The board approved an interim cash dividend of ₩1,000 per common share and ₩1,000 per preferred share on August 27, for a total of ₩154.2bn — of which ₩3.0bn goes to the preferred class. Against LG Corp's 2025 net income of about ₩1.00tn that is roughly 15% of a year's profit, and about 0.9% of the ₩17.9tn market capitalization. The filing puts the yield at 0.9% on the common and 1.4% on the preferred. The record date is September 11 and payment is due September 23. No shareholder meeting is required; the board acted alone under the interim-dividend clause in the articles. What the filing does not say is whether this rate repeats at the full-year declaration.
This is the companion filing to the same day's dividend declaration. It fixes September 11, 2026 as the date on which the register is read to decide who receives the ₩1,000 per share interim dividend. The board resolved it on August 27 with four outside directors present. It carries no amount of its own — Korea splits a single dividend decision into two separate filings, one naming the money and one naming the date, which is why nearly every Korean dividend appears here as a pair. The stated legal basis is the interim-dividend clause of LG's own articles of incorporation.
LG Corp. is the holding company of the LG Group, one of Korea's four largest conglomerates. It owns controlling stakes in separately listed operating companies rather than running businesses itself: LG Electronics, which makes televisions, appliances and car components; LG Chem, whose main asset is the battery maker LG Energy Solution; LG Uplus, a mobile network operator; LG H&H in cosmetics and household goods; and LG Innotek in camera modules and semiconductor substrates. Its own revenue comes mainly from dividends from those subsidiaries and from brand royalties, plus a small consulting and IT services arm. Korea converted its conglomerates to holding company structures in the 2000s to make ownership transparent, and LG was the first to do it. For a US reader, think of a listed family holding vehicle whose value is the sum of its stakes, and which almost always trades well below that sum.
