results of annual Board evaluations in its Board refreshment strategy; and |
| ● | Acceptance of an additional board directorship in another company, not held at the time the director was elected or appointed, will be considered a reason to review the director’s continued membership on the Board. |
K Wave’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, which include a more detailed discussion of desired director qualifications, are available under “Corporate Governance” in the “Documents & Charters” section of our website at www.kwavemedia.com.
Leadership Structure
The roles of K Wave’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are currently filled by separate individuals. Pyeung Ho Choi is K Wave’s Chairman and Ted Kim is K Wave’s Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that the separation of the offices of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is appropriate at this time because it allows K Wave’s Chief Executive Officer to focus primarily on K Wave’s business strategy, operations and corporate vision. However, the Board does not have a policy mandating that the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer continue to be separated. The Board elects K Wave’s Chairman and its Chief Executive Officer, and each of these positions may be held by the same person or may be held by different people. K Wave believes it is important that the Board retain flexibility to determine whether the two roles should be separate or combined based upon the Board’s assessment of K Wave’s needs and leadership at a given point in time.
16
The independent Directors may meet without management present at regularly scheduled executive sessions. The current leadership model, when combined with the composition of the Board, the strong leadership of K Wave’s independent directors and Board committees and the highly effective corporate governance structures and processes already in place, strikes an appropriate balance between consistent leadership and independent oversight of K Wave’s business and affairs.
Role of the Board in Risk Oversight
The Board of Directors, as a whole, has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas conducted by relevant Board committees that report on their findings to the Board. The oversight responsibility of the Board and the Board committees is facilitated by management reporting processes designed to provide information to the Board concerning the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management’s risk mitigation strategies and practices. These areas of focus include compensation, financial (including accounting, reporting, credit, liquidity and tax), operational, legal, regulatory, compliance, political and strategic risks. The full Board (or the appropriate Board committee), in concert with the appropriate members of management within the Company, reviews management reports to formulate risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies. When a Board committee initially reviews management reports, the chairperson of the relevant Board committee briefs the full Board on the specifics of the matter at the next Board meeting. This process enables the Board to coordinate the risk oversight role, particularly with respect to risks spanning more than one operational area.
The Board committees may also oversee and evaluate particular areas of risk assessment and risk management within their respective areas of responsibility. The Audit Committee oversees risks related to the integrity of K Wave’s financial reporting, the performance of our independent auditors, and K Wave’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. See “Committees of the Board of Directors” above for further information on our Board committees. The Board’s role in risk oversight does not have a direct effect on the Board’s leadership structure.

In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person or entity and the percentage ownership of that person or entity in the table below, all shares subject to options or warrants held by such person or entity were deemed outstanding if such securities are currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date. These shares were not deemed outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or entity.
The percentage of our Ordinary Shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 78,514,509 Ordinary Shares outstanding as of the Record Date, not including the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them.
