Dividends

The Company established its Corporate Value-up Plan on July 26, 2024 and set the following key targets to be achieved by 2027. These targets included

ROE of 10%, ROTCE of 11.5%, CET1 ratio of 13.0%.

Increase the shareholder return ratio to around 50%

Reduce the number of shares to fewer than 500 million by the end of 2024, and further to 450 million by the end of 2027, thereby enhancing per-share vale.

Through a progress review of its target levels, the Company decided to maintain the previously established targets. However, in order to commence the full implementation of the corporate value-up plan in 2025, the Board of Directors resolved on April 25, 2025 to adopt the following plan.

Improve ROE by +50bp

Maintain a CET1 ratio of at least 13.1%

Achieve a shareholder return ratio of no less than 42%

Based on the 2025 implementation review and assessment, the Company’s ROE and ROTCE improved, driven by profit growth centered on banking and securities. Despite market volatility in exchange rates and interest rates, appropriate growth enabled the CET1 ratio to improve by more than 30bp compared to plan. In addition, through the consistent execution of shareholder return policies and an additional cash dividend to meet the requirements for separate taxation of dividend income for investors, the Company achieved an early realization of a 50% shareholder return ratio.

2025 financial results: ROE 9.1%, ROTCE 10.3%, CET1 ratio 13.35%, shareholder return ratio 50.2%, number of shares 477million, TBPS KRW 109,117.

For further details regarding the Company’s Corporate Value-up Plan, please refer to the voluntary disclosure titled ‘2025 Shinhan Financial Group Corporate Value-up Plan’ announced on April 25, 2025.
