SK Square files SK hynix's ₩273.3 billion quarterly dividend as a subsidiary event

This is SK Square reporting a decision made by SK hynix, not by itself. SK hynix declared a quarterly dividend of ₩375 per share totalling ₩273.3bn with an August 31 record date, and SK Square — which holds a controlling interest in the chipmaker — is required to disclose it. For SK Square shareholders the payment is an inflow, not an outflow: cash moves from the subsidiary toward the parent in proportion to its stake. SK Square's own 2025 net income of ₩8.82tn is overwhelmingly equity-method earnings from SK hynix rather than operating profit from its ₩1.41tn of revenue, so this filing is a rare instance of that relationship producing actual cash.

SK Square reports SK hynix's August 31 dividend record date

The second of two same-day filings in which SK Square passes along a decision by SK hynix rather than one of its own. It reports that SK hynix fixed August 31, 2026 as the record date for the quarterly dividend declared at the same board meeting, under Article 54-2 of SK hynix's articles of incorporation, with entitled holders determined by record date alone. Six outside directors attended. Nothing in this document concerns SK Square's own shareholders directly — it tells them when the cash flowing up from the chipmaker will be fixed, not when or whether SK Square will pass any of it on.

Dividend08/07/26kstock explained
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.
