[Samsung SDS Incentive Reform] Stock-Linked Compensation to be Decided by Employee Vote on the 7th 04.07.2026

Samsung SDS is conducting an employee vote regarding a reform plan to transition its existing cash-based incentive system to a stock-linked compensation model. The voting period, originally scheduled to end on June 29, has been extended to July 7, and the new compensation system will be officially implemented if a majority of current employees vote in favor. The core of this reform is to abolish the existing Target Achievement Incentive (TAI) and Overall Performance Incentive (OPI) and establish a structure that integrates them into a single annual stock-based compensation. This move is interpreted as a measure to respond to compensation risks that have spread across affiliates following the recent court ruling regarding Samsung Electronics' incentives being classified as wages. Previously, Samsung SDS showed a proactive response to these institutional changes by expanding the share ownership of its CEO, outside directors, and executives.
