- 1:1 bonus issue of common stock aims to deliver tangible shareholder returns
- Effective share buyback worth approx. KRW 2.2 billion by excluding treasury shares from issuance
- Strengthening shareholder-friendly growth strategy through AI-driven business expansion
July 21, 2025 (Mon)
Content creator platform company Sandoll Inc. (CEO: Youngho Yun) announced on the 21st that it will carry out a 100% bonus issue, allocating one new share for every one existing common share, as part of its initiative to enhance shareholder returns.
The bonus issue will be applied to 7,359,181 shares, excluding 415,145 treasury shares from the total 7,774,326 issued common shares. The record date for the new share allocation is August 6, and the new shares will be listed on August 26.
This measure is meaningful as it is designed to strengthen the value stability of existing shareholders' holdings. By excluding treasury shares from the allocation, Sandoll effectively achieves a quasi-cancellation of approximately KRW 2.2 billion worth of shares, reducing the treasury stock ratio from 5.34% to 2.74% of total issued shares.
This will result in an increase in the ownership ratio of existing shareholders, directly contributing to shareholder value enhancement. The increased number of shares in circulation is also expected to improve liquidity and market accessibility, potentially boosting overall trading activity.
Through this action, Sandoll aims to reinforce market trust in its shareholder return policy and maintain a long-term shareholder-friendly management stance.
The company’s decision is grounded in confidence built from robust performance and future growth prospects, and it serves as a strategic move to lay the groundwork for full-scale expansion into AI-driven new businesses and M&A activities.
In the first quarter of 2025, Sandoll achieved its highest-ever quarterly performance, reporting KRW 5.1 billion in revenue and KRW 1.8 billion in operating profit, marking year-over-year growth of 60% and 1,511%, respectively. This success is driven by increasing demand for fonts in short-form content and creator markets, expansion in customized font supply for enterprises, and solid growth in its font platform business. Revenue growth is expected to continue into Q2.
In addition, Sandoll is rapidly expanding into AI-powered new businesses. The company recently signed a strategic MOU with LG CNS to jointly develop a global design platform using generative AI. This initiative includes an AI-driven font generation and recommendation system, aimed at providing multilingual design solutions for global content creators.
Sandoll has consistently prioritized shareholder returns through stable dividend policies and treasury share buybacks, and the latest bonus issue aligns with this tradition while also tying directly into the growth potential of AI-driven business innovation.
A Sandoll spokesperson stated, “This bonus issue is both a sign of confidence in our business performance and a reflection of our strong commitment to grow together with our shareholders,” adding, “Amid the rapidly evolving digital content landscape, we will proactively respond by creating new industry opportunities through the convergence of AI technology and our design assets.”
Going forward, Sandoll plans to further advance its AI technologies across platforms, font production, and other domains, continuously strengthening its foundation for sustainable growth. The company will also pursue a range of shareholder return measures, including dividends and share buybacks, as part of its commitment to enhancing long-term shareholder value.
