Approval for the Addition of a Direct Subsidiary – Korea Foss Securities Co., Ltd.

On May 3, 2024, Woori Financial Group Inc. (“Woori Financial Group”) disclosed that its board of directors approved a merger between its wholly-owned subsidiary Woori Investment Bank Co., Ltd. and Korea Foss Securities Co., Ltd. Woori Financial Group’s board of directors resolved that once the merger is complete, Korea Foss Securities Co., Ltd. will become a direct subsidiary of Woori Financial Group, while Woori Investment Bank Co., Ltd. will no longer be a subsidiary of Woori Financial Group, since it will cease to exist.

Woori Financial Group aims to enter the securities business through such merger, as a part of its efforts to expand its non-bank business portfolio.

Upon completion of the merger process, which will require approval from the Financial Services Commission and the shareholders of each company (or board resolutions in lieu of such shareholder approval), Woori Financial Group plans to separately disclose that it has completed the addition of a new direct subsidiary.
