Takeaway & Governance Rule

Core Rule: Buyback Without Cancellation + Later Employee Transfer (223.95B KRW Calc.) = Pre-Funded Labor Expense, Not Shareholder Return (just as SK Hynix excluded the 10T KRW employee tranche of its 20T KRW buyback from its shareholder-return tally). Only DART Form 주식소각결정 (JVM -3.20%, BGF Eco -6.00%) permanently shrinks the EPS denominator [1][4].
