Confirmation of Cancellation of Treasury Shares To Be Made Into Law by End of 2025 and a Loophole?

By Douglas Kim

  • On 25 November, the Democratic Party of Korea confirmed that the cancellation of treasury shares will be made into law by the end of 2025.
  • Companies that buyback their shares (as treasury shares) will be required to cancel them within one year of the buyback. 
  • There may be a LOOPHOLE if the company fails to cancel the treasury shares on time. Fine per director is only 50 million won and this may be too low.
