[Alpha Biz= Reporter Kim Minyoung] KT is embarking on quarterly dividends for the first time since its founding.

KT announced on the 30th that it has decided on a cash quarterly dividend of 500 won per ordinary share. The dividend yield is 1.3%, with a total dividend amount of 122.8 billion 882 million won. The dividend record date was last month's 31st, and the payment date is scheduled for next month's 13th.

KT is also introducing an online dividend inquiry service. This initiative aims to enhance shareholder convenience and strengthen ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) management. While KT shareholders have previously been able to confirm dividends by mail, starting from this first-quarter dividend, they will be able to check dividends on the KT website. Online dividend inquiries will be available starting from the 1st of next month.
