Listed Firms Recommend Qualified Outside Directors

MAEIL NEWSPAPER : 02/19/2007

 

As companies that settled their accounts in December, 2006 are finalizing their general stockholders meetings, the financial industry has predicted that former high-profile figures are expected to become the outside directors of the listed firms.

 

According to a public notice by the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) and the Korea Exchange (KRX), listed companies including KT, Hyundai Motor Group, Shinsegae Co. Ltd. and SK Telecom Co. Ltd., have recommended several former qualified outside directors from the highly bureaucratic, legal circles and supervisory institutes and are currently waiting for approvals from the general meeting of stockholders.

 

KT has recommended Oh Myung, chairman of Konkuk University who held posts in succession of the minister of science and technology, while Soosan Co. Ltd., has recommended Jin Nyum, an advisor from Samjong KPMG Inc. and former deputy prime minister and minister of finance and economy as the new candidates for outside directors.

 

Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS) has recommended Cheong Hae-chang, former minister of justice and the President's executive secretary, currently a chief director of Songseouldang Education Foundation, while Ilshin Spinning Co. Ltd. has recommended Song Ja, former minister of education and Kyeryong Construction Co. Ltd. recommended a lawyer, Kim Gak-young, former vice-minister and the Attorney General as the candidates for outside directors.

 

Shinsegae has recommended Lee Joo-suk, advisor at Kim & Chang, the legal firm, and former director of the Office of National Tax Administration, and Hwang Byung-gi, former secretary-general at the FSS as the candidates for outside director, while SK Telecom has recommended Shim Dal-sup, former director of customs at the Ministry of Finance and Economy (MOFE) as the candidate for an inspection commissioner.

 

Companies tend to recruit figures who can wield influence in the industry as outside directors.

 

Hyundai Motor Group, expecting to hold a general meeting of stockholders on March 9, has recommended Lim Young-chul, director of the Policy Division at the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) and Gang Il-hyung, former commissioner of the Daejeon National Tax Office as candidates for outside director.

 

 

Institutional investors unheard

JoongangIlbo : 02/16/2007

 

A private think tank’s study showed Korea’s listed companies lag behind their Asian neighbors in listening to institutional shareholders.

 

The Center for Good Corporate Governance said its study ranked Korea eighth out of 11 Asian markets in terms of giving investors opportunities to exercise their rights.Among other issues, the study took into account how many days of notice companies gave their institutional investors prior to shareholder meetings.

 

The center noted that 64 percent of companies sent notice one to three days before the legal deadline for notification, which is two weeks prior to shareholder gatherings.

 

Less than 10 percent notified their foreign institutional investors 10 days before the two-week deadline.

 

Only about 5 percent of the companies with foreign shareholders composed such notices in English.

 

And less than 5 percent reported specific numerical results of shareholders’ votes.“The major reason institutional investors have not been actively voicing their opinions is that the current system discourages them from doing so,” the center’s report argued.

 

Two Korean companies this week did rock the boat using their shareholder rights.On Wednesday, Shinyoung Investment Management cast a dissenting vote on candidates for an outside director and for three board positions at Ilshin Spinning Co.

 

That the latter recommended.

 

Shinyoung said the outside director candidate, Song Ja, has missed more than half of its board meetings.Then yesterday, Sei Asset Korea Co.

 

voted against KCC Corp.’s recommendation of Chung Jong-soon as one of its outside directors.Sei Asset noted that Mr.

 

Chung has served as chief executive of Kumgang Korea Chemical, the old form of KCC, and that such an experience could keep him from acting as an objective, independent voice on the company.Mr.

 

Chung is currently a senior advisor to KCC.

 

 

Women Workers Takes 20% of Listed Firms

MAEIL NEWS PAPER : 04/26/2006

 

The ratio of female employees in major domestic firms has exceeded the 20 percent mark.

 

After study was made of 548 business reports in fiscal year 2005 which were submitted on April 26 to the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) by the stock market listed firms, it has been found that female workers accounted for 21.44 percent of the firms' employees last year.

 

This is a 1.61 percent increase from the 19.83 percent reached during 2004.

 

The total number of employees in the 548 companies had increased by 3.77 percent in just one year, from 849,000 to 881,000; the number of male workers had jumped 1.69 percent from 681,000 to 692,000 while female workers had increased 12.21 percent from 168,000 to 189,000.

 

Of the total increased number, 64.18 percent consisted of women, which showed that two out of every three newly-employed were women last year.

 

Meanwhile, it was found that 7.66 percent or 42 of the 548 enterprises had over 50 percent female workers.

 

By company, the fashion business, Handsome marked the highest female employee ratio with 84.74 percent with 761 out of 898 employees being women.

 

This record was followed by Pulmuone, with 78.92 percent and Woongjin Think Big with 78.05 percent.

 

Like Handsome, female recruits were mostly found in the textile or clothing industries, including Kyungbang (72.47 percent), Yoohwa (71.05 percent), Ilshin Spinning (70.92 percent) and Cheonbang (67.36 percent).

 

Additionally, more women than men worked in department stores, such as Lotte Shopping (60.73 percent), Hyundai Department Store (56.25 percent), Shinsegae (54.26 percent), Lotte Midopa (67.91 percent) and Gwangju Shinsegae (67.59 percent).
