LG Corp declares a ₩1,000 interim dividend, ₩154.2 billion in total

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.

LG Corp sets September 11 as the record date for its interim dividend

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.

A Korean dividend arrives as two filings: the board's cash-dividend decision (amount, record date, payment date) and, for year-end dividends, a shareholder-register closing notice.

How Korean dividends work

  • Record date and amount. Traditionally the record date was the fiscal year-end (December 31) and the amount was only set at the board meeting and AGM in February–March, so investors bought before knowing the payout. Under the 2023 procedure reform, companies that amended their articles now fix the amount first and set the record date afterwards; many large caps have adopted this, others still use the year-end date.
  • Ex-dividend. KRX settles T+2, so a share goes ex-dividend one business day before the record date. Year-end dividends are paid within a month of the AGM that approves them, typically April.
  • Interim and quarterly dividends need a provision in the articles; a minority of large companies pay quarterly, most pay once a year.
  • Withholding tax. Korea withholds 22% (20% plus local tax) from non-resident holders by default; the Korea–US treaty lowers it to 15% (10% for a corporate holder of at least 10%), subject to your broker filing the treaty paperwork. Residents pay 15.4%.
  • Preferred shares (“우선주”) usually carry a slightly higher per-share dividend than common shares and no vote.
