[Edaily Reporter Kwon Oh-seok] #Seoul Evaluation Information announced on the 10th that it has decided to sign a trust agreement for the repurchase of 1.2 billion won worth of its own shares to strengthen its shareholder return policy.

The company plans to cancel both the newly acquired treasury shares and the existing treasury shares it currently holds. It intends to continue pursuing shareholder-friendly policies by linking the acquisition and cancellation of treasury shares.
Previously, on March 3, Seoul Evaluation Information canceled 355,000 treasury shares, representing approximately 1% of its total issued shares. This latest treasury share acquisition is also being pursued as an extension of its shareholder return policy through share cancellation.
The company is also maintaining a consistent dividend policy. Seoul Evaluation Information paid a cash dividend of 80 won per common share for the fiscal year 2025, and announced in March that it qualifies as a high-dividend company, with an average dividend payout ratio of 56% over the past two years on a consolidated basis.
The trend of improved performance is also evident. Seoul Evaluation Information’s consolidated net income for 2025 increased by 153% year-over-year, marking a significant improvement in profitability. Based on this improved performance, the company plans to strengthen communication with the market by establishing plans to enhance corporate value and disclosing its value-up initiatives.
An official from Seoul Evaluation Information stated, “We will pursue a balanced approach to our shareholder return policy and corporate value enhancement plan,” adding, “We will strive to strengthen communication with the market and meet shareholders’ expectations.”
