Shinhan Financial Group reported that the board of its wholly owned subsidiary Shinhan Bank resolved to issue Write-down Contingent Capital Securities to help maintain regulatory capital under Basel III standards.
The securities are described as Basel III-compliant Tier 2 subordinated debt with a total issuance limit of KRW 200 billion. If Shinhan Bank is designated an insolvent financial institution under Article 2 of Korea’s Act on the Structural Improvement of the Financial Industry, the full amount of these contingent capital securities, including interest or dividends, will be written off without prior consent from related parties. Specific terms such as interest rate and final maturity have been delegated to the CEO of Shinhan Bank.
Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. reports that its board approved the cancellation of 5,537,098 common treasury shares, with an estimated cancellation amount of KRW 500,000,000,000.
The company plans to acquire these shares for cancellation on the Korea Exchange from February 9, 2026 to July 10, 2026, with the exact cancellation date to be determined. The resolution was adopted on February 5, 2026, and applies only to common shares; no preferred shares are involved.
Shinhan Financial Group plans a significant share buyback through a trust arrangement. On February 5, 2026, its board approved entering a trust agreement to acquire treasury shares with an estimated acquisition amount of KRW 500,000,000,000. The scheduled acquisition period runs from February 9, 2026 to July 10, 2026.
Under the Korean Commercial Code, the upper limit of profits available for dividends as of the end of the previous fiscal year is KRW 4,072,040,620,882, and the filing calculates a legal limit on treasury share acquisition of KRW 1,421,877,440,731 after reflecting prior buybacks and dividend decisions. This buyback program uses only part of that capacity, suggesting room for further capital returns if the company chooses.
Shinhan Financial Group has set the record dates and expected cash payment dates for its 2026 first, second, and third quarter cash dividends. This follows a change in Korean capital markets law that allows the Board of Directors to decide quarterly dividend record dates instead of using fixed month-end dates.
For 2026, the dividend record dates are April 30 for the first quarter, July 30 for the second quarter, and November 3 for the third quarter. The expected payment dates are May 29, August 28, and November 27, respectively, and may change after discussions with relevant institutions.
