Law firm Lee & Ko (representative attorney Kim Sang-gon) will hold a lecture on the 22nd for members of the KOSDAQ Association covering recent corporate legal issues, including the mandatory retirement of treasury shares and the so-called "stock price suppression prevention law."
The lecture will be divided into three topics related to managing legal issues in corporate risk management. The key content includes the mandatory retirement of treasury shares under the amended Commercial Act, the ripple effects of the stock price suppression prevention law, and reforms to the delisting system.
In the first session, attorney Kim Tae-jung of Lee & Ko's M&A Group (Judicial Research and Training Institute Class 37) will present on the theme "Mandatory retirement of treasury shares under the 3rd amended Commercial Act and response strategies." Kim plans to explain the main issues of the amended Commercial Act and its impact on corporations' governance and fundraising strategies.
The second session will be led by attorney Kim Sang-hun of Lee & Ko's taxes group (Judicial Research and Training Institute Class 36). Kim will address "The purpose of the amendment to the stock price suppression prevention law and its ripple effects," covering the legislative intent and the impact on corporations' shareholder return policies and succession strategies.
In the final session, Lee & Ko advisor Song Young-hun, who served as deputy head of the Korea Exchange (KRX) stock market division and the KOSDAQ market division, will present "Reforms to the delisting system and points to note." Song plans to explain the details of the delisting system reforms, the exchange's practical application direction, and matters that listed companies should keep in mind.
Lee & Ko said it hopes the lecture will help KOSDAQ Association members respond to recent legal and institutional changes and manage management risks.
