LG Uplus held a board meeting on Jan. 26 and decided on a year-end cash dividend of 410 won per share.
That brings LG Uplus' 2025 total dividend per share to 660 won, combining an interim dividend of 250 won and a year-end dividend of 410 won. The amount is up 10 won from the previous year.
The year-end dividend rose slightly as the total number of dividend-eligible shares declined through share buybacks while the total payout was maintained. LG Uplus disclosed in July last year that it would retire about 100 billion won worth of shares it already held and buy an additional 80 billion won worth of its own shares.
The record date for the dividend is March 31. The dividend will be paid within 1 month after final approval at a shareholders meeting.
LG Uplus will continue corporate value enhancement activities to implement the medium- to long-term goals announced through its 2024 value-up plan. At the time, LG Uplus presented medium- to long-term targets of an 8 to 10 percent return on equity, a shareholder return ratio of up to 60 percent and a debt ratio of about 100 percent.
