- Cancellation of all treasury shares leads to approximately 3% improvement in EPS, exceeding the KOSDAQ market average
- Company to continue expanding shareholder returns over the mid-to-long term, improving ROE and advancing ESG management
January 16, 2026 (Fri)
Sandoll Inc. (CEO Youngho Yun), a content creator platform company, announced that it has completed the full cancellation of treasury shares worth approximately KRW 4.4 billion, totaling 415,145 shares, on January 15, as part of its efforts to enhance share price stability and shareholder value.
Following the treasury share cancellation, Sandoll’s earnings per share (EPS) are estimated to improve by approximately 3%. This exceeds the average EPS improvement level of around 2% typically observed in the KOSDAQ market following treasury share cancellations.
Previously, on December 17, Sandoll resolved at a board meeting to cancel all treasury shares held by the company by January 15, 2026, and disclosed the decision accordingly. On the scheduled cancellation date, the company completed the cancellation of all 415,145 treasury shares, thereby finalizing the process.
The canceled shares represent approximately 2.7% of Sandoll’s total outstanding shares. As a structural effect of the reduced number of shares outstanding, improvements in key profitability indicators—including EPS and return on equity (ROE)—are expected even if overall earnings remain unchanged. In particular, the EPS improvement exceeding the KOSDAQ average is viewed as evidence that Sandoll’s capital policy is delivering tangible results in terms of shareholder value enhancement.
In addition to treasury share cancellations, Sandoll continues to pursue shareholder-friendly initiatives such as dividends and stock dividends. The recent cancellation is particularly meaningful as it reflects responsible capital management based on a sound financial structure, and forms part of the company’s strategy to promote the simultaneous growth of corporate value and shareholder value from a mid-to-long-term perspective, rather than responding to short-term share price fluctuations.
Sandoll also considers this action to be a key execution measure within its mid-to-long-term shareholder value enhancement strategy based on ESG management principles, as well as a step toward accelerating sustainable management. Over the mid-to-long term, the company plans to improve ROE through efficient capital allocation and expanded shareholder returns, while strengthening a sustainable earnings structure grounded in ESG principles.
A Sandoll representative stated, “This treasury share cancellation is the result of a mid-to-long-term policy decision made with shareholder value enhancement as a core management principle,” adding, “We will continue to pursue responsible management and consistent shareholder return policies based on financial stability.”
Meanwhile, Sandoll has recently raised its shareholder return ratio and continues to strengthen shareholder return policies, including dividends. These efforts, implemented alongside treasury share cancellations, are intended to enhance the predictability and consistency of shareholder returns and are expected to contribute to the expansion of the dividend investor base over the mid-to-long term.
In addition, with the scheduled introduction of a separate taxation system for dividend income beginning in 2026, Sandoll is increasing its dividend payout ratio to enhance the likelihood of meeting the applicable requirements. As the dividend record date has not yet occurred, dividend rights will be equally granted to shareholders who hold shares prior to the record date. Accordingly, Sandoll shareholders are positioned to comprehensively consider both the company’s strengthened shareholder return policies and changes in the tax environment.
