South Korea's financial services giant reports latest quarterly financials while completing strategic acquisition of Tongyang Life Insurance as wholly-owned subsidiary.
Filing Overview
Woori Financial Group Inc. submitted its Form 6-K to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 14, 2026, containing condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (6-K filing, 2026-08-14). The filing was signed by Deputy President Seong Min Kwak.
The Seoul-based financial holding company, with a market capitalization of approximately $17 billion, operates a comprehensive portfolio of financial services across banking, securities, insurance, and asset management.
Share Cancellation Program
Woori Financial Group canceled 5,986,638 treasury shares on June 18, 2026, reducing the number of issued shares from 734,076,320 at year-end 2025 to 728,089,682 as of June 30, 2026 (6-K filing, 2026-08-14). The cancellation was conducted within the limits of distributable profits under Article 343, Paragraph 1 of the Commercial Code, leaving paid-in capital unchanged at 3,802,676,300,000 won despite the share reduction.
