Board of Directors

The MCNEX Board of Directors serves as a key decision-making body that executes major business operations, provides opinions on significant management matters, and oversees the execution of business activities. Pursuant to Article 35 of the MCNEX Articles of Incorporation, the Board consists of three or more directors, and Independent Directors are appointed in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.
As of the end of March 2026, the Board consists of one Executive Director and three Independent Directors, including one female Independent Director currently serving. Effective from March 2026, the roles of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) have been separated to enhance the independence of the Board. Additionally, MCNEX operates several committees within the Board: the Audit Committee, the Internal Transactions Committee, the Independent Director Candidate Nomination Committee, and the ESG Committee. To ensure the fairness and independence of the Board, these committees are structured entirely with Independent Directors.

Board of Directors Expertise

MCNEX stipulates in its Corporate Governance Charter that the Board's expertise must be considered when appointing directors. Accordingly, MCNEX appoints professionals with diverse experience and specialized knowledge as members of its Board of Directors. Furthermore, MCNEX provides stakeholders with a Board skills matrix detailing the areas of expertise of its members. As of March 26, 2026, its three Independent Directors are experts in fields such as finance, future technologies, and risk management.

Board of Directors Independence

In accordance with Article 35 of the company's Articles of Incorporation, MCNEX's Board of Directors is composed of one Executive Director and three Independent Directors. Independent decision-making is ensured as Independent Directors constitute at least one-fourth of the total Board members. Furthermore, the regulations of the Independent Director Candidate Nomination Committee and Article 77 of the Stock Market Listing Rules stipulate the criteria for assessing the independence of Independent Director candidates.

Board of Directors Management

The MCNEX Board of Directors' meetings are categorized into regular meetings, held periodically, and extraordinary meetings, held when significant business matters arise. Additionally, based on the company's Articles of Incorporation, the Board has enacted the Board of Directors Regulations, which specifically define the Board's authority, composition, and operating procedures, and operates in accordance with these regulations.
As a general principle, resolutions of the Board are passed by a majority vote of the directors present, with a quorum being the attendance of a majority of all directors. However, for matters related to Article 397-2 (Prohibition on Usurpation of Corporate Opportunities) and Article 398 (Prohibition on Self-Dealing) of the Commercial Act, a resolution requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the total number of directors. The proceedings of every Board meeting are recorded in minutes, which are subsequently maintained and archived.

Committees under the Board of Directors

MCNEX operates the Audit Committee, the Internal Transactions Committee, the Independent Director Candidate Nomination Committee, and the ESG Committee as sub-committees under its Board of Directors. To ensure independence, all sub-committees—including the Audit Committee, the Internal Transactions Committee, the Independent Director Candidate Nomination Committee, and the ESG Committee—are composed exclusively of Independent Directors, including their chairpersons.

Composition of Board Committees

Director Appointment

MCNEX prohibits discrimination in its director appointment process based on grounds such as gender, race, nationality, or cultural background. When appointing Independent Directors, the Independent Director Candidate Nomination Committee comprehensively reviews the qualifications of candidates—including their expertise, ethics, and integrity—and their compliance with the company's independence requirements. The final appointment is then made via a resolution at the General Meeting of Shareholders. For the appointment of Executive Directors, the most suitable candidates from among non-registered executives are recommended based on their expertise, vision, and leadership, with the final appointment also made through the General Meeting of Shareholders.
On March 26, 2025, following its Independent Director appointment process and based on shareholder proposals, MCNEX appointed a total of two Independent Directors, Park Gil-jae and Yun Seok-jin, who possess expertise and experience that meet the candidate criteria.

Board Evaluation and Compensation

MCNEX evaluates its Independent Directors based on qualitative indicators that consider comprehensive aspects such as their Board meeting attendance rate, whether they provide expert opinions, and their engagement in proper decision-making processes. Currently, this evaluation is not reflected in the decision for reappointment, but it is used as reference material by considering the Independent Directors' activities, level of participation, and proactiveness. Moving forward, the company is in discussions to introduce an objective and fair evaluation method based on the individual activities and performance of Independent Directors, and is reviewing how to reflect these evaluation results in reappointment decisions.
Director compensation is determined within the overall compensation limit approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders and is based on internal standards approved by the Board of Directors. It is calculated by comprehensively considering factors such as position, leadership, expertise, contribution to the company, and the level of legal responsibility. The compensation for Independent Directors is set at a reasonable level, taking into account compensation levels in the peer industry and the time commitment required for their Board activities. This is also determined within the overall director compensation limit approved at the General Meeting of Shareholders.

Shareholder Return Policy

To enhance corporate value and maximize shareholder returns, MCNEX disclosed its Corporate Value-up Plan on the Electronic Disclosure System (DART) in March 2026. Its key medium-to-long-term development strategies are to achieve growth in scale—aiming for KRW 2 trillion in revenue by 2030—and solid profitability improvement, based on fostering high-value-added new businesses such as mobility and robotics, and strengthening cost competitiveness through process automation. In addition, by balancing investments for future growth and the enhancement of shareholder value, MCNEX plans to continuously maintain a dividend payout ratio of 25% or higher, while simultaneously enhancing its credibility within the capital market and its corporate value through professional IR activities and transparent information disclosure.

The dividend per share for 2025, deliberated by the Board of Directors, was set at KRW 1,000 after a comprehensive review of the year's profit levels, annual cash flow, and future strategic investments. A total of KRW 16.2 billion in dividends was paid out. The average dividend yield for the past three years was 3.2%, and MCNEX will continue to strive to maximize shareholder value going forward.
