•

In accordance with Article 5-9 of the Regulation on Securities Issuance and Disclosure, this report concerns the disclosure of all stock options granted at the general meeting of shareholders held in 2022 (the “2022 General Meeting of Shareholders”) as shares scheduled for disposal, triggered by the initial exercise of stock options by certain of the grantees. Currently, 2,465 shares have been confirmed for disposal (exercising grantee: one retired executive officer).

•

Regarding Item 1 above, in accordance with Article 5-9 of the Regulation on Securities Issuance and Disclosure, the number of treasury shares to be disposed of includes all stock options granted at the 2022 General Meeting of Shareholders (415,716 shares), except shares for which rights have expired (220,471 shares). If stock options are exercised in the future, the number of treasury shares to be disposed of will be confirmed and distributed accordingly.

•

As the holder of the stock options that were exercised at this time have elected for the “compensation in treasury shares for the difference in price” method, SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) will transfer treasury shares equivalent in value to the difference between the exercise price and the closing market price on the exercise date. A total of 21,743 stock options have been exercised, and 2,465 shares have been confirmed for payment. The number of shares to be disposed of was calculated based on the closing market price on the stock option exercise date.

•

Among the exercisable stock options, 173,502 shares remain unconfirmed for disposal and may be subject to change depending on future exercise requests and methods of settlement.


(Unit: shares and Won)
Classification	Exercisable stock options	Exercised	Not yet exercised	Exercise price	Exercisable period
Granted in 2022	195,245	21,743	173,502	56,860	March 25, 2027
Total	195,245	21,743	173,502

•

Regarding Item 2 above, the price of the treasury shares to be disposed of is the exercise price of the stock options.

•

Regarding Item 3 above, the estimated aggregate disposal value has been calculated by multiplying the number of shares to be disposed of by the disposal price per share.

•

Regarding Item 6 above, the disposal will be implemented by the transfer of shares from the Company’s securities account for treasury shares to the securities account of each recipient.

•

Pursuant to Article 176-2 of the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, a separate resolution by the board of directors is not required.

While the number of outstanding shares will increase by the number of shares transferred based on the application of the “compensation in treasury shares for the difference in price” method (not the entire number of treasury shares scheduled for disposal (195,245 shares)), considering the total number of outstanding shares, the dilutive effect on the value of the Company’s shares is expected to be limited.
