Meritz Financial Group is disclosing a decision by Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance, the unlisted general insurer it owns entirely. The insurer declared an interim dividend of ₩2,377 per share on 104,535,112 shares, ₩248.5bn in total, with an August 5 record date, and the whole amount goes to Meritz Financial Group. Measured against the group's 2025 net income of about ₩2.35tn the transfer is roughly 11% of a year's consolidated profit, though it moves cash inside the group rather than out of it. Payment is due within a week of the resolution, which is why the payment-date field is left blank. Meritz Fire accounts for 38.8% of group total assets.
