Form 20-F Form 40-F Shareholder Return Policy of SK hynix Inc. (the Company ) (Fair Disclosure) 1. Information Title Shareholder Return Policy Details - The Company s current shareholder return policy is premised on achieving financial soundness targets, and the Company believes that progress toward those targets is proceeding as planned. - For the policy period (2025 to 2027), the Company plans to return over 50% of cumulative Free Cash Flow to its shareholders. The Company will pursue both the acquisition and cancellation of treasury shares and cash dividends in order to improve shareholder value. The Company is also reviewing an expansion of dividends, including existing fixed dividends and special dividends. - In light of the Company s meaningful generation of Free Cash Flow, the Company has decided to implement an early return to shareholders. The Company considers its recent share price to be undervalued relative to the Company s intrinsic value and has therefore decided to acquire and cancel treasury shares in the amount of approximately Won 40 trillion in order to achieve efficient capital reallocation and enhance shareholder value. Going forward, the Company plans to continue to acquire and cancel treasury shares during the policy period, taking into account cash flow, market conditions and distributable profits. Further details on additional returns to shareholders, including the specific scale and methods of dividends and acquisitions of treasury shares, will be determined through resolutions of the board of directors of the Company and announced at the time of the third quarter earnings announcement.
