6-K

Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. (SHG) filed a Form 6-K announcing the early termination of the trust agreement it executed on 6 February 2025 to repurchase its own shares. The trust, managed by NH Investment & Securities, had an original ceiling of ₩500 billion and an expected end-date of 6 August 2025. On 23 June 2025 the board resolved to close the arrangement because the planned repurchase had been completed ahead of schedule.

Upon termination, the company holds 10,347,131 common shares, equal to 2.1 % of total shares outstanding. These shares—plus any residual cash—will be transferred from the trust into SHG’s corporate account. No other classes of stock were acquired, and fractional shares acquired in earlier mergers remain negligible.

The disclosure contains no additional earnings data or capital actions. Investors should note that although the buyback has been finalised, future utilisation of the treasury shares (retirement, employee compensation, M&A currency, etc.) is not addressed in this filing.

Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. (SHG) ha presentato un modulo 6-K annunciando la cessazione anticipata dell'accordo fiduciario stipulato il 6 febbraio 2025 per il riacquisto delle proprie azioni. Il trust, gestito da NH Investment & Securities, prevedeva un tetto massimo di ₩500 miliardi e una data di scadenza prevista per il 6 agosto 2025. Il 23 giugno 2025 il consiglio ha deciso di chiudere l'accordo poiché il riacquisto programmato è stato completato in anticipo.

Alla chiusura, la società detiene 10.347.131 azioni ordinarie, pari al 2,1% del totale delle azioni in circolazione. Queste azioni — insieme a eventuali liquidità residue — saranno trasferite dal trust al conto aziendale di SHG. Non sono state acquisite altre categorie di azioni e le azioni frazionarie ottenute in fusioni precedenti restano trascurabili.

La comunicazione non include ulteriori dati sugli utili o azioni di capitale. Gli investitori devono considerare che, sebbene il riacquisto sia stato completato, l'uso futuro delle azioni proprie (cancellazione, compensi ai dipendenti, valuta per fusioni e acquisizioni, ecc.) non è trattato in questo documento.

신한금융그룹 주식회사 (SHG)는 2025년 2월 6일 체결한 자사주 재매입 신탁계약의 조기 종료를 알리는 Form 6-K를 제출했습니다. NH투자증권이 관리하는 이 신탁은 원래 한도가 5,000억 원이며, 종료 예정일은 2025년 8월 6일이었습니다. 2025년 6월 23일 이사회는 계획된 재매입이 예정보다 일찍 완료되어 해당 계약을 종료하기로 결의했습니다.

종료 시 회사는 10,347,131주 보통주를 보유하고 있으며, 이는 전체 발행 주식의 2.1%에 해당합니다. 이 주식들과 잔여 현금은 신탁에서 SHG의 법인 계좌로 이전될 예정입니다. 다른 종류의 주식은 취득하지 않았으며, 이전 합병에서 취득한 소수 주식은 미미한 수준입니다.

공시에는 추가적인 수익 데이터나 자본 조치가 포함되어 있지 않습니다. 투자자들은 재매입이 완료되었으나, 향후 자사주 활용(소각, 직원 보상, M&A 통화 등)에 관한 내용은 이번 공시에 포함되어 있지 않음을 유의해야 합니다.

Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. (SHG) a déposé un formulaire 6-K annonçant la résiliation anticipée de l'accord de fiducie conclu le 6 février 2025 pour le rachat de ses propres actions. La fiducie, gérée par NH Investment & Securities, avait un plafond initial de ₩500 milliards et une date de fin prévue au 6 août 2025. Le 23 juin 2025, le conseil d'administration a décidé de clôturer l'arrangement car le rachat prévu avait été achevé avant la date prévue.

À la clôture, la société détient 10 347 131 actions ordinaires, soit 2,1 % du total des actions en circulation. Ces actions — ainsi que tout solde de trésorerie résiduel — seront transférées de la fiducie au compte de la société SHG. Aucune autre catégorie d'actions n'a été acquise, et les fractions d'actions obtenues lors de fusions antérieures restent négligeables.

La divulgation ne contient pas de données supplémentaires sur les bénéfices ou les actions de capital. Les investisseurs doivent noter que, bien que le rachat soit finalisé, l'utilisation future des actions propres (annulation, rémunération des employés, monnaie pour fusions et acquisitions, etc.) n'est pas abordée dans ce document.

Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. (SHG) hat ein Formular 6-K eingereicht, in dem die vorzeitige Beendigung des Treuhandvertrags angekündigt wird, der am 6. Februar 2025 zur Rückkauf eigener Aktien abgeschlossen wurde. Der von NH Investment & Securities verwaltete Trust hatte eine ursprüngliche Obergrenze von ₩500 Milliarden und ein erwartetes Enddatum am 6. August 2025. Am 23. Juni 2025 beschloss der Vorstand, die Vereinbarung zu schließen, da der geplante Rückkauf vorzeitig abgeschlossen wurde.

Bei Beendigung hält das Unternehmen 10.347.131 Stammaktien, was 2,1 % der ausstehenden Aktien entspricht. Diese Aktien – sowie eventuell verbleibende Barmittel – werden vom Trust auf das Firmenkonto von SHG übertragen. Es wurden keine weiteren Aktienklassen erworben, und anteilige Aktien aus früheren Fusionen bleiben vernachlässigbar.

Die Offenlegung enthält keine zusätzlichen Gewinnzahlen oder Kapitalmaßnahmen. Investoren sollten beachten, dass, obwohl der Rückkauf abgeschlossen ist, die zukünftige Verwendung der eigenen Aktien (Vernichtung, Mitarbeitervergütung, Währung für M&A usw.) in dieser Meldung nicht behandelt wird.

Positive
  • Early completion of ₩500 billion buyback demonstrates strong cash generation and efficient execution.
  • 2.1 % reduction in free float provides modest EPS accretion and potential ROE uplift.
  • Board action reinforces shareholder-return commitment, enhancing corporate governance perception.
Negative
  • No indication of additional repurchase plans; ongoing market support from trust buying ends immediately.
  • Lack of guidance on utilisation of treasury shares creates uncertainty around future capital allocation.

Insights

TL;DR – Completed ₩500 bn buyback early; 2.1 % of float now in treasury, modestly accretive, but no further repurchases signalled.

The early fulfilment of the trust indicates strong liquidity and disciplined capital management. Reducing free-float by 2.1 % is mildly EPS-accretive and may provide flexibility for share cancellation or future strategic deployment. However, because the agreement is now terminated, near-term buying support for the stock ceases; any incremental repurchase would need fresh authorisation. With Korean banks generally trading at low P/B levels, even small cancellations could enhance ROE. Impact is positive but limited given the size of the purchase relative to SHG’s ₩24 tn market cap.

TL;DR – Board executed planned buyback, improving capital allocation transparency; termination removes execution risk.

Completing the trust-based repurchase exactly as mandated enhances board credibility and signals commitment to shareholder returns. Holding the shares directly gives management flexibility on disposal or cancellation and reduces custodian fees. That said, the filing omits future disposition plans and does not state whether the board will refresh buyback authority, leaving governance observers seeking more detail.
